That translater kicks @ss! From what I can tell the Ferrari and Mclaren are are on relatively even terms on long stints.
Tires may be another factor however!

Is it just me or that Mercedes is not the full 2010 spec? Diffuser and wings seem somewhat outdated, compared to last other teams

How they finished

Circuit status: Air temperature: 12 ° C
Track temperature: 23 ° C
Test times Updated: 17:04
driver team Drive time difference #
1. F. Massa Ferrari F10 1:11.722 124 pit
2. K. Kobayashi Sauber C29 1:12.056 +0,334 96 pit
3. L. Hamilton McLaren MP4-25 1:12.256 +0,534 108 pit
4. R. Kubica Renault R30 1:12.426 +0,704 119 pit
5. N. Rosberg Mercedes GP W01 1:12.899 +1,177 119 pit

7. S. Buemi Toro Rosso STR5 1:13.849 +2,127 107 pit

Apparently Robert Kubica causeda red flag in the last hour of the session. Massa fastest with the most laps.

The livery makes the helmet look really cool. Otherwise it would look really out of place. This is petrov or Ho pin Tun?
For Sure!!

Neither. It was Kubica trying on a plain CF Bell helmet.

Ross has said that he doesn't think this is a good track for testing. So I suspect they are using this for reliability testing etc., and won't show the new stuff until the later tests.

Moreover, Mercedes was involved in the development of "the dead zone", why they play a wait and see game with McL.
