Nico Rosberg ended the Austrian in-season F1 test as the fastest man, setting the fastest lap in what became a very productive day for all runners present.
But why testing stuff you can´t use on race day? For me this is a waste of time.BanMeToo wrote:No but... legality doesn't really matter during a test unless it's safety related.
Think he finds the testing quite a chore. Overall it shouldn't affect anything, I mean Rosberg managed a lot more mileage in pre-season testing last year, but Hamilton still emerged champion. As long as he negotiates to go back to that old clutch pedal then he's ready for Silverstone.Vasconia wrote:Well, at least the Mclaren is running without problems.
I dont understand why Hamilton has choosed again not take part.
If your wind tunnel or CFD says that your airflow is wrong in this particular point, you can use the illegal piece to fix the flow directly and see what sort of real life improvement is likely to be there. Then, if the benefit is large, you can think of how to fix it indirectly in a legal way with a little vortex generator 1 meter upstream which is likely to mess something else up. But you only go there after you have measured that the benefits are real, and this little illegal part helps with that.matt21 wrote:But why testing stuff you can´t use on race day?

I thik I will check the rulebook if there´s a loophole somewhere.
Indeed, Hamilton doesn't like testing and has no problem with it to share his car with Wehrlein.J0rd4n wrote:Think he finds the testing quite a chore.
