McLaren caused a few surprising faces few minutes ago when Hamilton drove out pit. Many media laughed at the rear, as McLaren's car looked like a kart. It appears that the movements of the McLaren car and will monitor above the diffuser, allowing the entire width of a measuring instrument is placed.

Trying to find a pic

Duke · 10 Feb 2011 at 09:21

Thanks for the pic. Yep it will measure the air flow at the back. Its the same as they had on the side pods last year - http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=18400139&postcount=96

Duke · 10 Feb 2011 at 13:09

The only test really worth looking at is the final one imo. Especially as it will be at the same location as the first race.

Duke · 10 Feb 2011 at 22:03

Yep looks great.

shumies fastest so far

Just need one for Horner. "This part passes all the tests the infidels have requested"

Duke · 12 Feb 2011 at 09:38

OP updated with today's timing links.

Heidfeld is on track today. To compare, Petrov's best time from the last two days is 1m22.493s.

Duke · 12 Feb 2011 at 16:28

Heidfeld went two seconds quicker than Petrov did (who's been in the car a few days) on his first day in the car and team.. pretty good going.

Some nice photos there, especially the Hamilton/Barrichello one.

Duke · 13 Feb 2011 at 09:10

OP updated with timing links, final day at Jerez.

Wonder if anyone will dip into the 1m 19sec time.

Edit: Barrichello has done a 1m19.832s

Duke · 13 Feb 2011 at 16:39

That'll be Red Bull if you look at their positions.

Duke · 13 Feb 2011 at 19:03

Red Bull and Ferrari have the most conservative looking cars so far, must have some good bits we can't see

Duke · 14 Feb 2011 at 10:59

The big question mark over Red Bull will be whether their KERS is any good.

Duke · 14 Feb 2011 at 13:12

Off the top of my head from 2009 the Mercedes was clearly the best in terms of it working well and reliability. The Ferrari worked okay but had reliability issues but was better at the end of the season and the Renault was okay but maybe not developed as much as the other two?
