I do

Where did you nick that little snippet from?
Put it this way, HRT are only 1.4seconds behind.
I don't think McLaren were anywhere near pushing the car
while this may be true - how do we know RB was pushing their car any harder?
In one sense RB could be pushing even less (as they have had to make more dramatic changes from last season ........( I pray this is wrong, but surely the theory works out lol)
I was joking, it's almost word for word what I said on here 2 days ago
In that case I apologise Sparky
Quite. I'll be concerned if McLaren don't show any pace throughout the first couple of tests but after two days? It's all down to who's doing what runs, with what setups and what tyres, rather than anything related to ultimate pace.
Racking up the laps is key to successful testing.
Most of the time, this is true.
However, last year, I remember it was Ferrari who had the most successful testing period. They put in a huge number of miles and had virtually no reliability problems. Everything ran to plan. They then turned up to race 1 and were shocked at the lack of pace.
In 2009, BrawnGP turned upto the last week of testing (missing out the previous 2 weeks). They were reliable and fastest straight-out-of-the-box, so there are exceptions.
Personally, I would look to see who is fastest in the final week of testing. Even then though, its hard to tell.
I was reading the following article:

Of particular note were the following to paragraphs:
and something which I found highly amusing:
I always thought that it was unclear as to whether or not MSc was "trying" to take out his rival, but it would appear that most people have now accepted this as fact.
Did MSc himself ever admit that he intended to "take out" Villeneuve from the race, to win the title?

Found this from 2008 - Kimi and Schumacher testing in the same car

Yes he did, sure it was in the Schumacher book by Sabine Khelm (sp) he admitted it was a regret of his.
no he didnt he said he would do things differently, he never said he intentionally rammed villeneuve
And as such admitted it was the wrong thing to do, everyone knows he tried to take him out.
Nice.
Though in fairness, the MSc of 2008, was not the MSc of pre 2006.
For me, Alonso took over from MSc in 2006, as the "daddy" of F1. From 1994-2006 (12 years), MSc was THE BOSS. Had Kimi beaten MSc in that time period, I would definitely raise an eye-brow.
When MSc quit, after losing the title in 2006, he knew that he was no longer the driver he once was.
