   The title of this post on the home looked funny.
   The first line said: “Second Barcelona test day”
   The 2nd line said: “4 pictures”

   I said: ***? Only 4 pictures?? hahaha

            They let fans go up in the hot air balloon during the test.

            I know someone who did it. Crazy idea but sounds very cool.

      You see where it says “More pictures will be added here throughout the test” – guess what that means?

      HRT’s car hasn’t even done a lap yet. Pictures of the launch are here:

         I know i am just being impatient thats all and please dont think i am a die hard HRT fan i just wanted to know if it did get around the track? ( which i now know thanks) although it would be great to see a team every last man and his dog has slagged off wipe the floor with everyone.

      I know. The pit crew look like a bunch of middle aged computer programmers at a corporate team building event, who may or may not be going for a game of golf after the afternoon seminar on Microsoft MySQL…

         Very accurate description. Maybe it will only be minigolf in “funny” T-shirts the HR department came up with though!

      the nose section and uprights i think have to be set for the year, its the actual wing section that the teams can alter throughout the year. And yes i believe thats last years wing section

         okay why did redbull changed their nose and wing in 09? i believe it was at silverstone.

            Wow, it’s a bloody miracle!! I thought they had just stopped development of their front wing so they could divert funds elsewhere ;)

               Well, let’s not get too hasty, it isn’t a very dramatic change, nor is Ferrari’s front wing change, but I feel it is more substantial.

   Actually Ferrari seem to have a sort of new front wing. From what I can see new endplates, new third stacked element

      And new bodywork. This isn’t the 150 Italia they launched at Maranello…

   No it’s definitely not, it appears much more developed. I’ve got a feeling Massa and Alonso will be much better able to mix it up with the Redbull boys this year.
