Second Barcelona Test

Second Barcelona Test - Day Three

3rd & 7 37yd

@thequadge: Honda chassis with a Merc powertrain forced in. That Frankenstein's Monster would have never won squat without that double diffuser.

Do think most of the red flags at the end of sessons are caused by teams testing fuel pickups?

by Jim Sturges 2/28/2015 4:55:47 PM
@JimSturges: Very possible. Every team runs out of fuel on purpose at least once during testing.

by Laurence Edmondson 2/28/2015 4:56:08 PM
The inside comments are stating that Honda is only 2nd to Merc in the HP department and I believe they can deliver a lot more when needed

ResultantAsteroid Lets look at the case of last year. Alonso and Ferrari, in this case Alonso carried the car on his shoulder since he was driving a go-kart. Than you have a driver who ignores orders from team and loses. There is always someone to blame. As you said most time its the team since we are talking about the best drivers in the world. Even that is disappearing because of the pay drivers.

Wow! 157 laps for SFI?
Reliability at its best!!!

@mfbull yeh but the double diffuser was in the original honda design. The car would have probably worked better around the engine it was originally designed for

Will they, won't they... still waiting for the green flag

by Laurence Edmondson 2/28/2015 4:57:38 PM
Force India does another mammoth 160 lap run, they will match mclaren if they fail to turn a lap tomorrow. amazing!

Bart and ResultantAsteroid are on their own racing world...

with your space modulator?

by Nowhere Man 2/28/2015 4:59:02 PM
@ragav: But only Nowhere Man has the Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator

by mfbull 2/28/2015 4:59:18 PM
Now with twin turbos and dual diffusers

by Nowhere Man 2/28/2015 5:00:20 PM
The clock ticks over to 1800 and Ericsson and Hulkenberg make it out for one more lap. They really are keen today.

by Laurence Edmondson 2/28/2015 5:01:08 PM
Let's face it, we're just a bunch of F1 addicts meeting up early in the morning to wait for the methadone clinic in Melbourne to open up.

by mfbull 2/28/2015 5:01:31 PM
I will install it on the Mclaren / Honda before the 1st race

by Nowhere Man 2/28/2015 5:01:33 PM
@mfbull... oneway ticket to mars is up for grabs... hope ill get one before you use any explosives...

by ragav 2/28/2015 5:01:54 PM
And there it is, the chequered flag. Calling all cars, return to the pits.

by Laurence Edmondson 2/28/2015 5:02:21 PM
Huge day for Force India with 158 laps. Hamilton's soft time leads the way at the end of the day but wasn't as quick of Rosberg's Friday time. Raikkonen and Massa were 0.24-0.25 off the Mercedes but had to use super-softs to get that close.

by Laurence Edmondson 2/28/2015 5:03:52 PM
Fully updated times and a report to come. Plus, Nate will bring you the stories from McLaren and Honda as well as more driver reaction.

by Laurence Edmondson 2/28/2015 5:05:47 PM
What more could you ask for on a Saturday evening? On second thoughts, don't answer that. Just come back tomorrow for the last day of testing.

by Laurence Edmondson 2/28/2015 5:05:56 PM
What is WEC?

by TheTribologist 2/28/2015 5:06:42 PM
hasta mañana, fellas

by mfbull 2/28/2015 5:07:00 PM
@TheTribologist: Come back tomorrow, we'll tell you all about it then
