Winter Testing 2013 - Barcelona

Woohoo! Passes arrived today for the Pis Box (lmao at the name and open drinks bar)

Getting well excited now :D


Jenson drives it like he owns it; Lewis drives it like he stole it

sounds like a toilet pass.

(not at all jealous!)

_______________________________________________________________________

Have fun! I'm sure no-one cares compared to this amazing access but I'll also be at the final three days of this test, and the FOTA forum on Wednesday night.

Have a nice trip, and post your observations here first

It's only after we've lost everything, that we are free to do anything.

I'll be taking my laptop/video cam/camera so hopefully can share loads of pics with you guys.

Need to ask the gp4 guys if they need any specific track texture photos to help with 2013 mods.

I'm not working on any updates, but I'm sure they'd appreciate any photos.

Try and get some photos at the afterparty in particular, without ruining the enjoyment, they'll be the good ones! Just watch out for Sutil!

Heikki will drive saturday if rumours are correct...and seat fitting today

If you read this Dan and know any of the wifi passwords at the track, it would be very handy if you could PM one to me so i can pick it up in the grandstand! Haha

Lmfao Linus pissed from last night, lotus covering up by sending valsecchi bahaha

Ed mate! I can get u a paddock pisos pass for tomorrow or Mon for 250 quid or less, long shot I know, but reply here if interestsed, bloke here needs to sell his passes!

Is it still available? I would be tempted particularly if price was down a little. But at the same time not 100% sure as this week has already blown out a bit in terms of cost.

I am not sitting in one place, I've been to every corner on both days so far.

EDIT: Don't think I can justify spending that amount, think it would be better to put it towards a British GP trip or something like that for 2013.

Damn mate, he sold for 125 quid each ticket, that's with open champagne bar, lunch, box above McLaren and paddock pass.

Weirder yet, the bloke turned out to own the shed and fence company 100 metres down the road from me, and fitted my dads garden out last weekend. Crazy!

Haha small world! Anyway, thanks for offering, sorry I couldn't help out!

just to switch the topic a little.

is it just me or has rosberg destroyed hamilton over the winter testing ? I cant recall a test at which hamilton was at least as fast as nico.

I will upload the best ones here later, but if anyone's interested in a more comprehensive list of my photos from testing, see here;

And here's a video of Red Bull/McLaren/Ferrari/Lotus through Campsa earlier

Not a totally relevant comparison in all honestly. Different days, parts, settings, conditions etc. But in many ways this is a year which could break Rosberg, if Hamilton thrashes him then you'd have ask how much longer he can remain in F1. So he needs to up his game to show that he can mix it with the best.
