    Was it a problem with the gearbox or precautionary check?

    Bit of both if I remember correctly, nothing terminal but something considerable enough to focus on.

    More and more long runs for McLaren again...

    So bloody sandbagging! The most dangerous car "mostly" hangs around 3rd-4th in these tests.

    Seems odd that drivers are going faster on the harder tyre. Then again it could be better track conditions and lower fuel loads. The joys of testing!

    Drop off is pretty bad at the moment though, losing roughly a second a lap. Might be heating the tyres too much as he's fighting back to the 28's after cooling them down.

    I guess its because usually cars start races (with heavy fuel) on the softs they qualified on and at the end of the race they would be on light fuel with the hards. I presume with their simulation runs at these tests they will be doing something along these lines
