Pre-Season 2013 F1 Winter Testing: 3 - Circuit de Catalunya, 28 February-3 March

[Mephistopheles]

Does anyone know what made Massa's wheel make a bid for freedom? I would have loved to have been privy to the radio conversation.

I av no wheel it is gone, it is gone I av no steering do something,

Calm down Felipe baby I'm bringing you a new wheel....

 

[Brogan]

Does anyone know the total lap counts for all teams and drivers over the whole of testing

GP Update have done it for each test individually; here's the final one for example: http://www.gpupdate.net/en/f1-news/291254/combined-times-barcelona-pre-season-test/

 

[Greenlantern101]

Brogan thanks for that. Now I can get my sandbagging compensated predictions finished off this evening.

 

[Brogan]

Do you also have the other links/totals then for the previous two tests?

 

[Greenlantern101]

yes thanks

 

[Brogan]

I'll rephrase that then; do you want to post the combined totals for downforce?

 

[Greenlantern101]

Erm not sure what you mean by 'combined totals for downforce' but these are the links I used for the combined times for the first two tests.

These have already been input into my spread sheet on sand bagging. See below, I will do the final test update tonight.

You are all a bunch of sad, staty geeks and you need to get out more!

 

[downforce]

Haha thanks guys.

Definitely FB but I do like to know the total lap counts for everyone lol.

 

[downforce]

Interesting Vettel and Webber are so far down that list. Red-Bull are usually the ones pounding the laps in.

 

[downforce]

Also who would have thought Mercedes would top it after the first 2 days

 

[Brogan]

Lotus must be concerned.

 

[downforce]

They seemed to be similar last year from memory. Not too many laps, and then steering "issues" for Raikkonen for the first half of the season.

 

[Slyboogy]

Any idea why Force India put in James Rossiter in for a test? He wasn't a serious candidate for the seat, nor have I read or seen anything to show that he's their reserve driver.

 

[Brogan]

British driver Rossiter will drive on Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning as part of a deal to carry out simulator work for Force India.

Does he have a cat called Vienna? Thought I'd get in before Gethinceri does.

Back on topic, he's a bit old isn't he?
