One Team (supposedly Williams) voted against that skipping Today and move the Test Day to a later Date. So much sense in needing unanimous agreement in deciding such things. :roll:

So if one Car leaves the Garage Today this will be counted as an official Test Day.

Maybe they came to an agreement to add the extra day to the next week, when the weather will be better...

Don't think they will add an extra Day. That would make to much sense for F1.

Pirelli should just round out the number of compounds and add a snow tire. :lol:

Some of the talking heads were saying part of the issue was travel plans and hotel bookings for team personnel.

If Williams did vote against moving the test day, at least they should show they're statement by going on the track today as first one out!
