Incorrect. The time was set on what looked like a proper qualy sim, i.e. a one lapper. In fact, all of his sub 1.22 min laps were done on one lap stints.marcush. wrote:Schumachers best time was posted during a 5lap stint.

The Red Bull and Ferrari best laps have been done on longer stints of 4 or 5 laps.
Most analysts are saying Merc has taken a big step up in performance but they are probably still a way off the ultimate pace of those two front runners.
What's your source? I've been following autosport who's doing live timings+reports and they claim otherwise...Ferraripilot wrote:Tumbarello wrote:Incorrect.

Schu's 1.22.249 lap was set on the second lap of a 5 lap stint. The first lap was 1.23.4, followed by the 1.22.249, then 1.24.3 followed by two more 1.24 laps.
You do realise that a 1.22 min lap time is a almost a second slower than his best and the test's best, yes?Ferraripilot wrote:It was on the live updated lap timer here: http://f1tests.mine.nu/2011_1.php?rev=on
Schu did indeed run 3 or 4 one lap shots where he immediately pitted after, but in his final qualy practice stint he was out for 5 laps as I described and set his fastest time on the second lap. The other 1.22.2 lap was set earlier on a two or three lap run if I remember right.

maybe he missed the chicane or what?
Yeah I'm confused now too as some sites are showing 1.21.249 as fastest time whilst others have the 1.21.268. Perhaps he was using a set of left over Bridgestones on that stint because those consecutive lap times don't seem to fit the characteristics of the Pirellis?Ferraripilot wrote:FrukostScones wrote:8 1:24.745 -1.544

Perhaps you're right there as this time was not recorded, but rather the 1.21.268 time was. hmm. well they didn't report what he did their either way. mystery solved. I'll assume he dodged a chicane as this time was not recorded

I'm afraid not. Perez set his time on the super softs. Anything saying otherwise is misguided. Teams have not been giving out any information on what tyres they're using at any time, understandably. Teams will have sets of tyres from previous tests they can use. It is testing, afterall, and you can do whatever you want.Ferraripilot wrote:Wrong again Seg
I'm afraid not sunshine. It's a 2009 Brawn front wing with an additional inboard element - and it's taken them two years of development to get there. It is what it is. Read Scarbs's article for the lowdown. They haven't even been using it much.As for this "New Old Wing" business you are seriously out of your head now mate. Small similarities yes, but that's where it ends.
I was kidding, of course...lolMeowMix wrote:
Thats pretty ridiculous. Why would they waste even one lap testing on tyres (that they have to return after every race so couldn't really have spares) and that are not this years tyres? Its just a waste of precious testing time....
Come off it Giblet, cut the nonsense. We're all now supposed to think everything is hunky dory based on a morning's worth of laptimes set on nothing but short runs? I think we can do better than that here, can't we?Giblet wrote:People don't realize when they say the same negative things over and over and louder and louder, their opinions actually become more silent as on the internet words have no volume..........................................................
The updates I have seen are:segedunum wrote: Mercedes now confidently claim that all of their upgrades are on their car, which mainly consists of a re-positioned exhaust and a modified Brawn 2009 front wing (which they didn't even end up using), and they do nothing but single lap qualifiers as well as five lap runs with it so we can compare absolutely nothing.
