F1 Testing 2010

[Skeeter]

No team will run KERS

Doing so will get them kicked out of FOTA, who, now that they have all teams in, are actually quite a force.

KERS is dead.

Wait 'till 2013 - possible turbo charged V6's on the cards

baseless fact or you have proof?

 

[Kenai]

Interesting... looks like the Williams is running KERS then.

Not likely, and if they were, the last thing they'd do is advertise it all over the car at the very first tests of 2010. You'd think they'd keep it schtum as possible, at least until the first race if not longer.

Just pimping one of the Williams Group.

They bought Automotive Hybrid Power in early 2008 iirc.

Ahh, makes sense.

Was bandied about mid last year.

Mosley started out with the 'World Engine' Running in turbocharged form in F1 and lesser states of tune down the other categories.

Think it was also discussed by FOTA

Early doors yet. Could be a number of reasons why from driver comfort to tech probs.

I hope the mclaren's running on a large fuel load and that the ferrari's running on a low load, quite a difference already.

I think it's way, way, way too early to learn anything about the car's relative performance. Far too many variables for the first 100 laps out of the box to be indicative. Simply whether the teams are choosing to run with 10, 50, 100 or 150 kg of fuel covers the spread in times.

most more than likely will either be using 40kg or 80kg acording to people in the know.

people seeking sponsors will be running a lot less and i'd imagine ferrari arent very heavy right now either unless they built an amazing car, sauber are probably running on fumes and they arent that far behind the ferrari times

From what I've heard the F10's headline times are all for show. It's long run pace is in the 1:15s, whereas the MP425s at the hands of Hamilton yesterday was in the 1:12-13s.

Testing last year didn't didn't reveal much bar the Brawns initial dominance. Reliability has been good so far this week. 3 stops overall? I remember many more last year.

Yup...

The fact that there are b-spec rumours already would be indicitive that Ferrari are artificially pushing the car up the list.
Won't wash with the other teams, they will see it and know what is going on.

Perhaps its all a smokescreen
