33:1 for red bull to win the constructors. Must be worth a ten quid bet.

I nearly blew my load when I saw that but still we dont really know where Macca is (they where testing 2010 tyres) and who knows what fuel loads everyone was running.

Even so I suspect that all the fast times were at the end of long runs so still bode well.

Btw, how funny is it that the VJM02 was faster out of the box than the Renault! :lol:
Are we racing or testing ? :wtf:

Day 2 of Jerez - WET

Jerez - 02/03/2009
1 . T. Glock - Toyota TF109 - 1:30.979 (+ 0.000 ) - 89 laps
2 . R. Kubica - BMW Sauber F1.09 - 1:31.327 (+ 0.348 ) - 70 laps
3 . N. Rosberg - Williams Toyota FW31 - 1:31.451 (+ 0.472 ) - 114 laps
4 . G. Fisichella - Force India Mercedes VJM02 - 1:31.547 (+ 0.568 ) - 54 laps
5 . S. Vettel - Red Bull Renault RB5 - 1:32.220 (+ 1.241 ) - 102 laps
6 . H. Kovalainen - McLaren Mercedes MP4-24 - 1:33.371 (+ 2.392 ) - 91 laps
7 . N. Piquet - Renault R29 - 1:33.476 (+ 2.497 ) - 66 laps
8 . F. Massa - Ferrari F60 - No Time (+ N/A ) - 0 laps.

Oh look Piquet is last of the runners. I'm surprised more didn't save their laps today like Ferrari.

What the hell is on the top of the cockpit? Is that the world's largest Steering wheel? :)

They do have a limited number of testing tires I believe... but they would have plenty wet tires anyway so why not run today?

Maybe because Ferrari is scared of running KERS in the rain. :lol: It could also be because they had new parts to test and testing them in the rain doesn't give them any usefull feedback. Also limited new parts which could get them in trouble if they get broke.

Must be the world's largest plug. Has to do with KERS.
