Sauber seem to be a lot more laps than any other team. I wonder if they have updates for this year, or was it all related to 2013?

New front wing, as it seems, on Mclaren's car, a la Lotus:

Yah, the 3d design finally introduced. It's already being discussed in the car thread. Interesting that they ditched the r-cascade though?

As little as it means in real terms, it's nice to see Valsecchi get the headline fastest time of all. Every other GP2 champion has raced in F1 at one time or another, but I get the feeling that, without the necessary sponsorship, Valsecchi's going to really struggle to get a drive.

I have summarized all those testing efforts into one article which features a nice interactive charts, too.

For me, this test was very important for both 2013 season and for the current championship - Mclaren tested the new front wing which appear to be quite successful.
