Jerez Test 7th-10th Feb 2012 - news and pics

[FIAT PALIO]

Thanks mate. I'm faithfull since 1993. Let's wait and see...

Good to see that.

[Jose-Lorca Fan]

A lot of fiddling going on with that car, i'm pretty sure there are so many solution that they want to try, and they'll be doing just that until the very last minute of day 4 at Jerez. They're just testing to see which of their solutions work and which don't, after that i'm sure they'll form a single setup on which they'll base further developments on.

One thing I don't understand. How come and why we did just 69 laps yesterday?! Since testing is limited, why not use these testing as much as possible?

FORZA FERRARI!!!

I remember in previous seasons we were the ones with most millage in preseason testing.

Guys please try to keep this civil.... most of us want to read the thread to find out news about what Ferrari and other teams are currently doing, not read arguments between forum members....

Thanks!

[zeus2]

For those interested. Massa on a longer run now (11 laps and going). times don't look too bad.

[FIAT PALIO]

we are corelating all the data from tunnel with real world testing............We are not here for glory runs

Exactly, I come here to see what's happening with testing and have to read thru a whole lot of doom and gloom ...lets hope this thread improves tomorrow as I come her first since I don't have time to browse all the other sites for updates.

G'night all,

[OSS EL BOSS]

It seems that we moved from a car that cant heat the tyres up ot a car that eats the tyres.

[NJB13]

Does anyone know what compound we are using for this run?

[Hombre B]

[Ferrari312T4]

I'm guessing they have to change parts between runs to evaluate its peformance. Hence the lower milage. I'm not so much concerned about us being off the pace. Testing is to try out many solutions. And i'm happy to see they haven't run out of solutions yet....

[NJB13]

Frankly I'm surprised they are able to do as many laps as they have and at the speeds they have run at for such a radically different car to what they are used to.

Massa's first long run (12 laps).

1:20.793 (60)
1:21.391 (61)
1:22.737 (62)
1:21.874 (63)
1:22.859 (64)
1:22.748 (65)
1:23.145 (66)
1:22.474 (67)
1:22.877 (68)
1:22.586 (69)
1:23.331 (70)

Not as quick as the bulls but considering its the first long run, I suspect theres still a lot of improvement to come with setup. Don't know what tyres they're on though.

You don't even know the fuel loads, if they were using KERS, DRS, and most importantly if Felipe is driving on 100%. Tooooo many variables.

[Chicane]

They did 70 laps on day two??

[Chicane]

or only 38 laps for today's test..How come only 38 if its 38

[wacc]

Its 75 laps today.

75. Today.

Just stating that the times aren't as fast as what the red bull is currently running (for information sake), not saying we are slower, gosh. Is anyone interested in the testing going on or are we just here to whine and counter whine?

Massa on another run improves on his best time. 5 laps down and on red bull pace soo far.

[wacc]

Felipe's driving is now more agressive.

It can be me being paranoid... sorry. There was an huge amount of whining about our performance based on testing times, that I am seeing it even in "harmless" post.

[Forza 27]

According to AMuS, the first veredict of C. Whiting, related to the different exhausts variants, is that, all are legal.

Thanks, good to hear.

Here's hoping no more complains and U turn by the FIA

[Jose-Lorca Fan]

Red Bull crying a river at this very moment.

No probs, misunderstandings happen. We seem to be focussing on long runs now, Massa probably getting his initial setups dialed in before nando takes over.

Oh it's nice to hear mate.Wish it becomes %100 true and they stop crying

[Chicane]

Wow Massive 75 laps..Great reliability and Great mileage for Data Mining..

Hope Those Data's are Good..

Fernando Alonso will be on Duty Tom..Lets see what he can do..

I guess we're screwed then .
