Pre-Season Winter testing : 2014 Season

[RasputinLives]

Why would the media cover a handful of cars that will never be used again goimg round a circuit in a politically questionable country in the middle of december? What could possibly happen that would justify them diverting resources from all things xmas to cover it? Bob all thats what.

I'm barely interested myself and I love F1.

Surely Vettel must be there to show how his workrate is higher than that of any other driver. Or is he being distracted by a swelling woman?

Initial reports are the 2014 tyres are slower.

At least it wasn't Lewis driving as half the people on here would be ranting about the shit tyres putting their main man in danger and the other half would be telling us it was all his fault 'cos he's a shit driver.

It's fairly self-evident this would never have happened were Lewis driving.

Where's the duck for cover smiley?

I see Pirelli are determined to carry on as they started then making sure their tyres are shit....

Pirellis statement

The tyre tests in Bahrain regarded a number of prototypes (liable to explode), which were completely innovative(they explode) in terms of (exploding)structure and (exploding)compounds, with the aim of developing the most suitable solutions(ones that don't explode) for the next season.

This morning Nico Rosberg's Mercedes was fitted with one of these (exploding)prototypes, a tyre which had only been tested in the (explosives)laboratory and which will not be proposed again(because it exploded).

Thus, the safety of the tyres(which exploded) which will be supplied for the next Championship is not in question(NOT Mega L0LZ).'

The (exploding near death)accident which happened to Rosberg's (mangled) car is being investigated and the findings(A tyre exploded) will be communicated to the FIA (who will shred it)and the teams(who will file it under future law suits)

I am absolutely stupid with the excuses Pirelli come out with for their exploding product, we wouldn't have even heard about it Rosberg hadn't tweeted that he to reach for the extra toilet paper when it happened and then took the tweet down again...

Lotus aren't going to be at Jerez. I would say Kimi got out just in time.
