    In theory this season will make things a bit more even for rookies, a more level playing field where even the oldies have a lot of new things to learn <ok>

    HAM says cars are very different to drive compared with last year, ALO says they are the same. Not sure what that tells us...

    SUT: "I accelerated out of the corner, shifting up from third to fourth on a straight line, and suddenly the car snapped and I went off"

    That's interesting, Rosberg says they are pretty much the same as last year too.

    Vettel's debut was 2007 too. Magnussen can be Lewis, Kvyat can be Seb and Ericsson can be Heikki. <ok>

    So they reckon Mercedes power systems are at 13,000prm already with very minimal problems..... NICE!

    The feeling is that in Brackley are aware that they have a very solid base and competitive. La Mercedes , therefore, can rely on the theoretical motoring supremacy: the V6 Turbo German would be credited with 13 000 rpm as maximum engine speed without feeling any reliability problem! Behind the "panzer divisionen" emerges Ferrari with Fernando Alonso : Spanish pay more than two seconds from McLaren's head, but there is concern that the Maranello team is meeting a work plan that is executed with regularity: today were scheduled checks on aerodynamics and development began on the structure and mechanics of the F14 T.

    Ricciardo: "Adrian has gone back to the drawing board. There is only so much they can do here at the track"

    Feel bad for Ricciardo, once it is time for him to step up, the ****s hit the fan.

    Silver, we'll leave it down to your psycho-analytical skills to tell us how he copes.
