Bahrain/Barcelona and Valencia Tests

Anybody know who will be where?

Valencia is 19th -21st

Bahrain is 22nd-24th Then 27th-28th

Barcelona is 27th-1st March

The last test sessions of 2007, the ones where performance probably will be representative of pace come Melbourne.

It would be nice to have the testing discussion take place here too for these, because we have been talking about test results etc in a few threads. For the last ones.

I persume the clever teams will go Bahrain, there they will experience climate similar to that they will in the fly-away races.

As testing kicked-off at Bahrain, Felipe Massa clocked the fastest time today and was followed by team mate Kimi Raikkonen. Honda's Jenson Button completed the top three. Testing will continue tomorrow at Sahkir.

Confused about Ants time tho :S

Looks like Toyota and Red Bull have problems, Ferrari, Honda, Mclaren and BMW instead of Renault are the pace setters.

@ chet -- I think Ant's lap time on there is a typo - Autosport website shows his time as 1.32.996 - Which does put him in 10th.

Here's a little extra info from Autosport on todays test:

Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen topped the timesheets on the first day of testing at Bahrain on Thursday.

The Ferrari pair were separated by less than two tenths of a second, although Massa completed nearly double the amount of laps of his new teammate.

Jenson Button was an encouraging third quickest for Honda, although he did lose time in the morning when his car stopped on track with throttle problems.

Lewis Hamilton followed his countryman with the fourth quickest time, while Button's teammate Rubens Barrichello was fifth quickest with his best time from the morning session.

Pedro de la Rosa was next up for McLaren, while Sebastian Vettel was the first of the BMW drivers with the seventh best lap.

Jarno Trulli was eighth quickest for Toyota ahead of Nick Heidfeld, who stopped on track in the morning. However, the German was unsure of the cause of his problem.

Anthony Davidson was 10th fastest for Super Aguri, while Heikki Kovalainen was the top Renault driver after he completed the most laps of anyone during the day and set the 11th best time.

yay jb third :P

super aguris davidson in 1.32.3.. thats wrong? otherwise he would have been faster than RB whose fith

good times for ferrari...anyone know if they tested any new components?
where the.... did those Honda come from.... Winter sleep?

yes Ferrari did at least test new suspensions and lot's of other things too ...but every team had new components.

@ chet and now Khalid -- I think Ant's lap time on there is a typo - Autosport website shows his time as 1.32.996 - Which does put him in 10th.

Im sure Ant will do well this season... it will be close between him and Sato.
