Lunch break times from day 3 at Jerez. It would seem Ralf is doing his best impression of a useless twit. While big brother is probably laughing att he other end of the pitlane thinking, "i'm getting paid 5 times as much to do 5 times less, and i'm still faster" Roll Eyes

i think he had some tachnical issues during the day.

i never really take winter testing times to seriously.  everyone is trying something very different, wheather it be new aero stuff, tyres, running different fuel etc.

I've got to find out some reasons for schumi's poor time, I know he was running slicks, but whether or not that was with 09 downforce like some have done is not known. Tomorrow his time is all that matters. Possibly the last time he'll drive the car this year so will wanna go out with a bang. Smiley

as thought schumi's slick times were all wasted on the 2009 monza setup.

true, and I know he's only there to help out with these systems, but I'd like to see him getting a hot run every day. That time was set in the morning the rest of the day was 09 work. Roll Eyes One report said Schumi was following Piquet and racing him for several laps, but he wasn't pushing, eventually Piquet had to give up because he couldn't keep up the pace and let schumi by.

Ralf now seems to have thrown in the towel. He said today he didn't want to be there and was doing it as a favour. I think he's done in F1.
