    No need to be sorry mate. I wasn't sure about it either as I didn't follow testing this week as closely as before.

    I don't think we can make ultimate conclusions based on one quick laptime, especially as there isn't a comparison with most of the rivals from the same day (=same conditions).

    James Allen's blog is fast-becoming one of the better places for F1 news, and he reckons that McLaren's time isn't actually that impressive:

    However, when you look at the long run times, the picture is not so encouraging for them. In comparable runs, albeit on different days, Button does a 10 lap run on Tuesday with laps mainly in the high 1m 18s and a couple of high 1m 19s.

    Meanwhile yesterday Kova did only one long run, a 12 lapper, which was mainly in the low 1m 20s. So on that basis, McLaren is still some way behind on the long runs.

    It is not, Dave. Kaz got 1.17.4 today in an impressive run for Williams.
