2011 Testing - Barcelona 18th - 21st Feb

[kalinka]

Oh so !...Interesting...why is that ? What's the difference to 2010 ?

[Richard]

Presumably a lack of cash sloshing around from the TV companies.

There will be cameras there - the BBC is running text commentary by a chap in London who can see pictures from the circuit.

I didn't know there was even a testing stream last year.

[Richard]

There were a lot more discussion and live timing last year. The testing thread ran to 73 pages is why I started separate threads for each location this year.

Have a look at this page viewtopic.php?f=1&t=7911&start=1080

and viewtopic.php?f=1&t=7911&start=1020

and viewtopic.php?f=1&t=7911&start=975

[raymondu999]

Yes, that I know. But kalinka is looking for a live video stream, if I'm not wrong. Which I believe is unavailable, and was last year too.

¿ Is the track configuration the same for testing and the Spanish GP ?

Thanks

[Richard]

Aha - the trusty greek site from last year has timing records

Thanks to FrukostScones for the reminder

Did the new regulations slow the cars down even further? Looking at the test times, from compared to the best time from last year on the 1st day, it's is now some 2.5 seconds slower.

Last year the times eventually went into the high 1:21's on day 2, 3 and four, I wonder where they'll get to this year.

The upper boundry is the slowest time of the fastest laps not including the very slow lap Heidfeld put in because he was mainly doing practice starts. The lower boundry is the fastest lap of the day by Vettel. These laps are Schumacher's total laps of the day.

[Blackout]

Both Vettel and Rosberg did a race simulation today (interuupted by a red flag and some mechanic problems for Vettel, though) but the RB7 was way faster than the W02...
