Pre-Season Testing starts soon

He gets the next two days I think.

They did that in case he hadn't sobered up since Christmas.

If Ferrari aren't doing glory runs then everyone else is sandbagging.

I suspect Red Bull are now chartering a plane to fly a new nose out to Jerez after Kvyat broke the only one they have.

..except for McLaren, who appear to be doing "ignominy runs"...

Edit - I was replying to Greenlantern101

And they said I was wrong when I speculated that Honda have no history of providing quick engines out of the box.

Sadly, speed isn't going to be enough to stop those Mercedes. Thus far (ok it's only two days but even so) they look almost bomb proof.

Lots of flow vis yesterday and today on the Mercs, have they made a wrong turn aerodynamically?

 

[cider_and_toast]

Would it be wrong to say let's hope so for the sake of the competition?

Anyway, is that Floviz or have they backed over Pac Man?

Commentators curse? Hamilton just stopped.

 

[cider_and_toast]

Oops.

Thats harsh they are only 33.6 seconds off the pace.

 

[RasputinLives]

Ferrari are only putting in quick times because just before testing I stated that I can't see them fixing their issues and that they wouldn't win a race this year.

They just love to prove me wrong.

Have you seen the comment from Mark Hughes on the Sky Sports website that McLaren, inspired by Peter Prodromou, have built a Red Bull Honda

 

[Mephistopheles]

An extremely slow Red Bull Honda it would seem, at this rate it won't be Alonso outscoring Button because neither of them will score any points....

 

[Brogan]

We have our first red flag of the day. Maldonado was the only driver on track #F1 #Jerez

I found this amusing for some reason

 

[Mephistopheles]

I found it inevitable....

 

[Road of Bones]

+10 points for everyone!

 

[Mephistopheles]

Should the title of the thread be changed to Testing 2015...

 

[Bushi]

But orange is the original color for McLaren. I thought it looked fine on the M7.

Yeah i know. And indeed it doesn't look bad on the M7, but it didn't looked great on the mp4-21 imo.
And for me it's more a reference to the Netherlands than for Mclaren.

Maybe they should go for green, since that was the racing color of the UK back in the day.

 

[Mephistopheles]

Well since McLaren is an Australian team historically then may be they should go for the Australian racing colours which are green, gold and blue.

Although statistically green is the unluckiest colour to have on a car...

Think you might want to go back and check that country of origin for McLaren Mephistopheles !! you've just committed the Southern Hemisphere equivalent of calling Sean Connery English.
