Jerez Testing (finally)

**Stebandelareina** · 31st January 2014, 15:40

It's very good to read the amount of laps of Alonso today. Have we done a race simulation today? I read that Rosberg did.

**Forzi** · 31st January 2014, 15:42

For now:

1. Massa Williams 1:29.023 83
2. Alonso Ferrari 1:29.145 +0.122 115
3. Juncadella Force India 1:30.176 +1.153 77
4. Magnussen McLaren 1:30.806 +1.783 108
5. Hamilton Mercedes GP 1:30.822 +1.799 40
6. Bianchi Marussia F1 1:35.589 +6.566 21
7. Sutil Sauber 1:36.571 +7.548 69
8. Rosberg Mercedes GP 1:36.951 +7.928 91
9. Kobayashi Caterham 1:43.193 +14.170 54
10. Kvyat Toro Rosso 1:44.016 +14.993 8
11. Ricciardo Red Bull Racing 1:45.374 +16.351 7

15:37 Alonso meanwhile is up to 113 laps for the day - 20 more than the entire field managed just 72 hours ago.

**Nova** · 31st January 2014, 15:43

113 laps for Alonso...good running for Ferrari.

hard to tell with all the pit ins and outs but I'm sure the team will tell us if they did do a race sim

**Sempre_Ferrari** · 31st January 2014, 15:46

115 laps and pit

**Hornet** · 31st January 2014, 15:49

It's good to see we are putting in all the laps. So far everything hints that the Merc camp will be formidable rivals. Certainly can't count Red Bull out too. We need to keep working on producing a car as reliable and fast as them, and our driver will do the rest.

**Sempre_Ferrari** · 31st January 2014, 15:50

I bet TR wish they had stayed with Ferrari power right about now...

**Nero Horse** · 31st January 2014, 15:50

It's fantastic to see the great number of laps completed by Alonso but can someone tell me why are the lap times much slower today than in the previous days? Is it wet and cold there today or what?

**Forzi** · 31st January 2014, 15:50

Red flag. It's the Toro Rosso.

Must say these Renaults are ridiculous. They need to pull them selves together for Bahrain BADLY.

I think Franz Tost is beating himself at the moment,on the other hand is good for us not giving our powertrain to Red Bull no.2team

I'm glad that RB can't see our engine mounted.

**Nova** · 31st January 2014, 15:56

Looks like we may be done for the day.

**Stebandelareina** · 31st January 2014, 15:56

Red flag, magnussen crashed. Nothing serious

I think main reason that TR dont have our engine is because we didnt want them to have it...

makes real sense considering the ip they could have spirited off to the main rb team

**Forzi** · 31st January 2014, 16:05

So it's the end of Jerez:

1 Massa (Williams) 1m28.229s, 86 laps
2 Alonso (Ferrari) 1m29.145s, 115 laps
3 Juncadella (Force India) 1m29.457s, 81 laps
4 Magnussen (McLaren) 1m30.806s, 110 laps
5 Hamilton (Mercedes) 1m30.822s, 41 laps
6 Bianchi (Marussia) 1m32.222s, 25 laps
7 Sutil (Sauber) 1m36.571s, 69 laps
8 Rosberg (Mercedes) 1m36.951s 91 laps
9 Kobayashi (Caterham) 1m43.193s, 54 laps
10 Kvyat (Toro Rosso) 1m44.016s, 9 laps
11 Ricciardo (Red Bull) 1m45.374s, 7 laps

**Hornet** · 31st January 2014, 16:05

Torro Rosso is pretty much the the B team of Red Bull where they test out young talent. Every info shared with them will probably go directly to Renault where RB benefits from.

**Nova** · 31st January 2014, 16:08

I think things went pretty good for Ferrari, good running, decent times.
Appears we didnt have a lot of issues, so, not bad considering.

**Forzi** · 31st January 2014, 16:10

Funny how it's Caterham that got the most of these tests out of the Renault teams.

good point, never thought of it that way

**tifosi1993** · 31st January 2014, 16:34

115 laps without any kind of technical problem or teething issues, definitely an excellent day today. Team is "reasonably happy" and 059/3 managed over 400 laps without a failure. So overall, strong four days for Ferrari in Jerez.

Bring on Bahrain!

**Red is Best** · 31st January 2014, 16:37

Do we know how many laps we managed on a single tank?

**tifosi1993** · 31st January 2014, 16:41
