F1 Testing 2010

[TW]Taggart · 1 Feb 2010 at 15:51

I wouldnt read to much into the times tbh. a lot of today will be evaluating the new front tyres so they can calibrate their simulators back at base

will any of the testing be on tv?

Final times from today:

Very good start for Schumacher, immediately on the pace!

No, they never show testing on tv. The best you can get is live text updates online.

I'm guessing McLaren have already sent a hitman to find whoever took this.

poor nico rosberg......

With the caveat about testing not always being the full story, I'm quite impressed with the Sauber's raw pace - it could have course be a ploy to get sponsors on board however.

Was thinking along similar lines. I bet he died alittle after seeing the times. I would say I think its still too early to call based on having to settle into a new car/team etc, however Michael has been out for 3 years and is immediately on the pace so I dont think that excuse will wash. I wonder if he was aware of the possibility of Mr Schumacher being signed to Mercedes before signing himself?

From NobleF1 on twitter

Rubens Barrichello was asked if he had any advice to give Rosberg up against Schumi: "Yeah. Get out of there!"

The bitchiness has truly begun.

because rubens knows full well even on equal terms schumacher will crush you! and destroy your motivation.

if you lack talent the last place you can hide your race pace is as schumachers team mate

I do hope McLaren aren't about to get into a world of hurt with the stewards at the opening race re: the diffuser....would be nice if we could start this season without any stupidity of that sort and the usual accusations of bias that get thrown around whenever it happens!

Massa still looks like there's a 1kg spring headed his way there.

What's the mast on top of the Ferrari at the end of this video, something to do with telemetry/datalogging? It can't be part of the race trim surely, it's about 2ft high!
