Valencia Wednesday.......

From the BBC

1105am: Alonso is now up to second as he sets a time of 1:14.111. Here's a timing update: Vettel (1:13.614), Alonso (1:14.111), Di Resta (1:14.199), Hamilton (1:14.701), Kubica (1:14.832), Rosberg (1:15.973), Alguersuari (1:16.474), Perez (1:17.019), Glock (1:17.228), Barrichello (1:17.344) and Karthikeyan (1:18.974).

 

1120: It's a bit quiet on the track at the moment, only the Hispania of Karthikeyan and the Toro Rosso of Alguersuari out there at the moment. Rosberg improves to a 1:15.383 but it still sixth fastest behind Kubica. Still trying to search for a photo of the new Lotus out on the track that we can use but nothing has dropped as yet. As soon as it does, I'll put it up.

 

1219: ... and Vettel's time is beaten, Fernando Alonso sets a 1:13.469 to go fastest by 0.145 seconds. That's the quickest time of the test so far.

 

Reliable and fast so far. Not a bad combo. I know its early though!!!

 

1449: Problems for Team Lotus, on this, their first day of testing. Team Lotus technical chief Mike Gascoyne Tweets: "Testing finished for today due to power steering problem. Need to get it back to the UK and fixed and rebuilt overnight ready for morning."

1446: I haven't done this in a while so here's a run down of the times: Alonso (1:13.307), Vettel (1:13.614), Di Resta (1:13.844), Kubica (1:14.412), Hamilton (1:14.701), Rosberg (1:15.383), Glock (1:15.408), Barrichello (1:16.023), Perez (1:16.198), Alguersuari (1:16.474), Buemi (1:17.471), Karthikeyan (1:17.769), Kovalainen (1:20.649), Maldonado (1:21.160).

 

Im glad to do this. So nice to see the teams back at work!
