I think it's a public session, this is only an assumption because it would seem to bee strange to have a private session with so many teams there. It'll be interesting to see as the cars will be closer to race trim then they are now. I'll be fascinated to see where the Brawn car is, especially as I've decided to take a punt on button while the odds are still good!!mattclinch wrote:will this be public, or closed event? press, timimngs etc...bonjon1979 wrote:yep, 4 days in Jerez next week.chasefreak wrote:so it is true then that mclaren will have a another 4 more days to test

I have seen referenced the 2008 season, when both macs lapped the field on the first race. Well lets keep in mind that the very first lap that car made in testing was immediately 3 or 4 seconds faster than everyone else. Also please do not forget Barcelona is mclaren territory, they usually rule that track, especially in testing. They are now dead last in all testing sessions.
Not sure but isn't that what people at the back of the grid are called? By definition if he's at the back, Hamilton'll be a backmarker...jon-mullen wrote:Who was it Hamilton got in trouble for referring to as a backmarker in his rookie season? He may be eating his words for the first few gps this year.
