    Montmelo Test 13-15th May


    Whats meant by " breaking down" ?

    Is this an aero sensor or thermal one?

    Kimi Räikkönen failed to set a time after he stopped on his second lap of running with smoke trailing from the rear of his Ferrari F14T.

    With some luck it is just an oil leak or such but could be worse.

    That doesn't look good. But better in testing than race.

    For all the break downs we've had during testing, we're still the most reliable PU during race weekends

    Oh dear! This is a critical test for us. Hopefully it's nothing major.

    Major is sort of a relative term. No doubt they can fix the problem, but they cannot get the testing time back. Looks like Ferrari will have 1 day of testing not two.

    Our boys are working hard to fix the problem , some are reporting that in order to change the PU they need around 9 hours
    I hope we manage to get some runs by the end of the day.

    Still no sign of Raikkonen or Vergne after they caused red flags this morning. Just two laps each completed

    Kimi is the only one not to set a lap time so far. Perfect.


    Disappointing; 2009 to 2016...

    We asked for in season testing and we havent tested much today and also on the last Bahrain test. Kind of embarassing if you ask me.

    Well, this demonsrtates without any doubt that Ferrari needs to be allowed to upgrade the PU based on reliability reasons.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but we didn't drive much today
    ... 10 laps better than 0
    ... nice smoke machine ... at least we can offer for discotheque ... "I have a Ferrari in my discotheque"
    "If I was driving for Red Bull [from 2008] probably I would have more championships, but because they were dominating between 2010 and 2014 probably I would never have driven for Ferrari. I am very happy and very proud to drive for Ferrari, all my time there.

    Maybe the design team realized that nothing can make the F14T so they decided to cut it in half.

    And apparently it worked, Kimi with the fastest time.
