3rd Winter test, Barcelona 2013

[Bubbles]

Maybe they let the car run out of fuel.

[varun]

Fire Extinguishers ?
not again..

[medeni73]

Although he had pretty "heavy long run" laps just before stopping...Maybe another stress test?

[Ste]

Fire extinguisher will be precautionary. He's done 60 odd laps in a row...the car will be very hot!

[fronaldo]

please just run out of fuels..

[Hornet]

Strange that Massa stopped on the curb rather than on the extra road at the side. Wonder if something broken which suddenly stopped the car?

That's not where driver would stop if they can help it.

[SanderV]

Was just gonna say how happy i was about Massa's number of laps... Judging by his body language it was not a fuel test.

[Jose Lorca]

It has to be fuel, he did 67 consecutive laps before stopping

[NickEice]

Well let's look on the bright side, atleast there are no 110 lap races this year

Whatever it was, they'll fix it.

[tifosi1993]

Run out of fuel me thinks

[SinanOzerS]

That was ran out of fuel test.

[Super M]

[medeni73]

definitely something was wrong

[SanderV]

Doesn't mean much probably

[bluesilhouettes]

Lotus is using channel below the exhaust like RB.

[SanderV]

Good thing they don't broadcast every test, for I wouldn't be able to do any work

[alex1s]

definitely something was wrong

if it is...better now than in Melbourne on Sunday afternoon

[varun]

Good thing they don't broadcast every test, for I wouldn't be able to do any work

Same here!

[Aberracus]

Im sorry to say but don't think it was Fuel,

Look at Massa's last laps:
1:35.491 (109
1:36.321 (110)
1:37.969 (111)

It appeared he was losing power

Calm down mate.Rob Smedley said it was fuel-out test.

[Aberracus]

Oh Thanks God!

[shamim179]

Massa's long runs look impressive!

I'll say this again but Ferrari are looking good! The situation is so different to last year's testing. We really are competitive this time!

[Massimo]

Calm down mate.Rob Smedley said it was fuel-out test.

He did? judging by where the engineers where looking, i go for a rear suspension problem

[Nick Singer]

Well, 112 laps - best of the day, just pipped by HAM - and no obvious major issues so pretty pleasing I'd say!

I'm just pleased that we seem to have built a basically good/ fast car and have avoided repeating the nightmare we had this time last year. Let's see what ALO does tomorrow - and how the rest of the test goes - but, roll on Australia

[ferrari4life]

did I miss something or is Massa 5 seconds behind Webbers time? Why is this a good thing?

[FerrariF60]

according to this:

http://www.yourweather.co.uk/weather...a--1-1683.html

there is supposed to be more rain tomorrow, but sunny both sat and sunday
i just hope tomorrow will change a bit and be more dry then WET, we sure need all the DRY weather we can get to get ALL parts (hopefully LOTS of them) tested and assesed properly

[FerrariF60]

did I miss something or is Massa 5 seconds behind Webbers time? Why is this a good thing?

i think webber set his best time on the soft tire, while felipe set his on medium...also felipe concentrated more on LONG runs
he may of NOT used soft tire either...but dont' know for sure

[Forzi]

did I miss something or is Massa 5 seconds behind Webbers time? Why is this a good thing?

Because he ran the slower tire, did race simulations till the very last lap and overal, didn't do no 2 or 4 lap runs like Webber did. Also, Felipe didn't get the chance to do a fast lap late when the track was getting better and better.
