My theory: Lotus and Force India were going all out, Ferrari were sandbagging.
Red Bull ominous.
Williams were depressingly slow.
Sounds like a damn good theory to me, except that Williams are sandbagging even more than Ferrari

Or be really extreme and demand that it must exit behind the rest of the car

Let's see what a proper driver does with that car before we get too worried.
Could they be blowing their exhaust for no reason, simply to trick others? Its an obvious noise and everyone knows what it it.
Who wrote that report Forza, a regular on the F1 circuit? Would be nice if Force India are up there, always good to have teams mixing up the set order

Big Australian Red Bull battle between Ricciardo and Webber for top of the timesheets. I like it!

A bit extreme there BLS, thats far to complicated even for F1 designers to get their heads around !!!
To quote Mr Button, things appear at first glance to be better for McLaren than they did in 2011.
"There's obviously work we need to do to improve it, but it feels right, which is good. There are no niggly areas with the car, which is nice. Quite different to last year."

Yet another installation lap for Button but Webber seems to be doing something interesting, other than continuing to reduce the lap time.
He's done this three times today - a blitz lap, a backed-off lap, and a blitz lap:
1:19.682
1:27.293
1:19.887
1:19.459
1:27.159
1:19.769
1:19.184
1:28.585
1:19.855
Wonder what they're testing with that kind of pattern?

Seems Red Bull are hiding (or pretending to be hiding) pace. Buttons starting to get some laps in now but McLaren and Ferrari seem to be lagging behind the others in terms of laps.
My guess would be how the tyres react to a heat cycle, or how quickly they can get them up to temperature and how hard it is to keep them there.
