@ScarbsF1 is trying to sum up the exhaust developments. It's something like:

Do Sky Sports have a more refined timing system that the rest of world isn't allowed access to or do they just not get F1?

Lotus maintained their recent resurgence as Romain Grosjean set the fastest time on Day Two of the Mugello Test by less than one thousandth of a second ahead of Sauber's Kamui Kobayashi.

With almost everyone copying mclarens designs and mclaren sitting still in terms of development parts, its a bit of a worry, though im sure they know what theyre doing. What I find odd is that nobody is copying Lotus and they have been the most consistent team pace wise all season.

If anybody wanted to know what Mugello is like onboard...

Either Paffett and Turvey are appalling or that Mclaren is not as quick as we thought.

There's that picture of the RB rear wing.

Lotus looking ever better, with two drivers who should probably improve along with the car too

 

[TheModestMatt]

What was wrong with McLaren? They didn't bother to go out for the last 3 hours...

Progress was brought to a premature end at 15:00 when a gearbox issue ended the day’s running.

McLaren might have a silver medal for preventing global warming but jesus wtf is going on with those gearboxes?

very aerodynamic, they seem to have the airflow just right to make the paint avoid the letters

I expect they are still fettling their new carbon fibre-housed gearboxes?

Scarbs: McLaren No DDRS as yet, but the rear wing continues to have sensors set into its lower surface (under the silver tape)
