2010 Testing Thread

It looks like Fauzy is without power steering today, so that won't help his pace.

There are plenty of examples(including your behaviour in this thread) but I'm not prepared to post the others here since it's not relevant to the topic. Keep digging this hole for yourself long enough and other users will get as tired of your childish stupidity as I am. We're discussing F1 testing here, not your bruised ego.
Now either post on-topic, or go on making a tit of yourself and underlining your troll status. It's up to you.

Good run from Vettel! Shame about the rain returning though, we could've done with a completely dry afternoon at least.

---

Fauzy has at least managed a decent number of laps, importantly for development.

---

Nice to see RBR showing a bit of pace, hopefully there'll be at least one proper dry day for this test.

Surprised Lotus managed as many laps as they have done, up and running quicker than Virgin were on their first day. Better conditions though I suppose.

---

Yeah, the weather has been annoyingly changeable and dodgy. Still not as bad as the wash-out in Portugal last winter though IIRC.

whats the point covering it when you can get photographers with multi thousand pound cameras?

LOL! Good point, pretty pointless really. Looks like a pretty bad attempt at covering it anyway!

well... seeing Lotus results... and the other Virgin results, i know that times arent very important yet but

I thought Di Grassi did a pretty solid time last week. 1:22.9 if I'm not mistaken...was faster than Toro Rosso.

Virgin got their car out at the start of the the session this morning! Timo did 15 laps then binned it in the kitty litter doh!

Just went back out for another sighter lap.

Lotus are having the hydraulic issues today... dunno if it's related to power-steering. But Heikki is getting bored twiddling his thumbs.

Also the Ferrari has a technical problem which is going to take a while to sort out. Nothing serious though.

Looks like he is trying to distance himself from his McLaren past as much as possible lol and I cant blame him in the slightest. New look, new person, new approach, right? The helmet itself looks alright it just doesnt go with the car...

LOL!

One thing I have noticed about the Virgin - it's VERY tail happy. Even in the shakedown it was power-sliding out of every corner. Even if it ends up breaking down in every race, at least they'll have had fun up until that point!

The good thing is though... they've finally got some reliability, They've done 30+ laps today now... which is pretty more than Timo has done since Saturday practice at Suzuka last year :P

Kovy has just binned the Lotus, stuck in the gravel minus the front wing. Autosport are wondering out loud if they have a spare.

Good to see Virgin - and even Lotus - making more progress. (Lotus having problems, yes, but better they get them out of the way now. With the car that is - the Kovy problems are a different matter :P) Rain sadly being a huge disruption.

---

Yeah I'm kind of leaning towards driver error for the off's that Virgin and Lotus have had today.

I admit, that Lotus looks way better on track than it did at the presentation!
