The Renault in the Caterham used to be my favourite because it had a weird high pitch wail in the exhaust note. It was particularly noticeable at Monaco between the buildings and going up the hill from St Devote to Beau Rivage - it sounded a but like some one had let a (quiet) V12 out on the track. I never found out why it did it... probably because it was broken

Watching the Sky Sports with Ted Kravitz report from Day 1 at turn 2. I found two things of interest. 1) The cars do sound different from last year, a little more noise. and 2) The Ferrari had great corner speed and was hugging the inside kerb quite a bit unlike other cars in turn two. Maybe it's part Kimi driving it into the inside kerb but the Ferrari design gets some credit because last year, it was a given that Kimi did not feel comfortable doing that. The Ferrari was too unpredictable.

Do not be looking at the lap times. Its all about the miles, the more they run, the more they learn. The more they learn, the better they will get. Without knowing the fuel loads and whether its max engine performance or not difficult to comment. Lets wait and watch!

@Rahul8145: I think they will be both quite evenly matched, but Raikkonen hasn't quite been the same since the change in tyre construction midway through 2013. I think this will be his last season if the results don't come, whereas Seb is in it for the long haul.

@Scuderia: They split today's running to make up for lost time yesterday when Hamilton had a fever and couldn't run. Rosberg is also struggling with a neck strain, so it made sense to split today as well as keeping it fair. It's entirely okay by the rules, they can have as many drivers as they want in one day of testing.

@burnettbull: It's a cost thing. You need more people to run a second car and it was decided when testing was reduced to limit it to one. For the teams it's not so bad as they can focus their attention on one car rather than two and at this stage second chassis are often still being fabricated along with lots of other parts.
