Bahrain testing 27 Feb-2 Mar

[Schumiklub]

I hate Autosport, they don't even bother to mention Ferrari and their current lap times, yet Hamilton is followed on a lap-by-lap basis!

Alonso is doing a race simulation. He started on softs and is now running with the medium compound.

How is Red Bull doing today??

29 laps;
6 Ricciardo Red Bull 1m39.155s +3.585

So .. hangin' in there..

You woke me up with that comment, they love Lewis Hamilton and so do UK sky sports presenters, any way

I am starting to think that Renault and RB is doing this on purpose so they can get permission to make changes to power unit. After Jerez Renault said that they are 2-3 weeks behind and now they are asking two months.
One more thing I dont understand is how is possible that after all changes that was necessary to make they are still in such trouble!? After first Bahrain test Renault said that they are ready to make race distance and they are telling this today and yet RB is not capable to do more than 10-12 laps in the row!
They are making more and more lies about their situation...
Anyone knows where the hell are this updates for ours car!? New, actually modified 2013 first wing, is not such a big update! Hope we are hiding few more things for last two days.

Thanks for the info, it's a pity we don't have the ability so see how good his lap times are during the race simulation.

We all get an extension or no one does.

I thought one of the main reason for Red Bull issues is not down to the Engine but due to Adrian Newey designing the car to tight therefore compromising the cooling situation.

Nice lap count by Alonso, hopefully we get 100+.

With Kimi having his last day in the car tomorrow I wonder if they will do race sim in the morning then quali sim in the afternoon.

[Domo-kun]

And end of the day for Lotus:

12:30 Lotus confirms that Maldonado is out for the rest of the day.
@Lotus_F1Team: "Sufficient char-grilling to render us out for the rest of today. Causation investigations continue."

[fronaldo]

I love when all medias underestimate Ferrari...and we strike back on race day..

[LivingHitokiri]

Nothing bad happened. Everything seems to be going as planned, lots of laps being done today

Nice nice,i hope we keep up with this , things are looking good for us.

Would be good to look at lap times for this race simulation compared to Mercedes, if that is possible.

Of course is just an excuse,and we as Ferrari should stop this mockery of F1,they can leave if they want,nobody would miss them,Honda and Cosworth are around the Corner.They were never interested in Fairness,they let FOTA down,abused fia cost cap, protest every Team as soon as they have something dangerous for them and they come out clean each time just because thy are Lobbying the FIA(something that Ferrari and Mercedes could do too,and the dont) and they pretend Fairness???No Chance!!!!

[RedPassion]

Jokers,lobbying all the time,im ashamed if FIA let this pass.

Not available yet, but I'm sure someone is recording them and hopefully they'll be available later on.

Couldn't agree more, they fail to recognise THAT YEAR AFTER YEAR it is only Ferrari who gives a fight! We ensure that the championship is taken to the last race!!!!

15:45 Alonso 1'43" 8 and continues in its long run.
15:42 Alonso, 1'43"940.
15:37 Perez pit stops. Massa also that we said who was complicated tire. Alonso makes a "high now 1'42.
15:34 A 1'42 "means Alonso. Meanwhile, Pérez surprised with time 1'41" means. I do not know exactly how many leads and turns, but is fairly constant.
15:33 Alonso makes a 1'42 "high now.
15:31 Hamilton and Ricciardo to the pits. Alonso is a 1'42 "low. Has stabilized a good record, always thinking race.
15:29 Another 1'42 "under Alonso, while Hamilton now about a 1'41" tall.
15:27 Hamilton is in his 1'40 "medium, while Alonso now marks a 1'42" 127. On the next lap, Hamilton goes up to 1'42 "5. Really difficult to draw conclusions.
15:26 Alonso passes from 1'41 "to 1'42" and on the last lap to 1'43 ".

That would be good.

Just nine away my friends...

That could still be the main reason.

Maybe also they have a decent engine, but are pushing for better performance so now they are running into trouble that they can't find a solution for.

[Ed Harley]

RBR have started to find some speed.

[mizf1]

Rb doing quali sims?

Sky

Another PB for Ricciardo (1:36.340s) puts him third fastest. Just three laps for the Red Bull though in that run.

This one has been by far the most up to date today - F1Today is still miles behind and caranddriverf1 is too.

No news here, just times:

I must be honest, I was one of those to whom F14-T nose was ugly. Looking more and more at tha car on the track it starting to look more and more meaner

Yes I agree, it vaguely reminds me of the noses from the 50's Ferraris and we all know how good they were!

Still three seconds off Rosberg's time last week. That's not speed, yet!
