On the final day of winter testing at Jerez de la Frontera, Ferrari's Fernando Alonso was the fastest man on track despite spending quite some time in the garage due to car problems. The Spaniard was followed by Toro Rosso's Jean-Eric Vergne and Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel.

I think the teams have a good understanding of whom is where, but outside of that fraternity, and without the tools to tell, we can only make do with what we see and also the timings.....
But, let me just say...Im confused by Ferrari's rhetoric. First they say they have a plan, and this involves no quick timed laps, then they admit to not being where they want to be, and now theyre going for a few hot laps?
Something isnt right. But maybe its a ploy to throw the others off? As I said we can only really guess here.
Also Good to see another south african on this siteLekker bly my china!
I didnt call it a glory run...Lorenzo_Bandini wrote: It's not a glory runs. You didn't do glory runs with a set of tyres who have ten laps.

10:45 Red Bull has informed @StrangAutosport about the problems with Vettel's car:
"Normal testing niggles, some of which are not easy to get. It was not in the plan to lose three hours but we are quite unconcerned. Expect to do long runs later."
) yeah, but you have to keep the tyre drop off in mind. 2011 this consistency would have been ver impressive. The 2012 tyres are maybe much more durable.Alexgtt wrote:Senna on first of the long runs. Looks like a race sim. Very consistent times but strange as not quicker as fuel load lightens. Holding back I'd say.
First run 24 or so laps all in 25's. Quick race pit and back out and all laps in 23's. 12 laps and counting.
Funny you say that Half Italian/Greek I can poke fun at my own heritage, discriminate equally i say.Crabbia wrote:Easy there tiger, I'm of italian decent i live in South Africa and im married to a greek woman. i'm thinking if we're happily married tombazis, byrne and Ferrari will be a happy marriage too.Hail22 wrote:Alright ladies and gents, its officially 1 hour and 45 minutes until the last testing session at Jerez begins.
Any bets to hedge, who will do what? who will do nothing?
Any new parts, perhaps more rubbery components from the exploitation and *we don't cheat* experts (Do i need to make it anymore clearer who it is)
As a Ferrari fan i think our car will set on fire and will need to be extinguished as we have a Greek guy designing an Italian car, see what happens when the Greeks go broke! :/ *dry sense of humour*
