F1 2010: Testing sessions thread

from the autosport live blog

12:56 And speaking of lunch, Michael Schumacher had some pasta at Ferrari's hospitality yesterday

Why is he having lunch with Ferrari?
Why can't he stick with the Mercedes crew and leave that past association behind. And that goes withthe red helmet thing as well.
If I was Mercedes GP, I'd be pissed. At this early stage he needs to show more loyalty/interest to the team that he is with, not having lunch over at his old team and cajoling with their staff. Don't like it one bit!

Leopards don't change their spots!

Over 51,000 people attended the tests. Wow.

Yep..better than the £100 Silverstone wants from me to stand. Think i'll sit...in front of the TV instead thanks!!

So Fernando, in his first test for the Scuderia, sets a 1:11.470, the second fastest car sets a 1:12.094.

Oh look, thats 6/10ths.

I don't think that Mercedes cares, more important is that Michael drives fast.

On lap 2 of a massive 8-lap stint....must have been really heavily fuelled ;)

To be fair, testing at Silverstone is normally only £10, or at least it was when testing was still allowed during the English summer. 3 or 4 years ago it was free!
