2013 pre-season testing

I don't know about that, last season Seb went after mark and the car kept breaking down and didn't get many laps in with the new car until Australia. Think it was something like 60 laps for Seb and 180 odd for Mark last season before the first GP.

 

7 out laps for Jenson? Something could be very wrong with the McLaren...

 

13:14 Early reports from AUTOSPORT technical expert Gary Anderson out on track are that the Lotus looks good, and the Toro Rosso and Force India show promise.

Another out lap....

Another...

 

Shocking day for Mercedes.

 

How many outlaps do McLaren need, is something on the car looking that likely to break?

Marussia have more timed laps than Mercedes and McLaren put together!

I guess Merc are a small company which can't afford on track spares lol

Edit:

The hate starts, Mercedes FB page.

 

Lolling myself off here.

 

So Marussia and Caterham are still fighting amongst themselves.

 

Merc not going out again today

 

Button threatened setting a time there.

 

Wouldn't expect any changes to the leaderboard until the end of the day now.

 

7 laps for McLaren and 11 for Rosberg, so far Lewis is still winning but McLaren can make a comeback

Like I said W02 style... unreliable like hell!

AmuS: Red Bull fans need not worry by the way. Team boss Horner has confirmed that one carries out today above all aerodynamic test runs and not personal bests is off.

 

Wouldn't bet against it being a repeat of 2011.

 

Remember the last time the BBC said the RBR car was boring and little changed?

 

Wonder if he'll say anything remotely true or interesting.

 

Button has just done a lap with a 1;20;600
