First Jerez Testing - 10-13 February (timing/updates)

too bad the weather is crappy

 

Thanks for the link Carol.

Wet set up test then.

 

Any way to get a pic of it?

 

Williams got an interresting "live" timing :

anyone with live video links of testing?

 

Ahh yes, the mast! We've seen some odd devices so far in testing (and the dreaded green gook )

It's good to see the Hulk and Petrov in F1 cars this year. They were both a ton of fun to watch in GP2 last year.

 

You have a few great pics here too:

I don't think there's any video material at this point

 

Lots of good updates on today's testing on Twitter. Here is one:

This weather is going to make a lot of these times useless. Very hard for Red Bull to get an accurate read on the new car....

 

The Ferrari has been doing some decent times on wet conditions.

 

+1
I find it ridiculous that the worlds most popular spectator sport, has us scratching about for video feeds Surly there must be some one filming for TV.

dang. not enough data on virgin to reach any conclusions.

 

Ridiculous indeed...but certainly in keeping with the draconian rule of FOM.

 

i must say the Ferrari is looking better and better everytime I see it. Its actually a good looking car.

 

Note to Branson:

"Welcome to Formula 1."

 

Wow, they didn't even had a spare front wing !

that's kinda silly to loose one day of test for that.

 

At least they have a car.

 

sounds like an excuse to me.
