Formula One tyre supplier Pirelli have said that the final day of testing at Jerez will be used for wet tyre testing after the track is artificially watered. The company also developed a special tyre for this test, specifically for the colder conditions.

Thanx.....yeah even though is softs....I don't believe any of the teams are pushing to the max potential....so that lap was very good...and looks like there is some pace in the Ferrari....but its all relative and not getting to excited....its just nice to see some pace... =D>kris wrote:soft says autosportStrikeForceF1 wrote:Good Lap from Massa......1:17:879......
And they could use DRS as much as they could, so quite a bit of progress from the teams.FrukostScones wrote:the best we had last year in Jerez with a 2012 car was 1:18.419

Leave him alone, he knows what he's doing.Rikhart wrote:What the heck is Raikkonen doing, wasting time? 2 hours in not a single timed lap.
This is testing.11:06 Word from Lotus is that there's nothing to be alarmed about by Raikkonen's lack of action - the team is just making small tweaks to get the Finn settled in the E21.

i find it a strange that teams like Mercedes and Mclaren ran only 15 odd and 37 odd laps on day one of the test while other teams ran as much as 70 laps on the same day...that's a difference of almost a race distance in a day..!kris wrote:I believe testing limitaitons.. 1 car.. 1 teamPsychdbyF1 wrote:how come all teams are running only one driver on a given day? I remember how Michael schumacher once had the spare car (the 3rd car) set up differently for different weather conditions and he switched cars at one point.
Also, how come for one driver there is only one car? I understand different drivers have different set up requirments and preferences, but for base line running, could Nico not have used Lewis' car on Day 1 and similarly after the brake failure, could Lewis not have used Nico's car for the low speed aero runs he is doing today?
similarly, why would massa need to wait in the pits while his exhuast configurations were changed?
or is that there is only one pit crew for both teams? confused!
all because of this limitation? if it exists? teams seem to want more testing (atleast some of them) and can they not optimise testing better if they don't have such limitations? or would it be a cost-race again?Mercedes only ran so few laps on days 1 and 2 because of 1) an electrical failure and fire 2) a brake failure causing hamilton to crash the car.PsychdbyF1 wrote:i find it a strange that teams like Mercedes and Mclaren ran only 15 odd and 37 odd laps on day one of the test while other teams ran as much as 70 laps on the same day...kris wrote:I believe testing limitaitons.. 1 car.. 1 teamPsychdbyF1 wrote:how come all teams are running only one driver on a given day?
