If you have any other timing links etc, please post them and I'll add them to the list.
 
Need to find that foreign commentary link, which translated funny.

Thanks Dimi, will add those.

I'm interested in the Sauber design, purely because they've broken the mould and gone with narrower sidepods. Does this mean they're sacrificing cooling in return for greater straight line and other aero performance? At least it is something a little different to look at - maybe they've half a nod to 2014 and the lower cooling requirements.

Force India have very small side pod intakes as well - http://cdn.f1zone.net/news/wp-content/gallery/force-india-vjm06-launch/force-india-vjm06-02.jpg which was surprising as that engine is well known for being hotter than the Renault or Ferrari units.
 
Yeah nice time from Massa there. Lets see if its beaten tomorrow :)

Ted's notebook should be up shortly.

#f1 There were some rumours around this morning that McLaren had bought Cosworth. These have been denied by McLaren sources.



Interesting :)

[Today Mercedes is testing the DRD (drag reduction device) on F1W04. They've also added new mini Y75 winglet (or "monkey seat") on top of the DRD exit outlet above the beam wing.The DRD air intake is located on top of an engine cover behind the roll hoop. The ductwork goes from top the engine cover to the L section where the air fluid switch is located. At higher air speed and air pressure (when car is travelling at higher speed) the switch sends the air in the upper tube that blows the lower side of the rear wing. Blowing at 90° with an air jet coming out of the duct will stall the rear wing and boost the top speed. At lower air speed and air pressure (when car is travelling at lower speed) the fluid switch directs the air to the exit outlet on top of a beam wing. This device is device is passive as it contains no movable parts (Fia regulations - movable aerodynamic devices) and it's not activated by driver so it's legal for 2013 season. To get the device working is highly complicated process as some track contain high speed corners where the stalled rear wing would most likely cause an accident. The changeable weather conditions are also the aspect which they have to take into account as the pressure gradient changes. The flow re-attachment before braking is also important as any delay will cause the rear end instability during braking. The comments from the engineers are that the use of device would be be most beneficial on stop'n go tracks. The characteristic of this are low-medium speed corners and long straights without of high speed corner sections.

JB's was done on the first day on a green track don't forget. All is meaningless though until qually in Oz :D
