Here's the line-up for the Jerez test
http://www.f1zone.net/news/jerez-test-line-up/17633/

FYI, Rossiter is Force India's simulator driver and he's testing the car to provide feedback in simulator/reality benchmarking.

nothing exceptional but only for not having a stepped nose, it's very welcomed

Gotta agree with you there, STR is the most generic and boring team in F1 right now.

Toro Rosso indeed looks nice. To be honest, I think all cars look pretty tasty so far!

Which races? IIRC there was Valencia, where quite a few struggled and McLaren struggled anyway. And Korea, when the rollbar went and made the steering horrible.


Canada he did another pitstop than those around him.....

Worked out pretty well tbh :p

Mercedes definitely looks a trifle strange from some angles, the engine cover especially ... that'll be the double DRS though, presumably ...

EDIT: I thought I could see the Double DRS pipes in one photo, but now I don't seem to be able to ...

And Lewis unfortunatley, as always destroys the tires in 5 laps


This is one of the biggest myths in Formula One. Lewis does not destroy his tyres at a higher rate than his rivals.


Really? Because every week we hear Lewis on the radio complaining he has no tyres left, long before others. A couple of races he even did extra stops.


i'm a huge fan of lewis hamilton and will testify that yes, these new tires are a bane for lewis. if he were racing in an era where his talent of driving the car just on the edge with a loose/oversteer setup he would be having the success vettel is having. unfortunately the f1 technology and regs have favored a very particular style of driving the past couple of years much to lewis' detriment. lewis has been trying to change his style, but for him it means hoding back where he would normally push and attack. its against his instincts and is undoubtedly frustrating for him.

the current f1 package also means that no amount of talent can push or overcome the deficiencies of a car. it was said that dale earnhardt "could take a 10th place car and finish 2nd or 3rd." i believe lewis has that kind of talent, but f1 racing doesnt favor that kind of driving right now and he's having a difficult time adjusting.

I don't care for the marussia livery, it's dull to me. It does also seem worryingly void of major sponsors.
