Kimi Raikkonen topped the final day of pre-season testing before all teams are heading off to Australia for the first Grand Prix of the season. Fernando Alonso went second fastest in the morning, just like Raikkonen lapping on soft Pirelli tyres. Senna for Williams went third fastest.

Im'm not expecting Merc to bring a new front wing seeing as how they just debuted a new one. Also, I can't see a Monza wing being tested at Barca.
What I do expect though, is a competitive Ferrari. [-o<

Why do you keep coming back to this? Yes, RedBull are still blowing, as are all Renault powered teams........jeeeez. It's no where near comparable to 2011 and the Renault does generally have a quite raspy engine noise, even when fully back on the throttle.....maybe there also on-throttle blowing, damn cheaters!Hail22 wrote:I hear blowing from the Red Bull *gets FIA blowing bug spray* come at me fanboys, you know its blowing
