Looking at damage wise only the front right suspension looks damaged + nose. 2.5-3 hr job and should be back for Afternoon.

I doubt they'll rush it out on the first day of a test, the mechanics aren't properly familiar with the car yet, they'll want to take their time. They'll also want to find out why that failed, could just be a faulty part but if the design is inherently flawed they won't want to send it out again with that spec of front wing.

That's if they can qualify close enough to Mercedes' 107%, could just imagine Mercedes being the only cars on race day, and then fail at the end giving zero points to everybody

Ferrari within 107%. As it stands Mercedes will lock out the front row, Ferrari the second row and everyone else fails to qualify. In the race both Mercedes' front wings will fail as they're lapping the Ferraris for the third time, wiping all four cars out of the race.

Caterham & marrusia will make it on track 1hour after the green lights. They will be 1 lap short of unlapping themselves before the 2hour timeout.

We can learn a lot from testing <ok>
