The first winter test session at Bahrain allowed teams to get some valuable tyre data from the new 2014 range of Pirelli tyres. A number of teams were able to complete race simulations, as well as qualifying and pit stop practice, assessing every aspect of tyre usage.

I dont think we could had that luxury like in Europe. I bet that there are just couple hundreds (included FOTO and stuff people) spectators nothing more. So odds are pretty low... 
We can only make very very rough assumptions on that so far. What we do know is the simple physics. Let's assume most of the time is lost in the power-limited parts of the track (i.e. where you can confidently be full throttle). Let's make another big assumption that acceleration is constant. Then we can say for that straight:atanatizante wrote:I dunno if it`s the best thread to talk about this matter but it`s the following reasoning right to take into account? :
2013 : with a 641kg min. allowed car, then for 10kg of fuel (not 10 litres, coz density is lower than 1) worth it on average 0,35 sec/lap
2014 : with a 691kg min. allowed car, hence a 7,8% increase, therefore for a 10kg of fuel the time loss will be on average 0,377 sec/lap
First of all they all end with nearly empty tanks so in lap 50 there is no more advantage. So let's make it 9.425s. Second, you will have only 90% of the energy to spend during the race which means basically you will be at 90% power (again very simply put). Taking 90kg when 100 is allowed will NEVER work.So the influence of fuel on board is also increased and we could see this year some fuel management scenarios like 90kg of fuel from start to finish and this could worth in a 50 lap race a woooping 18,85 sec. gain at the end of the race …

Its an Oil leak according to AMUSNTS wrote:Still red flagged, maybe something wrong with the track? Or oil-leak for Hamilton that now has to be cleaned?
Mercedes hat sich endlich zu einem Statement durchgerungen. Teamchef Paddy Lowe berichtet, dass Rosberg mit einem Motorproblem stehenblieb. Was soll die Geheimnistuerei? Wer von der Konkurrenz würde profitieren, wenn man genau wüsste, was los war?

This is car is a time bomb it seems, just waiting to go off.As Vettel pits after a slow first sector and a personal best second sector, here's a picture clearly showing what Red Bull's primary concern was when he returned from an earlier run, with two fire extinguishers on call at the rear of the car.
