I remember Williams stiffing everyone in pre-season a few years back, then struggling for a point for the rest of the season. I take nothing from these tests other than it looks like Renault could be having problems, but there's a while to go until lights out in Adelaide.
lol hasn't that been the Hamilton story for the last 5 years? As i've said people seem to only care about the top spot in F1 these days, and just want the rules to be changed until their favourite driver is on it, the fact they keep changing the rules because of people complaining, just encourages people to complain more.

Nico Rosberg ‏@nico_rosberg41s Cool, day 4 of testing & already completed a full race practice. Will now hand over the car to @lewishamilton Seems both days of Hamiltons running have been affected in one way or another so Ham's getting a bit more time
Yep, and I look pretty stupid, right up until "the wing fails" again. I trust in Lewis, he won't let me down.
No team orders at Mercedes, clearly want to make sure both drivers get an equal chance with the new machinery
If you're lucky someone will be filming! [video=youtube;guc2-x7dGnA]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guc2-x7dGnA[/video]
chaps, lets not forget that Vettel/Redbull have been by far the biggest beneficiaries of the last major regulation changes, they were NOWHERE before 2009!
To me, the front wing looks attached to the nose, right where it should be. It just looks like a lock up to me. There are just parts that bounced back
