lol… I’m just excited to see some second session testing! Hopefully a lot more is revealed, but I may be expecting too much!
SeattleChris (@seattlechris)
10th February 2011, 7:55
My dream would be to see the top 15 cars covered by a second this season with the remainder within 2 seconds… lets see some racing. This is the biggest problem with Formula 1 today; no racing. Tracks are too narrow and corners are too tight. If the cars are close though we may actually see some legitimate passing instead of pit lane passes.

Performance of the cars was nearly that close in 2009 and the racing wasn’t spectacular.

what about 2009, the field was constantly covered by less than 1.5 seconds in qualifying

This test will show almost nothing, at best it will give a small idication of how fast a car is and for some teams how reliable their car is.
BasCB (@bascb)
10th February 2011, 8:03
It will show weather the Virgin, McLaren and FI cars are reliable. And some teams might bring out some of their exotic exhaust solutions to try them out.
We will get some more reflections on the tyres and Bruno senna and Quick Nick (nice touch, he changed his avatar in a gold circle withe a Q in it on a black background!) will give an appearance on track.

Mclaren might show us what innovations they’ve got, they said they weren’t all on the car they launched

better live timing was on http://www.msfree.gr last time at valencia though, does it work for jerez too?
SeattleChris (@seattlechris)
10th February 2011, 9:57
any live timings that update everyone on track?
these sites are kinda slow and don’t show all the info… isn’t there a french site?
SeattleChris (@seattlechris)
10th February 2011, 7:57
Do they air the tests in the UK or EU?

Was it Williams who had live timings last week? Try them. Personlly i’ve not paid much attention to the times…I don’t find them to be really indicative.
SeattleChris (@seattlechris)
10th February 2011, 8:04
Between looks and testing times, I’m gonna go with testing times!
BasCB (@bascb)
10th February 2011, 8:06
I liked the greek site (now looking if I can find the link). It had the number of laps and from clicking on drivers it showed all laps as they went.
That can be a nice tool for the statistics lovers to have a go on analyses.

do post the link for the greek site if you find it..
BasCB (@bascb)
10th February 2011, 8:19
I only found the one to valencia testing (http://www.msfree.gr/ms.php?id=18694) my greek is not really up to the job of finding their Jerez live timing.
Rooney (@rojov123)
10th February 2011, 8:34
I just found that if you do not refresh the page, it automatically updates to the jerez timing in a minute or so. DO NOT REFRESH THE PAGE!!!
PS: The driver laptimes are a go… click all you want.. just dont refresh…
BasCB (@bascb)

Kind of soon for a first incident… red flags currently in Jerez. Does someone have any info regarding the weather for this tests?

Anyone remembers what times were last year at the same test (that is first day times, not the ones at the end of the testing session)?

LOL, quite a few of them have already done better times than those. The best times will be beaten quite easily if the weather keeps up today.
Owl
10th February 2011, 9:44
It rained for most of the day though, don’t forget that.
BasCB (@bascb)
10th February 2011, 10:15
Exactly what I was trying to say. With the nice weather today these times might be beaten quite easily.

10th February 2011, 9:14
Everyone is on track now it seems. Torro Rosso leading the red Bull. I bet that is down to fuel loads or going it slow with some new bits at RB!

Why is the bbc not covering this like they did with the last testing session?

is there no live coverage anywhere for these tests i want to watch it as apose to a time screen!!!
SeattleChris (@seattlechris)
10th February 2011, 10:29
One has to believe there is enough demand to have it on some site somewhere! The teams should show car feeds on their own websites at the very least
BasCB (@bascb)
10th February 2011, 10:32
I believe the trouble really is, there are no cameras there. They do keep feeding us some pictures through Twitter and the odd produced video afterwards.
Keiths Twitter app is pretty good for that.
SeattleChris (@seattlechris)
10th February 2011, 10:40
When I look at that page it doesn’t work… probably something on my end though! I’m a bit of a ludite (sp?).
Luke
10th February 2011, 10:44
wellm if anyone finds something share the wealth although if these no cameras there id say the chances are slim. I wonder if there covering the next test dates in Catalunya

Webber just finished an 18 lap run. Pretty consistent times there. Started in with a 1:23.85 and kept that going pretty much for 12 laps, before dropping by alomost a second for the rest of the run.

Am I the only person amazed that Williams are not top of the time sheets yet? Surely the top teams are carrying a little in reserve. Therefore, stick very little fuel in and light up the test. Then, perhaps Williams might get an extra sponsor or two.
Simples.
