According to La Stampa Ferrari admits they dont have the fastest car but has reliability strengths and consumption which will be decisive..

Because there wasn't any damage. Nothing more than a scrape.

Alonso now done 30 laps

**Domo-kun** · 28th February 2014, 08:22

08:18 @nasce1 asks: Why does Kimi keep getting hampered during testing?
EDD STRAW: "Just the usual trials and tribulations of winter testing. It is true that Raikkonen has been a little unfortunate with his milage, but that will just be luck of the draw."

Did I read it correctly Autosport site said at 7.31, Hamilton drove through the gravel on purpose as a test. Knowing full well it would activate a Red flag.

I'm sure Mercedes were joking about that, no one drives thru a gravel trap as a test, too much could go wrong and could end up being very costly

**medeni73** · 28th February 2014, 08:32

Alonso on track and again with the new wing

**emirBoz** · 28th February 2014, 08:33

red flag button

**tifosi1993** · 28th February 2014, 08:34

AMUS: 11:29 And then the session is interrupted again. Alonso had just driven a best first sector. We look who comes back everything.

McLaren ...

**medeni73** · 28th February 2014, 08:34

and Alonso with absolute best first sector time :(

**sachin** · 28th February 2014, 08:35

08:33 That's a poorly-timed stoppage for Ferrari in particular, as Alonso had just set the best time through the first sector so far today.

Do you detect an air of arrogance.

Good!
Let the rivals be unaware of our pace and then we Bulldoze them in australia

I hope that arrogance will backfire at them and slap 'em in the face, HARD!

**Hornet** · 28th February 2014, 08:40

Seems like we're pounding in the laps today. Lets hope we won't get many red flags

**Ferris** · 28th February 2014, 08:41

Those video's are great. You can clearly hear the engine coming back to life just before the apex ready for the exit. Looks stable into the braking area, but difficult to tell how good the traction is without seeing other cars, particularly at that video angle and the second video Alonso is clearly not on it.

Ditto

Indeed, and as Stefa said, it could come back to bite them...

**mizf1** · 28th February 2014, 08:45

Hopefully we can get 100+ laps in today.

Here is the Red Bull

**evo_spook** · 28th February 2014, 08:49

Joking about going into a gravel trap is arrogant?

**Rishu** · 28th February 2014, 08:49

Comparing the two, Alonso was back on gas just a fraction earlier than Ricciardo

**Ferris** · 28th February 2014, 08:50

Holy !!! That thing is all over the place.
I don't support RB obviously but even I felt sorry for them hearing and looking at that thing.

It seems that they are months behind.
