This will more then likely change before Saturday quali... Wink

Well, number 3 is entirely plausible given Sauber's pre-season runs, and Kobayashi acquitting himself quite well compared to most debutants at then end of 09.

Todays autosport has a theoretical fastest single lap chart from a 90 second lap using Barca testing.
Out front is Mark webber. Followed by Hulkenberg, rosberg, schumacher and hamilton all in a very tight group. Then Barrichello, Massa, De la Rosa, sutil, Vettel, Buemi, Alonso, Button and Liuzzi.
All of these are grouped within 1.5 seconds. Webber appears to have maybe a 3 tenth gap on everyone else, then theres a further tiny gap from Hulk back to Alonso.
It might mean very little in the grand scheme of things, but Renault are a long way off that pack with Petrov being the quicker of the two, but Renault never got much low fuel running so not much to be seen there. Lotus and Virgin as expected are a long way back, with Lotus having the edge.

It all means nothing until the red lights go out on Sunday, Mercedes have a diffuser up their sleeve apparently, Mclaren's "Left-leg-operated-honestly-it's-not-mechanical-guv" drag reducing wing and no doubt other teams as yet unseen aero devices will probably surprise us all. Mitch's prediction might not seem so silly... look at last year.

I think I said it elsewhere, but the Merc Diffusor is supposed to have brought 8 tenths of performance in the car after a test at rockingham. How much there is to that we'll find out..
The Mclaren thing is ingenious but very complicated to understand in terms of how it's legal. But fair play to them, this could be this years double diffusor. As Whitmarsh has said, teams will try and copy it, but it will be very difficult to do as they have had to have their tubs/chassis homologised for the year. So where mclaren implemented it into that, the others will have to work around it.

The new track is a joke. 1:55 laps. This will end up going almost 2 hours.
The cars, who knows, aside from seeing the new teams 7 seconds off the pace, Rosberg is looking good this weekend.

The new section does look a bit Mickey Mouseish. Doesn't really add anything of note at all, other than time.

It's also taken away the challenging and fun, left, right, left down the hill.

Ah, but aren't you glad to see another set of Tilkesque slow, painful, dull corners ruining a nice bit of track? Grin

oh most definitly. Cheesy

The only interesting side is, Brakes will be at the point of exploding by the last 10 laps, it was close enough last year, now it'll be interesting to see who goes bang.
