Official Pre-season testing thread

I can't see McLaren going for it this year, Honda will want them working flat out on next year's car and the development pace will be high this year.

Merc haven't been out since their front wing failure. I wonder if they're having to make a reinforced front wing? Could miss the rest of the test if that's the case.

 

They had to reinforce the original and it's still to be delivered, AMuS report Rosberg will be out in around 10 minutes.

 

And as if by magic Rosberg heads out to dominate everyone

 

They decided having the front wing flexing off the car was going a bit far to one-up Newey.

Esteban stopped on track.

 

Probably just seeing how low they can go on fuel.

 

10:46 He's had a spin at Turn 5, but there was no impact - which is rather lucky as he's only a few feet off the barriers.


lucky lucky

 

Nope he actually went off:

John Leicester ‏@johnleicester 1h
Spoke to Schumacher's hospital: It's not confirming @lequipe claim, citing unnamed source, that doctors starting to wake F1 legend from coma

 

Look at that without even trying the mclaren are able to dominate the time sheet with a Merc engine.

 

Is it me, or does the chauffeur look a bit familiar?

 

Tobias Grüner F1 ‏@tgruener38s
#F1 Ecclestone sent a letter to the teams. His latest plan: double points for last 3 races. AMuS exclusive:

 

Gah damn you BLS

 

Let's hope that is one rumour that is true and they find he is okay.
