I don't think Ferrari is in front of Red Bull...
It's unlikely that RB are driving on low fuel loads all the time so...

Clearly not on absolute minimum fuel loads so far either as Vettel's best time was done on a 5 lap stint.

Hmmm hard to judge but I believe both teams are holding back atm.. I believe Ferrari have edged RB in race pace and will have a stella session, looks like Mclaren will be way behind.. but you never know its a chess game atm nobody is showing their cards yet..

Last two hours or testing I belive we will know who will quick in Quali pace and I predict RB and Ferrari..

Warmer temperatures and lots of laps for Massa. Alonso takes over tomorrow 3.10.2011

Maranello, 10 March

Circuit: Circuit de Catalunya – 4.655 km
Driver: Felipe Massa
Car: Ferrari 150° Italia
Weather: air temperature 9/18°C, track temperature 10/27 °C. Sunny.

Second day of testing for Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro at the Catalunya Circuit, again with Felipe Massa at the wheel of the 150° Italia.

On his final day of testing prior to the start of the World Championship, the Brazilian tackled a busy work programme, focussing mainly on a comparison of various aerodynamic elements, before moving on to a simulation of a race weekend. Felipe covered a total of 132 laps, the quickest in a time of 1.22.092.

The Scuderia continues testing at this circuit tomorrow, when Fernando Alonso will be on track.

Schumacher's mid level stint

24.6, 23.9, 24.1, 24.4, 24.4

Seems you have to be cautious initially before pushing that bit harder. If you approach it that way you appear to get more consistency from the tyre.

with Schu that quick with a hack of a car designed by amatuers ,I´d say Ferrari and RedBull must be sandbagging big time....so again we have not seen anything yet but Mercedes has dropped the fuellevel significantly.
