A productive day for Ferrar, at last, 122 laps covered today.
Perhaps one of their cars will finish the race in Oz, I bet it will be Alonsos.

Mia, Mia Mia Mia. Both Ferrari challengers are going to show up in Australia with new everything as you would expect for the first race on the first engine of a designated number that are supposed to last al races or penaltys. Kimi an Santyander will both do well in Oz, unless Slash or Igor, or even freakin Grosjean. and Perez :laugh: Everyone has to mess with them. But I think the synergism between Kimi and Fred will be Royal noble and stately. Plus I think that they would just as soon keep it like that. I mean bthey are not special when it comes to dynamic and strategic pairings, like untill someone or both on McLaren totally implode. All I am saying is any freakin' thing could happen in F1 2014, hell they are just having the time of their live s complete with a long series of very entertaing partys!!Quote:

The Renault teams seem to be 'turning up' the engines now and are beginning to go faster. I wonder how long they can last though on that setting? Vettel managed half a lap this morning before breaking down again.
It's getting comical, only one day of testing remaining after today and vettel has managed 4 corners. Tried to go out again later and didn't even make the end of the pit lane. The max they've done in all testing so far is 20 laps. On current form they'll be lucky to make the race. I'm sure they'll run better come Melbourne, but they only have a couple of weeks
Yes, its looking grim for Red Bull at the moment, but things can change rapidly come Oz.
Yup a whole day and Red Bull manage 0 laps.
I thought after the first test that Red Bull would be on top of issues by this stage. But lets be honest, this is now looking tough.
Come Australia I cant say they are very likely to last a race distance. They might get up there in Qualifying, but its tough to only be doing a max of 20 laps in a row in testing and head to Oz needing to do best part of 60.
Confidence will be low now.
9 cars only to finish.
It says a lot about Red Bull's situation when even Toro Rosso and Caterham (with exactly the same engines) are getting more mileage.Quote:

I was just listening to a Vergne interview and he stated, he believes if you finish in the first few races, you will be in the points. i.e 6-10 finishers.
Then a team member said its going to be carnage like we haven't seen for some time.
This is exciting! :crazy:
Enjoy it while it lasts! This time next year (or long before) it will be back to humdrum super duper reliability, Codemasters F1 style... until 2020.
Red Bull broken again this morning.
It's not only the reliability which must be a concern to the teams, but the fact that when they have a problem it often takes a whole day to fix it. That's not gonna work on a GP weekend!
