Jerez Test - Day Two

3rd & 7 37yd

I think Honda have gone for the most aggressive route from everything I've seen and read and plan to paper over the cracks as they pop up (i.e. super fast at the expense of reliability).

So I'm expecting good fights at some point with Merc an McLaren but I also expect McLaren to have a few DNF's due to running on the limit of possibilities. Should be interesting.

Nasr also joins the fray on full wets.

i just hope mercedes are not sand bagging

We have a McLaren out of the garage!

Button is on full wets and has 20 minutes to accumulate a few laps.

by Nate Saunders 2/2/2015 3:42:13 PM
Vettel also out so it's going to be a busy finish out there.

I hope Ferrari is not at 100% pace

Fingers Crossed for Button - McLaren!

by John Fruge 2/2/2015 3:44:28 PM
Button isn't going around the circuit with any real pace at all and he returns to the pace straight away. The engine goes off immediately so, perhaps fittingly in the rain, that was little more than a damp squib for McLaren.

Two days of testing have resulted in 11 laps for the MP4-30.

by Nate Saunders 2/2/2015 3:45:40 PM
Just hope Mclaren is contender for the top 3, leave the rest to Button and Alonso

i hope ferrari's pace is strong, and i hope mercedes are not sand bagging

by monchiz 2/2/2015 3:48:00 PM
Vettel, Verstappen and Nasr the men out on track enjoying a drive in the wet conditions as we approach the final ten minutes.

To all those who are talking about sand bagging or not. First of all, what makes you think that one team is sand bagging and the other isn't? Lap time isn't an indication at this stage at least. What engine settings they running? torque map? etc etc... #makesomesenseplease

@Omair: Well said. I never understand the F1 fan obsession with 'sandbagging'. There's nothing to be gained from sanbagging on the second day of pre-season testing.

by Nate Saunders 2/2/2015 3:49:11 PM
Nice to see Ferrari and Sauber doing some good laps.

Update from Lotus on Maldonado's issues earlier...

by Nate Saunders 2/2/2015 3:49:26 PM
Drivetrain related issue curtailed @Pastormaldo's last run. Wet conditions now at Jerez so ideal opportunity to work on it ahead of tomorrow

How will you rank these 5 drivers? Alonso, Button, Vettel, Lewis and Kimi?
