Not sure where to put it, Sam Michael on Perez: Q. How would you sum up Checo's performance in his four grands prix so far for McLaren? SM: Melbourne was Checo's first race weekend for McLaren, and both Saturday and Sunday were mixed-weather days. His pace was respectable compared with Jenson's, but we weren't competitive on the Albert Park circuit anyway. In Sepang we had a technical issue on Checo's car throughout the race, yet he still scored points. In Shanghai he was fast, but he was out-raced by Jenson in that first critical race stint while managing the tyres was crucial. So, going to Bahrain, he spent a lot of time with us, analysing his data with his engineers. Our instruction to him was to focus hard on optimising his race performance, and to prioritise that over qualifying. Looking at his race weekend as a whole, he did exactly as he was advised and achieved a great result for himself, while scoring eight valuable points for the team.
Why? Why not host the testing in Europe instead, where the teams are based so that we can CUT COSTS. remember when F1 was about doing that? Anyone? Anyone at all?
I understand the idea about using the warmer weather, but I rather they loose one of the test sessions and then just hold a mid season European one before a race to potentially spice up the championship order.
This.. They could reduce it to two pre-seasons test and then one test after the first four fly away races (helps fill the big gap us fans have to put up with in-between races), and a final in season test towards the end of the summer break?
