Do you have any records of last years testing times at this track snowy.?

 

[snowy]

Morning people.

Hopefully the track will dry and there will be no more rain. As for the track rubbering in...well it just might not happen! Apparently in Jerez the track hardly rubbered in at all! The teams were quite flummoxed by the lack of improvement of lap times over the course of the test.

Do you have any records of last years testing times at this track snowy.?

Yes, they are here somewhere...

[sportsman]

Thanks snowy.Just what the doctor ordered.

Just Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello on track.

Sebastian Vettel, Michael Schumacher and Paul di Resta have still to set a time. I not sure Michael has actually been on track this morning.

 

[snowy]

Most recent laps: 1:39.129 for Rubens and a 1:38.429 for Jenson

I am not sure how reliable the list of times is going to be today... at the moment Michael Schumacher has completed 4 laps but on the list he has 24 and no where on that list is a record of his quickest time of 1:37.466. I have no idea whose laps they are but they are definitely not Schuey's.

Edit: Good , they've sorted that out now Schuey's laps should be correct now.

 

[snowy]

Nick Heidfeld has completed his pitstop practice session which saw him in and out for a total of 27 laps! Vitaly Petrov will presumably do pretty much the same thing for the rest of this mornings session.

Nick is now off for a well earned rest and Vitaly will complete the rest of the day.

 

[sportsman]

Lotus Renault Twitter feed.

Pit stop practice complete for Nick. Vitaly is just about to start his. Then, Vitaly will remain in the car for the rest of the day.

 

[snowy]

The track has suddenly srung to life with Fernando, Jaime, Jenson, Sebastian and Rubens all on track.

 

[snowy]

Quick but not quick enough my sporty friend.

[Brogan]

Have I missed anything?

Anyone (McLaren) got the flow-viz paint out yet?
