great pic comments =p

cool mirrors in aguri.. been there before?

Kimi, so, Massa Fernando Sebastian is faster than you. Can you confirm you understood that message?

Great work there mate, got some good vantage points for those pics.

Quintarelli is an Italian who was Japanese F3 champion a couple of years ago and is now in Formula Nippon.

The guy only did a few laps, in the midland livered car. He is to do a demostration at some event, and the deal was done before the Spyker sale, hence the midland livery. The car will apparntly be resprayed in time for the China Gp.

if you're joking Rocker, the car was still in the old Midland livery, but will be resprayed to the new Spyker livery in time for the next race.

I making a joke about the game GTA (Grand Thief Auto), it was a bad joke I confess...

Considering as GTA wasn't part of the conservation, it was an exceedingly crap joke, since probably no one got wtf you were piping on about.

Full marks from randomness though.

looks like only Albers got the full paint job- the others still seem to have Midland front wings with their Spyker cars.

damn those are some amazing angles, fantastic shots!

---

Yeah, I noticed the red front wing a few times... but I think that was an old wing... because they plonked on an orange one later.

Plus Ronnie shook down a Midland liveried car, because Midland had arrangend for him to do a demostration in a Midland car. All that was organised before the sale of the team to Spyker, hence it being done in Midland colours.

oh rly?

just a quick question. There is an agreement this year about test days. However how does this wwork..ist it test days per car or just day the team goes testing? because obviously a team could just run 3 cars on one day. Also does it really make sense for renault to be using crucial test days to try out nelsinho piquet when they could just wait til the off season?
