Make that 1:13.938 for the Hulk.

Whether the Hulk sets a faster time than di Resta or not means very little. We do know however how Nico drove last year in a Williams and I wasn't sold.

It is still very early days, nice to see the hulk though topping the time sheets, Alonso deliberately slowing on the straights? whats all that about? and how do they know he is doing so deliberately?

still it will keep us busy untill the 1st race weekend.

 

[JugglingJonah]

Vettel now leads with 1:13.769.

 

[El_Bando]

whats your guys betting for the fastest time of today? Im going to say low 1.13's

 

[JugglingJonah]

No idea El_b... just wanting MS to get out there.. and hopefully top the time sheets just to spite those citing his age as a negative.. LMAO...

 

[El_Bando]

Well the times wont account to much.. I mean the sauber was one of the faster cars of last years tests.

 

[JugglingJonah]

They never do though do they El_B.. its just our little fix in between lmao.... bbc are top of my total gits lists.. ffs redbutton it.. refreshing a page every 10 seconds tis like watching paint dry.


di resta is taking over now... not that we can see anything LMAO...

 

[Forza Bianchi]

I think the cars will reach the low 1.12's - well Alonso will anyway.

 

[JugglingJonah]

di-resta 7th quickest not that it means feck all lmao done 4 laps and 1:17.242 and going quicker be good to see if he can get near the hulk.

 

[Forza Bianchi]

I believe the Mercedes is ready to come back out soon with Michael at the wheel

 

[DHCanary]

Schumacher goes ninth fastest

 

[JugglingJonah]

just came across this.. live timing from williams... tells you who is out etc...

http://www.attwilliams.com/test-timings

 

[JugglingJonah]

what does the "O" stand for on the williams site? saw vettels time increase on his last lap was watching for Alonso and the "O" kicked in...

tis fine.. Alonso just shaved 8/10ths of his last lap...

 

[u408379965]

Rosberg and Schumacher set identical lap times.

 

[u408379965]

Jonah, presumably O means out, or on track, and P means in the pits.

 

[El_Bando]

Thanks jonah, thats usefull

 

[El_Bando]

does O mean out or outlap? or Off track lol

 

[JugglingJonah]

Thats what i thought Glorious, was just checking it didnt mean "OFF" LOL.. Alonos in pits now... fingers crossed we are going to get some low fuel runs see if he can top the timing sheets not that today means anything..

 

[JugglingJonah]

Alonso out now.. last lap was 1:17.093.. lets see what gives.

Answer: 1:18.208..

no "O" came up when it was obviously an outlap so now thinking maybe they had an off... Koby had one for ages then the P came up so could possibly mean "Off"
