3rd & 7 37yd

She's lovely, that red-headed Italian girl, but is she any good for the long run?

Verstappen enters the fray. Hamilton has come in to the pits, ending his run of laps.

by Nate Saunders 2/4/2015 1:43:36 PM
Hamilton goes green in all three sectors to post a 1:22.497, putting him second.

by Nate Saunders 2/4/2015 2:02:53 PM
Both Kimi and Lewis' best times have been posted on medium tyres.

by Nate Saunders 2/4/2015 2:04:15 PM
nate..what was the tyre on which kimi set 1:21? and on what tyre is hamilton on right now?

by gaurav243 2/4/2015 2:05:08 PM
@gaurav243: Medium. Medium.

by Nate Saunders 2/4/2015 2:05:14 PM
nate...lol..what a timing..

by gaurav243 2/4/2015 2:05:40 PM
Grosjean's day may be over. The team has been struggling with a power unit problem and it looks like the guys at Lotus are packing up - though nothing is confirmed yet.

by Nate Saunders 2/4/2015 2:10:22 PM
@Nate. Hang in there mate. less than 2 hours to go. dont lose it already :P

2015 F1 season is going to be another bloody red show, resurrection has come to paint the race tracks red again by Kimi and Seb.

I'd be willing to bet almost anything that a Ferrari will not win the Australian GP. This is just testing people, geez.

by Matt 2/4/2015 2:13:12 PM
Huge Ferrari fan but come on guys It's just testing.... I would have stopped answering the same questions about Ferrari.

Hamilton nearing a century of laps in Jerez.

by Nate Saunders 2/4/2015 2:14:27 PM
Hamilton could 'only' manage 91 on Monday but he's just started 92.

Why are there always red flags in testing and no yellow flags?

by Mandeep Singh 2/4/2015 2:18:52 PM
@SchumiTheGreatest: Raikkonen's is indeed the fastest time of the test, beating the time set by team-mate Sebastian Vettel on Monday.

by Laurence Edmondson 2/4/2015 2:37:26 PM
What tires was #7 using

by Canuck 2/4/2015 2:39:14 PM
@Canuck: That was on soft tyres. Vettel's time was on mediums.

Update from McLaren....

Cost has always been an issue in F1. I started watching in 95. The main problem with F1 is is technology is always changing and evolving. No season is the same as the last as the designers are always trying to push the envelope to get extra performance. Teams have come and gone but the show always goes on. To reduce costs Bernie needs to decide weather the sport is going to be focused on technology or racing skill.

Hamilton has ticked over to his 102nd lap of the day.

by Nate Saunders 2/4/2015 2:46:24 PM
Kimi and Lewis the only men out on track.

by Nate Saunders 2/4/2015 2:48:13 PM
I'm suprised Honda's experinece in other forms of motorsport have gone unmentioned. Anyone would think the last engine they made for a racing team was their own back in F1 2008. Super GT, Indycar? Their experience will come good, shame another small issue has appeared. Hope to see em back out before the end of the day, have they said how long @Nate?

by Steve Taro 2/4/2015 2:50:27 PM
@SteveTaro: Not at the moment. McLaren are usually pretty good at keeping people informed of what's going on so hopefully we'll know something soon.

by Nate Saunders 2/4/2015 2:50:50 PM
Raikkonen has come out for a fresh run and is pumping out laps on the soft tyre, his latest a 1:21.968.

by Nate Saunders 2/4/2015 2:52:40 PM
Massa the latest man to enter the fray. Lewis is back in the garage.

by Nate Saunders 2/4/2015 2:52:58 PM
Off topic. Any news on the condition of MSC & Bianchi?

by SchumiTheGreatest edited by Nate Saunders 2/4/2015 2:53:10 PM
@SchumiTheGreatest: Nothing new recently. Remember, take any news you hear from sources other than both families with a pinch of salt.

by Romain Grosjean via twitter 2/4/2015 2:54:03 PM
We didn't see a very optimistic Grosjean last year - his first impressions of the E23 seem to have left him in a good mood.

by Nate Saunders 2/4/2015 2:54:30 PM
Just as I was about to write it looks like his day is over....

by Nate Saunders 2/4/2015 2:55:19 PM
An early bath for us after 53 laps today. The data suggested something was amiss with the Power Unit. Productive first test nevertheless.

by Renault Sport F1 via twitter 2/4/2015 2:55:29 PM
Nate: Can you tell me whether Both Vettel & Kimi used two different cars or one car with different numbers on it??

by rockedin123 2/4/2015 2:56:55 PM
@rockedin123: At this stage of the season teams will only have one car. Tweaks can be made to either, obviously, but the stickers are pretty easy to change every day.

by Nate Saunders 2/4/2015 2:57:34 PM
Was Kimi doing a long run when he set that time or was he on low fuel

by shushy 2/4/2015 2:58:39 PM
@shushy: He was on soft tyres so it's likely he was on low fuel.

by Nate Saunders 2/4/2015 2:58:52 PM
@Laurence - Could you post track temp and tires used in the times shown in your recaps?

by Canuck 2/4/2015 2:59:23 PM
@Canuck: Track temperature is 21 degrees Celsius. I haven't been keeping track of every headline time but Kimi's most recent was on softs.

by Nate Saunders 2/4/2015 2:59:51 PM
We're into the final hour of testing.

by Nate Saunders 2/4/2015 3:03:05 PM
Hello, How are the long time runs of the Ferrari comparing to those around them? Or have they mostly been doing only these low fuel runs?

by Siddhesh 2/4/2015 3:03:07 PM
@Siddhesh: Ferrari really hasn't been doing long runs, it's been doing handfuls of small bursts.

by Nate Saunders 2/4/2015 3:03:23 PM
Ericsson has improved on his personal best 1:23.257 - which leaves him fifth.
