Kimi testing on day1 at Jerez

[tweety bird]

i logged in this morning to see.

Michael Schumacher quickest on day two at Jerez with 2011 Mercedes F1 car

............... no way.

Michael Schumacher set the pace on the second day's testing at Jerez as Mark Webber led the way for Red Bull in F1's 2012-spec cars.Schumacher,

driving last year's Mercedes W02 in full trim so that the team could gain as much information about Pirelli's 2012 tyres from a stable platform, set a 1m18.561s

lap during the morning that no one came close to beating for the rest of the day.

Webber's time also came in the morning as much of the paddock chose to focus on longer runs in the afternoon.

The Australian's 1m19.184s would remain the fastest time anyone has set in one of the new cars brought to Spain this week.

Daniel Ricciardo impressed in the Toro Rosso, going third fastest in the STR7, having completed 100 laps of fairly trouble-free running. He set his best time around the same period as his

compatriot when the track conditions appeared to be at their best.

Jules Bianchi began his Force India career with a fine fourth fastest in the VJM05 before handing over to Paul di Resta for the afternoon and the Scot would complete 69 laps in that time to set

the sixth fastest lap behind yesterday's fastest man Kimi Raikkonen.

The Finn had a couple of offs today in the Lotus. The first came early in the morning when he ran wide at Dry Sack and required a new plank. He then had another excursion very late in the day

as he found the limits of this generation of cars.

He still managed 117 laps, and also got to try out a different steering rack after he found yesterday's one not to his liking.

Ferrari was again far from the top of the timesheet, and late in the day was employing flow-vis to study the effects of aero over Fellipe Massa's rear wing. The Brazilian's time of 1m20.454s was 1.893s off the top time.

Jenson Button was eighth quickest in the McLaren, and like Ferrari, was not seeking any headline performance as it worked on improving the MP4-27.

Sauber's Sergio Perez was tenth in the Sauber ahead of Pastor Maldonado, who spent the day working on reliability with the Williams FW34.

Heikki Kovalainen was slowest of the drivers equipped with 2012 machinery but completed a whopping 139 laps for Caterham as he gathered plenty of information.

Pedro de la Rosa completed HRT's running by setting a 1m22.128s, just 0.618s off the pace of Kovalainen.

Kimi testing on day1 at Jerez

The whole time, I was just staring at the step nose.. sigh, its going to be a fun year.

[ctjet]

aside from this blight that has befallen the grid

im still living in hope of good racing

this all RBR front row isnt going to work for me 2 years in a row

[Marco-R34GTT]

<br />So.<br /><br />Sky sport in australia? No dice?<br />

<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Yeah so what is the deal here??<br /><br />Is ONEHD's contract with the BBC now null and void given that Sky Sports now has the live rights (well mostly, I don't really understand this crack-pot scenario)... Does that mean foxtel is an inevitable requirement?? Edited February 9, 2012 by Marco-R34GTT

[Jasonr31]

Good question.

Also, Where is finger boy?

[N1GTR]

Ok, the timing app STILL isnt available from the itunes store. What a truly shit go that is, must have something to do with all the Vodafone logo's on it.

I've emailed OneHD about coverage, will relay their reply if I get one

[NISMATT]

Doesn't the 2011 app just roll over? Same as last year?

[N1GTR]

No - and it's pretty fkn stupid that it doesnt. Each year you have to download the new one then delete the old one.

[ctjet]

look whos back

na na na na na

[tweety bird]

they have racing numbers this year?

[N1GTR]

The Tool is down to a 20.3 already. Gonzo at 22.712. Wish there was proper live timing on the app for this, which would need the 2012 app first

[N1GTR]

they have racing numbers this year?

As opposed to least year, when they had numbers too? lol

RB7

MP4-26

[N1GTR]

Wow Grosjean down to 18.8 on his 24th lap

[N1GTR]
