ANyone have an idea what's going on at Valencia today. Testing should be just about over.
GRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!! F... Alonso, now I know why we tested at Vellalunga last week. here you can download the video: http://rapidshare.com/files/14147234/FA_hit_LB___Valenci_1-30.avi
I don't put much faith in pre-season tests; all the teams will whip out their latest and greatest either at the last test or at the first GP as they don't want to tip their hand, especially as to aeros..... Last year Honda looked fast-I thought JB was going to be a real threat-but they failed to live up to the pre-season hype on race day.... http://www.formula1.com/news/3998.html
Agreed, Ferrari still hasn't shown all it's aero design for the new car, and I doubt they will show what they have until the end of testing or even the friday practice before the Australian GP.
If he hadn't bounced off Badoer, he would have been the one who went off. Not surprised he was fastest, it's his fourth test at Valencia in a week. BTW, is a special CODEC required to view the above .avi? I only hear the sound.
Looks like the games are starting already !! Must say tho, thats a really strange tangle to have in testing !!
Does anyone know what happened there? Did Badoer tighten his turn and cut off FA or did FA just take the turn too wide because of his speed?
Todays testing results: Valencia* - 31/01/2007 1 . F. Alonso - McLaren Mercedes MP4-22 - 1:12.582 (+ 0.000 ) - 86 laps 2 . G. Fisichella - Renault R27 - 1:12.737 (+ 0.155 ) - 37 laps 3 . H. Kovalainen - Renault R27 - 1:12.770 (+ 0.188 ) - 43 laps 4 . K. Raikkonen - Ferrari F2007 - 1:12.860 (+ 0.278 ) - 51 laps 5 . N. Heidfeld - BMW Sauber F1.07 - 1:13.012 (+ 0.430 ) - 50 laps 6 . J. Trulli - Toyota TF107 - 1:13.297 (+ 0.715 ) - 47 laps 7 . R. Kubica - BMW Sauber F1.07 - 1:13.310 (+ 0.728 ) - 42 laps 8 . F. Massa - Ferrari 248 F1 - 1:13.574 (+ 0.992 ) - 48 laps 9 . R. Barrichello - Honda RA107 - 1:13.690 (+ 1.108 ) - 72 laps -- Pretty impressive drive from Kimi, just 0.27sec off Alonso who has tested quite abit on this track already.
Not bad! McLaren are in good shape it seems. The F2007 will top the timesheets very soon, you'll see!! The RB3 isn't quick off the bat....a bit of a disappointment.
