Pretty good advertising from Kevin Maggers. In the shop window and just needs to win the 3.5 series to make a sale.

The only other thing that stands out is Chilton being 2 seconds slower than the Marussia academy driver. Not as many laps but doesn't look impressive.

Do you possibley think that Magnussens amount of laps today was possibley that to gain a super licence he either has to win the Renault 3.5 series(which he's currently second in) or complete 300km in an F1 car at a test?
 
It's most interesting to have an established F1 driver in Paul Di Resta listed on the time sheets as this gives a much clearer picture of the performance of those drivers around him and makes young Magnussen's time that much more impressive.

I've read that Chilton had some issues with the car that limited his track time but having said that, it still doesn't look good that he was 2 seconds off the pace.

Is any one else looking at all those "son of" names and thinking "I remember watching his dad race, bloody hell, I feel old now" LOL
 
Were all those fastest times done on the same tyre compound? I got the impression that Magnusson's last run was done on the softer of the tyres available, while perhaps some of the others were set on the harder tyres.

I thought Juncadella's time in the Williams looked not half bad.
 
Chad Stewarthill - I would imagine that everybody's fastest time was on the softest tire, except for the race drivers who were trialing the Hungary spec rubber.

Apparently Ricciardo beached the Red Bull on just his 7th lap.
 
Ricciardo managed to stuff it in the gravel after only 7 laps.
