Sky ticker: So, that's three 'offs across one and a half wet test days for the young Mexican. Sauber certainly haven't been shy in sending him out there in such tricky conditions - he's completed more laps than anyone this morning (47) - so he's certainly been finding out the hard way about how F1 cars handle in the wet.

Even so, surely Sauber would have had more sense? I know they took a risk on Kimi back in 01, but he's Finnish, he would have known how to drive in adverse weather, it's part of the Finnish driving test. Last time i looked, Esteban wasn't Finnish.
That's not the best way for Bianchi to start his career...but as long as it keeps the likes of Karthikeyan away from F1, I'm all for it.
I'm just saying it's unfair for Marussia to give them equal track time at this test when they should be compensating for Razia's absence at the previous test. Anyway it doesn't matter now. Razia's sponsors still haven't paid up.
AMuS: Bianchi is incidentally already brought in connection with Marussia if Luiz Razia not bring the promised millions can. But Bianchi is not the only one. Also, Narain Karthikeyan, Vitaly Petrov and Bruno Senna are in the draw. Especially important is the sponsorship package.
