[Peetbeat]

ok now you see clear that it isnt transparent

[sriraj1031]

looks like kimi has some speed problem; albeit in a good way

[stringy]

interesting, williams was fast last year in jerez but we all know 2011 was the worst season for them

i just hope it doesn't happen the same thing with lotus because kimi is flying like roadrunner beep beep

I think Williams were probably running light to attract sponsors.
Whats Lotuses finances like? I've not heard much about that aspect of the team lately so have assumed they are fairly stable. Hopefully this is genuine pace!

Ricciardo,Di resta and Button are on the track

Much bigger shot of F2012

That engine cover fin is transparent on that picture

You can see the RW throug it. Some image artifact ?

Or perfectly lined up reflection from the other side. Certainly an interesting photo!

Reflection. The Santander logo is reversed.

Are the McLaren slitted exhaust bulges legal? Would that not be in the way of the "no bodywork 3degrees either direction of the exhaust?

[FrukostScones]

So exhausts' configuration run today by mclaren and ferrari is very similar?

the silver things are covers

[vlado09]

Button-1:23.551 medium tires

[mahesh248f1]

Massa lapping on hard tires ? taking time for him to pick up the pace.

[mahesh248f1]

Toro Rosso exhausts are already overheating the rear wish bones.
How will they fix this ?
changing the and angle inwards or upwards ?
anything else ?

[vlado09]

Button`s times 1:23.551,1:22.440,1:26.149,1:22.366,1:30.750,1:30.750

Yes my mistake. I did not see tha handles and was making wrong assumptions

[KnottyBwoy]

What's the "mini rear wing" under the rear wing of mclaren?

[KingHamilton]

Renault and kimi looking Fast, However I don`t think the Bigger team`s like McLaren are chasing times right now!

[officialsushy]

mclaren are hoping data collection.i expect lotus to blew their car up in austrilia
