Pre-Season The first Test of 2011 - Valencia

[Andrea_Moda_Rules]

The likelihood is they'll have lots of fuel on until very late in the day when perhaps they'll be a couple of glory runs. But I wouldn't count on it as the new cars are totally unique and a little precious right now.

And Also the teams will not be wanting to show there hand too early either. If your car turns out to be a mile n half quicker it gives the other teams a few weeks to try and do something about it before the first race.

Reason for little Torro Rosso action is that noce they did a few laps they took it apart again. To check over the parts.

Sussing just how accurate the fuel gauge is I suspect.

 

[Andrea_Moda_Rules]

Rosberg set a time of 1m19.930s not a 1:16.450 as Snowy states, the was an

up with the name on time beam Rosbergs name wasn't replaced when Shumi stepped in the Car. He didn't go out again after the Hydrualics problem.

So Vettel will be 2011 Woeld Champion, Forc India have picked the wrong driver, Schumi still stucks Mercades will go to extrinary lengths to make sure Rosber finishes behind. and D'Ambrosio is a thousand times better then Timo Glock and Di Grassi.

Or maybe......just maybe its too early to tell

The times listed under each driver are now as up to date as I can make them. Some long runs and heavy fuel runs were made in the afternoon and from those times we can make of them what we will!
