2013 pre-season testing

What if Jenson wasn't on mediums eh Silver?

 

Or they are just faster....

 

.

 

Says on AmuS he was, only Lotus haven't gone on Mediums yet I think.

 

15:53 Button wraps up a short outing on the hard tyres with a 1m20.450s before returning to the McLaren garage.

 

How can that be hard or medium tyres, he was losing 7-8 tenths per lap:

1:18.861
1:19.696
1:20.450

 

Webber set his time on a 8 laps worth of fuel, Jenson had 4 laps, Massa 9 laps.

Full qualifying trim or on fumes, Webber and Massa weren't

 

You're assuming they were empty at the end of their runs.

 

We don't know fuel loads. Nobody apart from their respective teams

 

This. That or he was pushing near enough the limit.

Yup.

 

Thats Hamilton 1 - Mclaren 2 then

 

Well Jenson broke last years time set by Kimi by almost a second.

 

Surprised to see mclaren at the top, last year they were kept a low profile around the middle, maybe they are trying to scare the paddock

 

Button was eventually able to resume and in the final minutes of the session
clocked a 1m18.861s on Pirelli's new hard compound tyres, putting him more than
eight tenths clear of the field.

So what have we learnt today... that we always forget that testing means little to nothing

 

but mclaren were 4 hundredths faster on their hard tyre runs

 

Vettel tomorrow.
Webber drove today, remember that.
