Hammi did a 4 lap stint:
1:26.360, 1:25.236, 1:28.531, 1:23.998.

I know, I know, perhaps a bad setting. But the interesting bit is the inconsistency.

The inconsistency is because he had to move over several times for all the blue flags. :lol: :lol: :lol:

there was a red flag due to blown engine, could be oil on the track.

Try the wikipedia site, they should have diagrams etc that do a better job than any forum post of mine could do. :)

Hammy just did a 1.21.0...Not quick compared to the others but they are slowly moving up, one week of tests to go remember.

well, progress for McL, but if they don't end up with a high 19 or a very low 20, I now beleive that they have a serious performance issue

Oh, they definitely have serious performance issues, but they do have next week as well to work on them. Over the last four days the whole field have closed up but these are only testing times so who knows!

It was on a two fast lap stint, so I assume it was a quali run.

Hammi's run was a quali attempt I think as well (My spanish is not the best)
