I wish Kravitz would stfu and stop hyping up the car every time it turns a wheel. I don't want this backfiring on "team Mercedes" because all the haters came out against the hype before finding out it actually was a bad car all along. Because all you will get will be: "Well they had the fastest car in testing, proves he is average then, (insert more BS here....)". Glad Lewis is the one keeping it in reality! bad sadly don't think the media caught up yet.
Most sensible thing Gary has written all month: BBC Sport's chief F1 writer Andrew Benson: "Ferrari and Red Bull are probably the biggest mysteries of the winter. No-one doubts that the Red Bull will be competitive in Melbourne - they are triple world champions and the car has looked fantastic out on the track. But the Ferrari is more difficult to read. It seems to be genuinely fast, but there have been reliability problems, including Felipe Massa losing a front wheel when an upright broke on Saturday, and there have been no long runs to analyse. Perhaps Fernando Alonso's last day in the car on Sunday will provide more information."

Would laugh if another team is reading the not606 page, whilst Silver is posting up all these clear HD images of the RB9.
All over the web, so not hard to find These guys have personal photographers anyway, they already have these pictures.
You are making it a nice honey pot of RB9 images to be fair. Haha. A very easy source for other teams.

Silver, did you know you're responsible for 1 in 3 of the posts on this thread? You're also 500 posts ahead of anyone else. Dedication!

Alonso trying hard to knock Nico off the top, the gap is only 0.086. And is going quicker again on softs.
Herbert: If you go through the drivers' runs, you can see that there are greater disparities between Lewis's fast time and longer runs that he did. If you then look at Mark's fastest time and the longer runs, Red Bull look to be consistently running the same fuel level. And on those race simulation runs, the drop-off of the Mercedes seems greater than the Red Bull. But I have to say it is very hard to read - it's all part of the testing game.
Looks like a gap has appeared where the DRD system will come from: please log in to view this image Might yet see Ferrari run a DRD today...
