On the fifth day of testing at Jerez de la Frontera, Williams F1 Team driver Kazuki Nakajima was the fastest man on track with a lap time of 1:17.494. McLaren's Heikki Kovalainen clocked a fastest lap of 1:17.933.
McLaren decided to run Mon-Thurs instead of Sun-Wedvyselegend wrote:Bad news for Renault...
And it's worrying for Mac Laren, now every websites report they certainly won't run this afternoon too. My guess is that they have logistical problems, they're probably waiting for some pieces to come from Woking. Maybe the new rear wing / diffusor combo...
I don't see any other explaination, as the track is ideal today, with a very good weather too.
It seems Williams have planned to test up to thursday (included)! One day more than Mc Laren, and two more than Renault and Honda. They're the most daring ones in terms of logistics!
Because they already used all their testing days. They were 2 weeks in Bahrain.Rikhart wrote:Im trying hard, but I cannot understand why arent all teams using this last test (Im mainly thinking Ferrari here). This is just throwing away valuable testing time, they could test setups for different tracks, or whatnot. I know they arent even close to the testing mileage limit...

This was my understanding, as well.ISLAMATRON wrote:Even with the sandstorms? IS there a hard cunt on that somewhere? I thought they got 15k Km and a certain number of tires, not a set number of days.
I hope you understood count and not cunt, my bad on the spelling mistake.Rikhart wrote:This was my understanding, as well.ISLAMATRON wrote:Even with the sandstorms? IS there a hard cunt on that somewhere? I thought they got 15k Km and a certain number of tires, not a set number of days.
Nice find!mistrx wrote:hello everyone. I've been reading this forum for couple of months and I have to say this is probably the best F1 forum on the net. No insults and great technical insight from people very close to F1 paddock!
Today I decided to register and make my first comment, so here I am. I'm not an engineer so my comments can't be so sophisticated as yours

have a look at picture n. 4 and 5. birdcage being used measuring the flow from diffuser apparently. and am I the only one who sees that the floor is again uncut (n. 4)??
EDIT: less cut
I'd say that was definitly the case... It looks like that's the major concept that didn't work as expected. It fits also with the flo-vis work, and the flow measuring device. That bird cage thing looks mad as cheese.timbo wrote: Nice find!
I think the floor is cut but in a different place - slightly closer to front.
Sorry - answering my own question - I am hallucinating. Just a trick of the perspective.Tbox wrote: Also am I hallucinating - or is that a central mirror in picture 3?! Also, they seem to going in the same direction as brawn with the front wing end plates....
Hehe, I see what you mean. I think its just the angle of the picture.Tbox wrote:timbo wrote:Also am I hallucinating - or is that a central mirror in picture 3?!
