F1 2016 pre-season testing

[i70q7m7ghw]

I think McLaren are just keep expectations to an absolutely minimum. Last season the were raving about winning races and look how that turned out.

I don't get why this little battle on ultrasofts, but it is ok... a pinch of pepper.
Ferrari by the way seems ok, they overturned the car from last year!

They have to at least test them at some point, no?

[Cenzo]

Yes of course they have to test these tyres.. but doing almost at the same time ?
Maybe they were a little bored ? I don't know... by the way looking at ultrasofts after use it's like looking at chewing gum....

Ah... F1 is back bringing with it renewed hopes and dreams for the fans during pre-season testing. Only for them to be utterly dashed in Melbourne.

Hello everyone, this is my first post here.
For those who are interested here is a live video stream of testing : https://www.periscope.tv/publogic/1ZkJzzkPmbwJv the quality is pretty low but it's better than nothing

Lap Count at Lunch Break:

Rosberg (81), Alonso (70), Verstappen (59), Ricciardo (58), Bottas (54), Ericsson (49), Perez (48), Vettel (45), Palmer (41), Wehrlein (36), Gutierrez (31)

Scary to see Alonso up there.

more scary would be to be able to read ALO's mind atm.

With almost 90 laps done, I think that what is thinking right now is much better than during last season pre-tests.

Vettel's stint on super softs from AMUS, at 15:05 (german time).

"15:05 Vettel kommt wieder rein. Sein letzter Stint auf Supersofts: Outlap - 1:28.7 - 1:29.3 - 1:30.4 - 1:30.6 - 1:31.2 - 1:31.6 - Box."

It's only the 2nd day, but over the remaining days we might start to see a trend as for who prefers which tyres. Teams have already submitted their tyre request for the first races to the FIA/Pirelli, so it's likely they focus on testing their prefered tyres.

100 laps for McLaren and Alonso

[KingHamilton01]
