2014 Testing - Bahrain 27 Feb - 2 Mar

[Vanja #66]

That's why I'm asking... Thank you...

According to Mercedes they changed the engine as a precautionary measure after 3000km. Not bad. Should be more than enough mileage for 5 races.

What's going on at red bull again? Over two hours into the test and not even an instalation lap. Are they fixing, changing something on the car?

[NTS]

Autosport.com reported they are expected to show up at 11:00 local time. Indeed fixing something, but no one knows what.

Marko told AMuS that new parts are being fitted to the car. Vettel goes out on track just now.

German press, opinionated as usual.

And as he reaches the 2nd sector... Red Flag.

Updated graphs now with Vettel's 2013 race and the 2014 testing sims of Rosberg, Bottas and Magnussen.

The fastest 47 laps stats:
Vettel 1:18:05,6h
Rosberg 1:18:53,2
Bottas 1:19:18,5

Used tyres:
Vettel(2013) M H H H
Rosberg(2014) S S M
Bottas(2014) S M M
Magnussen(2014) H M S

Thanks for that
Now, we don't know if Rosberg's 4th sting of last week (after the red flag) was started on fresh mediums or not. If this is the case, you'd have to add 21 sec to their total time to compare with Bottas' race sim of Thursday, and that would reduce the gap to only 5 seconds ... Interesting !

Anyone got the laptimes from Alonso's race sim yesterday ? I didn't check AMuS' ticker yesterday so I don't know if they provided it.

it would be great if someone can share ferrari's race simulation details. i read somewhere tht ferrari's race simulation caught competition's eye and was pretty good but did not manage to see any details on it. laptimes may help in determining efficiency of PU over race trim.

Plan B?

[stuartpengs]

Red Bull breaks down in the pit lane, second break down of the day for them. Apparently the delay before going out was "fitting new parts". I suspect they were fitting a tow hitch to the nose.

The race sim was very poor. Perez' was faster.



Above are the lap times from the last 2 stints. Alo's is the 3rd column from the left.
