Big drop in performance over the last longer run. Definatelly worse than Ferrari's.

Tyre wear problems?

generally didn't see a problem with tyre wear today ..
maybe for the stint you mind, they have run with used
tires or with a bad setup choice

[gary123]

what type of tyres used perez in the last stint...Hard??

[snorri788]

Why were there so many laps today? Problems? Or was it down to the particular test program?

Hoping there's not any problems ala MP4-24.

gary123@ The last info from AS was at 16.15 that he was on medium.

any idea why the sidepod flow conditioner doesnt wrap all the way around like it did last year? could it be something to do with the crease on the top outside edge/front of the sidepod(intake)

Using the tip for vortex generation down the edge of the sidepods perhaps?

The front-wing looks so simple in plan-view compared to most rivals. Not that it's a value judgement.

I think you are on to something, I've heard that the latest front wing to have is a 5, that's right, count em 5 element front wing. Supposedly mclaren have a new front wing coming for the next test so we'll have to see.

@scarlet: think you could be right, there are afew cars out there who have a similar conditioner, maybe that's the preferred solution
