I know the link - though thnx for the heads up timbo, but it's pain to every time translate from Spanish into English

it was like a flood yesterday of news and pictures being the first test of F1. that's what I was talking about missing from F1T..... [-X

[horse]

Massa is flying again: 1:11.722

I reckon an 1.11.0 and hence below 2008 testing time is very possible.

None, there was no performance equalization this year.

Paintball is back!

Paint on the McLaren is not a good sign. Remembers me of last years begin of their problems.
Or...
We wondered where the air is channel through in the rear end of the car. Maybe they don't know it either and want to find out?

Not at all, this is one of the features with "the dead zone", remember? Paint is only to confirm the windtunnel.
