2013 Testing - Jerez 5-8 Feb

[kris]

The jerez test live timings site is saying Vettel did a 1:06:493 lap. How is that even possible?

It the same on both f1tests and autsport sites..

[Mr.G]

Do anyone have more info about this Vettel's time? It looks like some error or he shortened the track.

1:06.493 (6)

[MarkedOne8]

That is glitch/bug/error. Don't worry.

Clarification from autosport

09:09 Apologies for the madness on the timing box. We can assure you Vettel has not gone 13 seconds quicker than anyone else. The RB9 isn't THAT good!

[Maelstrom]

Well.. if it isn't a glitch the season will be very predictable.

[Mr.G]

Yes, that was obvious he's not so quick, I was just wondering if there is some info what caouse this error.

Looks like that little button Vettel presses on his wheel to find half a second over everyone in qualifying might have a bug ¬_¬

Are you serious? Do you know what the F1 even is? Do you really believe that modern F1 car can drive better than 1:14 in Jerez which would be 8 seconds slower than your beliefs for Vettel?!

[Maelstrom]

Heh... I bet that just because it was Vettel and RBR9 some of us must have held their breath for a second or two before realizing it was a glitch.

I was employing sarcasm... look it up.

Hi Guys. Isn't there a mistake with the timings.......vet with a 1:06:493.......that sounds too good to be true

They're just tuning their "automatically find half a second in Q3" button.

Its a bit aggressively tuned right now, but it should be more believable by the time we get to Australia.

Yes, it is a mistake. Just read 2 posts above. Rosberg is still the fastest for now.

Immediately after that lap Helmut was heard saying to Ricciardo and vergne, "You need to beat that to get into RBR"
Not sure what Mark is thinking [-o< [-o< [-o<
