2012 Testing - Barcelona 2: 21-24 Feb
Maldonado fastest on day 3 in Barcelona 23 Feb 2012
Pastor Maldonado recorded the fastest time on the penultimate testing day of the current 4-day session at Barcelona. The session was dominated by 4 red flags and was eventually cut short 3 minutes earlier than planned because Felipe Massa came to a halt in the pitlane.

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.
If someone said to me that you can have three wishes, my first would have been to get into racing, my second to be in Formula 1, my third to drive for Ferrari.

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

Thx !
Still good to see them do the runs without issues so far.
Although not surprising given the fact they are running last years car.
Countdown to Monaco 2012...Ill be there!

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

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.

I don't think anyone except Riccardo has used any thing softer than mediums. Except maybe the slower teams
Those who believe in telekinetics raise my hand
