2012 Testing - Jerez 7-10 February

[JohnsonsEvilTwin]

I'm going by my twitter feed.

Apparently the car is twitchy. Those times you mentioned may have been mid to lower fuel runs. The throttle and braking behaviour was not savoury in any of their runs.
I will need to see video before being certain...

Had ferrari done any long runs yet? Are they struggling with something?

This gives you good info:

They've done a 6-7 lap run.

Why does my Avira anti-virus software block this site on my PC?
Says that contains malware...

Raikkonen off the track

I think your Avira is trolling you

[raymondu999]

McLaren appear to be holding back, not going for times... Just info gathering.

Seems to be a pattern of theirs of late. Testing is focused on constantly harvesting data to feed the CFD, wind tunnel, and simulator response curves.

Raikkonen fastest in sector 3...the telling sector!

Lotus seem to have a good car. A very good car.

Could be but I'm not having any issues with it and my anti-malware software has been quiet.

MSC with a 1.18.622. Shame really that I cant compare. It's useless debating how much they loose relative to the others. W03 will be a whole different beast. Cant wait till Feb 21st for Barca test to see where they truly stand

[Mr.S]

MSC follows that with a 1.19.159

Oh, okay. I'm also hearing that the FI is not fantabulous in traction out of slow corners, but it's still a good base car.

Btw, who have you got in your twitter feed?

You can't say lotus have a very good car. We don't know about the fuel load, about DRS.

Button and Massa could go 3 tenths faster in this S3 alone, we don't know yet ATM

[Mr.S]

I dont buy Lotus having a fast car. I thought Sector 2 had the most fast turns & that was the DIfference maker where RBR will do well.

Lotus' long runs were pretty average. I still think its an average car.

Force India my dark horse for 2012 seem to be doing well. Bianchi with a 1.20.221 now. Had a lot of 1.22's & 1.21's in the morning.

And a 1.20.829 from Bianchi to back that up

[JohnsonsEvilTwin]

Wow all kicking off at Jerez.

Schumacher does 1:18.6 0.5 seconds quicker than webber.
Apparently Schumacher says he "really likes 2012 spec tyres".

Bianchi does 1:20.1 force india looking tasty.
