F1 2016 pre-season testing

[Jolle]

Why Ferrari test it so early?

FIA has required Ferrari to check it.

It looks awful, really. And as I driver I wouldnt like to drive with this thing.

As for driver(s) who lost colleagues and friends due to being hit by debris, I think they would like to drive with this.

About halo, how is affecting driver's visibility helping safety ? They'll cope and adjust but doesn't it affect reaction times (measurably not subjectively) especially in close/random situation? Looks like another variable for senses and a brain. Did they explain this part somewhere?

[Gerhardsa]

Exatly. Might as well make peace with it Vas....That Halo is here to stay...

They are testing different set ups, don't be paranoid

1m23.009s for RAI on Soft.
He's now fastest on softs (ROS's best was 0.013 s slower, I think).

Expect to see a soft tyre run from Kimi today, given it's his last day. Should be interesting- I expect low 23s.

"10:48 Raikkonen sets a new fastest time of the day - 1m23.009s on soft tyres."

You're welcome

Yes, and Vettel 0.199s faster with US...
it's really a good time for Kimi...

Qualy simulation ?

[Silent Storm]

That was his 3rd lap on those soft tyres!!

He did 2 fast laps and went in and came back went even quicker.

[Zynerji]

So what is the problem with Kimi today? the man is like a magnet for attracting bad luck and car issues. I am sure there is something going on. Only 8 laps so far.

This has been the story of Kimi's career! Even my wife thinks he has the Gremlins Touch, as she calls it!

According to the AMuS Liveticker McLaren Honda lowered the Power of the PU for the morning Session to test a few things on the Engine. So don't expect any superfast Laps. They are heavily testing Aero and Tires at the Moment.

Kimi with ultra-softs a 1:22.765. That's the fastest time all winter till now

I was not implying that should not use a protection system, I say that aesthetically is terrible and I dont know how it can affect driver´s vision. I clearly prefer Mercedes´s third option.

no bad, i'm suprised to see 1.22.765 with US and 1.23.009 on S.
only 0.300s ?
