F1 2013 Testing

[truefan72]

I guess its fair to start a thread for these sessions ( and perhaps the 1 or 22 in seasons tests if they do occur)
And of course, I'll start off with my obligatory question of;
"Will there be any streams for any of these tests? or are we resigned to yet another year of twitter feeds, and the occasional youtube video here and there"

and despite Force India's early statements, it does look like there will be an on track shootout between Bianchi and Rossiter, probably for that vacant seat, if Senna doesn't swoop in with his trucks of cash. or they come to their senses and hire either sutil or kobayashi. also its good to see all 11 teams showing up for the first test.

Oops the title is wrong Truefan, should be 2013

Bad start for McLaren with Jenson breaking down so early on. Hopefully it won't be another unreliable year for them. Nice to see the top teams out on track so early this year though, rather than keeping us all waiting half a day like last year. Williams running a 2012 spec car too.

On the plus side, it looks like the Mercedes Coanda exhaust is blowing in the right direction:


I wonder how long Marussia are going to leave it to decide who is going to be driving their car the day after tomorrow. I can probably get the day off work if they're really stuck
