F1 2016 pre-season testing

[Sniffit]

Does anyone know what engine Sauber will run? I imagine that Ferrari would want as much data as possible, but would it even be possible to mount in the C34?

I wondered that too. It would also give Sauber themselves more useful data from this test if they can try something they'll actually use in 2016. Otherwise it's just a tyre test for them.

Yes it would seem a bit like a waste, even though they might add on a few new bits and pieces.
If they run the 2016 PU it would provide an interesting benchmark.

What is that raised bubble on the McLaren Honda nose?

It measures the flexing of the Front Wing.

There's this one as well where you can see the number of laps and whether the cars are in or out of the pits all the time http://www.f1today.net/en/live/f1/20903 ... -barcelona

Is this working? mine shows "NO TEST SESSION"

Yeah, I can get to the timing screen (see last post on page 2 of this thread). But it's not updating the times. I have to navigate away from the Results and Standings section, then back, to get the screen to update.

So, now we have see almost every newcar (only Sauber to see), my opinion:

Best looking:
1-STR11, (Torro Rosso) even without livery!
2-W07 (Mercedes)
3-MP4-31 (Mclaren)
4-RB12 (Red Bull)
5-SF-16H (Ferrari)
6-VF-16 (Haas)
7-RS-16 (Renault)
8-FW-38 (Williams)
9-VJM-09 (Force India)
10-MRT05 (Manor)
11-Sauber... TBA

Any bets on first car to cause a red flag, and first driver to cause a red flag?

Honda (come on, we're all thinking it), and I think it's a toss-up between Celis and Sainz.

You say that, but I think for most of testing last year they actually caused zero red flags, of course, they also did the littlest running and had a tendency to break-down in the Pit Garage
