Anyone got the complete chassis numbers for each day???

So far i know that Toro Rosso used the STR5-02 for both drivers accross the 3 days and BMW Sauber used the C29-01 for both drivers accross the 3 days.

Or is that asking too much???

Compared to what some noobs ask for? No. :)

Ferrari have only used one chassis so far, obviously shared by Massa (Mon-Tue) and Alonso (Wed). The second chassis is under construction and will be used at the third test session (Jerez).

Monday (2-1-10) - 102 laps
Tuesday (2-2-10) - 125 laps
Wednesday (2-3-10) - 127 laps


F10-01: 354 laps = 1417.8km

This is from Ferrari:
Maranello, 7 February – The Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro is getting ready for this season’s second test session, on the agenda from 10 to 13 February at the Spanish Jerez de la Frontera circuit. Tomorrow morning the main part of the team will leave Maranello, including mechanics and the men working at the logistics, telemetry and electronics, while the engineers will arrive in Spain on Tuesday evening. Four days of tests are set: Fernando Alonso will start on the track the first two days, followed by Felipe Massa, who will sit behind the wheel as of Friday 12. The F10 already arrived in Jerez after the revision done last Wednesday night in Valencia. The car’s configuration will substantially remain the same compared to its debut: there will be only some mechanical updates.

Meanwhile in Maranello the work on the assembly of the F10’s second chassis goes on briskly. This single-seater will be used during the third test session, held again in Jerez, from 17 to 20 February.

The tests in Jerez take place between the 10th and 13th. Usually, gpupdate.net will have the dates of the next test, as well as pictures and times from the previous one. Also, the main page of this very site has a schedule showing you when the next test will take place.
I am not amazed by F1 cars in Monaco. I want to see them driving in the A8 highway: Variable radius corners, negative banking, and extreme narrowings that Tilke has never dreamed off. Oh, yes, and "beautiful" weather tops it all.

It seems like Mercedes is the only team alternating the drivers each day. All the other teams have their drivers testing for two days in a row.

It is certainly more convenient for the drivers to be on duty for only two days. On the other hand the alternating schedule will give more flexibility in case the test gets hit by rain and adjustments must be made to get equal driving experience for both drivers. Schu has never been shy to invest more time with testing and Nico probably follows that practise.

And Brawn has worked with Mike long enough to know he want him there for the whole session.
Mike needs to eat, drink, and sleep getting back ihto his F1 zone.
Nico can impress the hell out of me by continuing to keep his mouth shut and grow [up] a little more! :lol:

Nico is one of the best educated and intelligent chaps on the grid, he won't be doing anything stupid, or opening his mouth in a bad way.

He still has everything to prove at this level.
Actually I'm quite interested in how this sub-plot of the season
plays out.
Mercedes is the bigest mystery to me so far.

It looks like dry wheather in Jerez at the moment. At least that is what the satellite pic says. The rain probability for the day is 70%. Is someone there to give a report?
