Can just imagine a tear rolling down Newey's cheek when he sees something like this on his cars

No news on the McLaren issue (they appear to be well down on laps compared to a lot of other teams, so Im guessing the problem is major)
"We're looking into the problem that stopped Jenson out on-track this morning. Hopefully, we'll head out later this afternoon!"
From McLaren
Perez was on super softs, Alonso was on softs and Lewis was on hard tires for their fastest times so far.

Typical Benson and his usual I'll just write down something over heard in the pit lane and call it fact.

The poster has quoted it to James Allen.
I call BS on that figure though. There is just no way they could reliably know. They can try and guess but there are just too many variables. Especially in a test session where some of the cars won't even be legal.

I couldn't find any info sorry.
EDIT="Button was driving the unmarked experimental tires."
Haters going to hate

Maldonado improves with personal bests in all three sectors on his first flying lap
Maldonado's Lotus has stopped at the esses just after Turn 4. He's well off the track and out of the car.

Cheers for that deuse
How to make the time even more irrelevant - do a run on "unmarked - experimental tyres" lol
Hope McLaren get out again today, no one can really afford to lose the majority of a whole day at this late stage (no dig at RBR or anyone else intended)

Slightly off topic but I see that Merc have signed Vitally Petrov for their DTM team, I always liked him when he was a Renault/Lotus.

How many will finish the Australia GP? Will time run out before they can do the laps?
Could Marussia finish in the top 10? I'm going to be a nervous wreck come race weekend
Renault Sport's Head of Track Operations, Rémi Taffin, speaks exclusively to Ted Kravitz, about the new engine for the 2014 season.

the fanatic is handy for keeping an eye on the news and the live feature during the races is excellent.
