2015 Pre-season Testing

[Lorenzo_Bandini]

Sauber with Nasr did 1.24.0 with the soft IIRC...

And Williams and Ferrari 1.23.2 with super soft.. There is a gap of 1 second between the two compound, so if Nasr time was with the soft tyres, it would mean Sauber is as fast as Williams and Ferrari ?

There is many choices :

- Sauber in Ferrari, WIlliams league ( imho NO WAY )

- SS could be only a tad faster than Soft, ( less than one second )

- Williams and Ferrari were on SS but with a good amount of fuel, while Sauber was on very low fuel ( i think this is the case )

1. WIlliams/Ferrari also were on softs, why ignore that?
2. Forget Nasr from yesterday, Ericsson just run on SS - 1,2 slower than Massa/Raik. Maybe he had more fuel Plot thickens.

Red Bull hasn't shown anything yet and complaining about engine is not a good indication. Camouflage brand and budget and few would bet on this car based on tests but that's a normal adjustment. At least they have the best possible pair of drivers in case the car is not the best.

Williams and Ferrari were on Super Soft, not soft.

Ferrari on race sim
14:42 - And with that Raikkonen pits. His opening stint on mediums: Out lap 2:01.4, 1:30.6, 1:30.6, 1:30.2, 1:30.3, 1:30.4, 1:30.7, 1:30.7, 1:30.7, 1:30.7, 1:31.0, 1:31.0, 1:31.2, 1:31.1, 1:31.4, 1:31.4, 1:32.0, 1:31.8, 1:31.8, 1:32.0, 1:32.3, in lap 1:35.1

14:44 - Looks like Raikkonen has switch to hard tyres for the next stint, so he should be able to to the 66-lap race distance in two stops

[ollandos]

the pace is
1.31 medium 1st
1.30 hard 2st

not so good .....

[Lorenzo_Bandini]

15:12 - Raikkonen is now running the unmarked tyre, which is likely to be the prototype medium from Pirelli. Makes things a bit harder to compare but he's likely to stop again now. 43 laps in to his race

15:07 - The Ferrari pits for a second time. The second stint on hards: Out lap 1:51.5, 1:29.5, 1:29.7, 1:29.9, 1:29.3, 1:30.0, 1:30.4, 1:29.4, 1:30.2, 1:30.9, 1:30.7, 1:30.8, 1:30.8, 1:31.1, 1:31.0, 1:32.5, in lap 1:34.5

15:02 - Comparing Hulkenberg's opening stint on the mediums to Raikkonen's and the Force India is over a second per lap slower at this stage

14:58 - Raikkonen is running in the 1m30s - not a million miles from the pace of the Sauber in its final stint on hards over the previous two days

McLaren appear to be in trouble again. Their car was leaking fluids after a short run after lunch.

Reports that suggested "no more reliability problems" were obviously bull*hit and nonsense.

I`m not a sexist and I don`t have anything against her but this is simply hilarious :
https://twitter.com/CarmenJorda/status/ ... 3662963713 One of the loudest critics was Jorda's former GP3 teammate Rob Cregan. https://twitter.com/robcregan/status/570965300176269312 Replying to the news she had been added to the Lotus stable, Stanaway tweeted simply, "LOL."

Mitch Evans, the 2012 GP3 champion and a race winner in GP2 (the series directly below F1), tweeted directly at Lotus to remind the team that "it's not April 1st yet."
