I agree Mercedes are now dealing with actual season problems rather than testing ones so I say ignore the Mercedes problems who are way ahead than the others in testing.
I read a report on why FOTA disbanded the other day and one of the reasons was because of whitmarsh. They actually whitmarshed whitmarsh
I believe they ran out of fuel....I believe they were looking at a fast headline time to finish testing and ran out of fuel on track.
Video of Vettel's earlier brake induced spin up on the beeb http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/26400625
Makes sense a front brake failure when the car spins during full lock. Though Benson would like to make it out that it's Vettel's fault of course by not saying anything afterwards. What was the phrase you guys used back in the 606 days 1 Lorca?
The guys seem to be taking out the fuel. Hamilton just did fastest lap of the just...just short of Massa's time he did yesterday.
Yeah, he was carrying a hell a lot of speed at the apex point, on what is a slow corner. Clear the car had not slowed down enough.
oh, look, Forza's back now he's found something that makes Mercedes look bad! Best hope those shareholders aren't reading this........

Or testing the limits of the fuel tank for calibration purposes. I would have thought you'd do that at a previous test though.
Speed traps proved Ferrari were pushing much more than the Mercedes during testing in the straight lines.
Lol all Mercedes problems were all 'high mileage' failures, cant say the same for Ferrari engines that can't even do a race sim yet.
