This information is a little worrying! 1.1s slower is a lot and I do not think 14 laps will cause half a second degradation. Imagine what might happen over 110 laps!!

What might be relevant is the first 20 laps or so with 120 kilos of fuel effect the tyres much more than the tyres starting with 80 kilos of fuel. I really hope so. Alonso for WDC!!

I do not understand why the teams insist on testing where they know the weather is likely to prevent them from getting on track. It may cost more to go elsewhere (further south) but how does that compare with hundreds of highly paid team members sitting around waiting for the rain to stop. With no testing during the season, winter testing has become more important than ever before, the teams should all agree to head for Bahrain (without sandstorms), or at least somewhere where the weather is more predictable.

Impressive from Wirth, the fact that they made new parts rather than just replaced them.

James: I notice the alt=”" for the picture is non-descriptive. It just says “Picture 60″. That isn’t helpful for:
o Text-only readers of your blog
o Blind readers of your blog
o Search engines
o Not terribly helpful to me, as sighted reader, I was hoping it would say something relevant about the picture I may have missed.

Lewis Hamilton set the fastest time today and the McLaren is quick. If I was a betting man I’d say the McLaren will be the best not because I know much about it but because it’s just a blind guess! It certainly looks the best – a car fit for a king! Beautiful. However I think some teams like Mercedes and Red Bull may be sand bagging but Ferrari are more keen to show their real pace which is competitive – that’s just what I think! Whatever is going on no one can tell who is fastest. It really is exciting!

Well Lewis’s McLaren has just posted the fastest time of the week so they must be in fair shape

I too am a great Hamilton fan but better than Senna I think not, as good maybe at the same sage of their careers but better overall noway Hosay Given time though who knows.

and I am finally convinced the green paint and all the aero gadgets were not a sign of doom:)
