Yes, but you say they're not "gunning" Sectors 1 and 3. So how would you know that then?

[JohnsonsEvilTwin]

Force india and Torro Rosso duking it out for lead.

Seems they both have decent cars, according to trackside observers.

Marussia is doing some healthy long runs .
Already 61 laps and Pic is on track again.

Nice to see no technical issues .. just steady runs and get milage in that car.

Anyone know how many laps/miles they did in Jerez ?

Marussia/Virgin was not at Jerez it was HRT and they only did two days.

Ah , that's prolly why I could not find lap info from Jerez
Thx !

Still good to see them do the runs without issues so far.

Sorry Im just assuming they are goin fast ONLY on sector two because they didnt post times from 11.47 to 12.15.Since they ARE on track, vettel is surely trying something on one of the sectors... ok now he's completing full laps...

I wish i had sector timings here

Although not surprising given the fact they are running last years car.

doing the same like MercAMG and get Tier-data in . Testing the new pirellis on a car they know seems rationale

[thestig84]

Yeah that probably has something to do with it but as they said and demonstrated by Pic doing 3/4 days they are giving the rookie lots of mileage to get him up to speed

Do lotus and Caterham have problems ?
only 7 laps for lotus and 9 for Caterham ...

Looks like a morning-session wasted to me

[Lorenzo_Bandini]

1.23.3 Vettel, with medium

[Mr.S]

Can someone tell me if MSC used Soft tyres or not??

BTW the track is very cold & this is the 1st day of running. During a race weekend you have 3 Practise Sessions. The track will get more grippier & quicker. I think Low 1-21's can be a very capable time.

I dont think the NEW soft tyre will more than 0.5s quicker. EBD LOSS would be 1-1.5s & By Barcelona with more fine tuning & upgrades,I expect all cars to gain a few tenths.

Hulk's Low 1-23 is very quick. With hards,upgrades & more fine tuning F1 can touch low 1-22.Maybe even high 1-21. I see them as a SERIOUS challenger this year.

Kov stopped out on track early on. Like you say morning lost

[Mr Alcatraz]

I don't think anyone except Riccardo has used any thing softer than mediums. Except maybe the slower teams

[ParanoiD]

what happen to lotus? 7 laps only so far.. couldn't find any info from twitter nor forums

*concern Kimi fan
