I think the first line shows the overall best sector times, probably those of Hamilton.

That would be 29,919s for S1 (29,416 for Rosberg in 2013), 40,766s in S2 (39,847 Rosberg) and 94,263-29,919-40,766 = 23,578s for S3 (22,987 Rosberg), if i assume that all three best sector times belong to Hamiltons best lap.
The top speed of 243,2 at S1 is a bit higher than the 240,3km/h of Alonso and Massa during the 2013 qualifying.
Dear FIA, if you read this, please pm me for a redesign of the Technical Regulations to avoid finger nose shapes for 2016! :-)

It was on the news ticker on Sky News - still not seeing it anywhere else though, and not seen it repeated. So probably wrong - or I need better glasses.

Edit: OK, reading comprehension fail. Sorry.

Nice peace from AMuS about the topspeeds, translated by google form German to English.
Irvine:"If you don't have a good car you can't win it, unless you are Michael or Senna. Lots of guys won in Adrian Newey's cars, big deal. Adrian is the real genius out there, there is Senna, there is Michael and there is Newey.They were the three great talents."

Fernando Alonso flew 336.4 km / h through the light barrier. 22.2 km / h faster than last year. Partial prevailed on the final straight headwind. Nico Rosberg confirms what the measurements revealed: "We are incredibly fast on the straights I guess that we come in Monza on 360 km / h..

Wow we will see some very high speeds next year.

At some 300km/h faster than the speed of light, we're going to have some live timing issues.

We are not yet sure whether the teams adhered to the 100kg/h of fuel flow rate limit. Most likely NOT. As a result, in actual races, their speeds will not be as high.

Why would they go above, of course they won't go above the fuel limit. They is no point of going above the limit because then the data you collected is almost use less. Also you would put more stress on the engine and the engine is not designed for higher loads. Give some credible sources to back up you claim please!

This is testing, and teams want to explore areas outside the envelope to learn what happens there. Just look at all the aero sensors contraptions they were running, which are also illegal in actual competition. They must still figure out gear ratios, fuel consumption and not having a stupid fuel restrictor cutting in is helpful.

Besides, they want to run their engines hard to see their wear under bending loads in the chassis. These engines will have to last 2600 km, which represents 480 laps at Bahrain, which is impossible to accumulate in 4 days testing.
