Second Barcelona Test

Second Barcelona Test - Fourth Day

3rd & 7 37yd

Nate, what would your top 3 drivers as of now...will kimi will be fit in that??

by altaf 3/1/2015 9:46:50 AM
@altaf: If we're going on form from last year, Lewis, Alonso and Ricciardo. Lewis is world champion and one of the best drivers of his generation (if not all time), Alonso is the most complete of the current grid, and Ricciardo was just phenomenal last season. His race craft was exceptional.

I don't follow anyone on Twitter.

by mfbull 3/1/2015 9:48:19 AM
@mfbull: I wish I didn't. Twitter caught me in its tractor beam years ago and I've never escaped.

#YOLO haha everyone used it for a while

by Jonny Dietrick 3/1/2015 9:50:03 AM
I imagine it's a necessary evil in your line of work.

by mfbull 3/1/2015 9:50:22 AM
@mfbull: It is. Little by little it is destroying journalism but you have to be on it these days if are a journalist. A vicious circle.

The timing screen says Vettel's last lap was 18:34.070.

by Nate Saunders 3/1/2015 9:52:01 AM
Also, Alonso vs Vettel at Silverstone was awesome

by The Power of Dreams 3/1/2015 9:52:05 AM
I have just found the most disturbing picture of a Formula One driver I've ever seen.

by Nate Saunders 3/1/2015 9:52:57 AM
by Nate Saunders 3/1/2015 9:53:18 AM
amazing everyone seems to remember interesting from last season but there are still those who said 2014 was boring. though I have an idea who those are and I cam tell you are the shumi and ferarri era fans

by McNeil Ntando Mdluli 3/1/2015 9:54:01 AM
Wow. The timing screens really on top frm today as Perez crosses in a 44:31.222.

by Nate Saunders 3/1/2015 9:54:33 AM
Hopefully that wasn't a qualifying sim from the Force India.

by Nate Saunders 3/1/2015 9:54:49 AM
Admit it, Nate...that was your first paddock gig. Rubdown Guy.

by mfbull 3/1/2015 9:56:02 AM
@mfbull: I took the picture.

by Nate Saunders 3/1/2015 9:56:07 AM
#blessed #rub

by Nate Saunders 3/1/2015 9:56:16 AM
Vettel returns to the pits in his Ferrari. Still can't work out if there's a new shade of red on that Ferrari from last week's test as my eyes seems to deceive me every time.

by Nate Saunders 3/1/2015 9:57:34 AM
What's happening with McLaren ,any updates?

by parsik 3/1/2015 9:59:52 AM
@parsik: Nothing so far. I assume this whole delay is so McLaren can assemble the greatest tweet ever.

by Nate Saunders 3/1/2015 10:00:18 AM
Is this a night driving session or what? The latest times are posted as at 00.25 this morning!

by MikeInDenmark 3/1/2015 10:03:07 AM
@MikeInDenmark: I noticed that. Times have been updated and corrected accordingly. I'm glad today doesn't go on until midnight.

by Nate Saunders 3/1/2015 10:03:38 AM
Ah! The time has just jumped 10 hours! :-) and now to 11:00

by MikeInDenmark 3/1/2015 10:03:39 AM
@MikeInDenmark: Anyone seen Interstellar? We're doing that.

There you go, looks like an ERS problem for Ricciardo this morning.

by Nate Saunders 3/1/2015 10:04:47 AM
I was just looking at a picture of that unusual looking aero rake Toro Rosso were running at the rear of Verstappen's car and noticed how big their airbox intake is. That thing could almost fit Max's helmet in there if it wasn't for the divider!

by Norbert Haug 3/1/2015 10:05:24 AM
Here's a picture of the aero rake Toro Rosso has on it's car

by Nate Saunders 3/1/2015 10:06:01 AM
Ferrari has some new reds. Had a piece of inform from one of Italian website for F1. Front wing

by rockedin123 3/1/2015 10:06:48 AM
@rockedin123: You....you read other F1 websites? I'm devastated.

by Nate Saunders 3/1/2015 10:07:21 AM
Nate, I'm sure there's a reason for this but why don't you guys update the timing screens with the tyres the respective drivers did their best times with?

by Red 3/1/2015 10:07:28 AM
@Red: Because we're only a two man team it's impossible to update the timing screens manually every five minutes, say, especially if the guy at the circuit is not in the press room. We try to update every half hour.

by Nate Saunders 3/1/2015 10:08:18 AM
Is this like that white/gold vs. blue/black dress thing? Aero rake?

by mfbull 3/1/2015 10:08:55 AM
@mfbull: It's the airbox behind the drivers head. Toro Rosso's is split into three segments.

by Nate Saunders 3/1/2015 10:09:09 AM
How come the airboxes have exploded in size so much over the winter?

by Dennis van den Bos 3/1/2015 10:10:07 AM
@DennisvandenBos: They're not all as big as that. It's clearly one area Toro Rosso thinks it can gain some time.

by Nate Saunders 3/1/2015 10:10:32 AM
@Nate: No this was a big one on the left rear. It went from the center-line to the top of the rear wing and out to the edge of the rear tyres. Perhaps it was earlier?

by Norbert Haug 3/1/2015 10:11:20 AM
@NorbertHaug: Ah, an aero sensor. You did say rake in fairness. I'll try and find a picture. Last time I looked for a picture of Verstappen the results were horrifying.

by Nate Saunders 3/1/2015 10:11:51 AM
Does it follow that they are running smaller side pods (taking less air in elsewhere)?

by mfbull 3/1/2015 10:11:55 AM
@mfbull: Cooling the power units will be a huge issue this year.

by Nate Saunders 3/1/2015 10:12:06 AM
Bottas has gone quickest with a 1:25.099 on the unmarked tyre.

by Nate Saunders 3/1/2015 10:13:18 AM
Was there any other problem with the McLaren other than 'oil leak' problem?? What taking the team so long to resolve the oil leak issue?

by Sharath Nagendra 3/1/2015 10:13:27 AM
@SharathNagendra: I'm not sure if its related to that. The team said this morning it was going through system checks.

by Nate Saunders 3/1/2015 10:13:42 AM
@Nate: "Last time I looked for a picture of Verstappen the results were horrifying" Agreed ;P

by Norbert Haug 3/1/2015 10:14:25 AM
I'm still baffled why that would go online. The company in question is a Red Bull client but a picture of a 17-year-old getting a massage like that seems a little suspect.
