The Barrichello numbers seem to be off.

Gascoyne said that today Fisi would be on a "similar program" to Liuzzi's of the previous day--but after only 45 laps GF is over three seconds quicker.

Thanks for the updates!

Good to know:

Rubens, Fisi and maybe Glock were using slick tires and 2008 aero when they set their fastest laps.

Felipe, Hamilton,Alonso, Heidfeld and I suppose Rosberg too were testing 2008 configurations with grooved tires.

DC was testing 2009 aero with slicks.

It seems that Renault improved quite a lot with the latest updates.

[keysersoze]

Fisichella managed 1:20.7 on grooved tires, which would still have put Force India 5th quick on the day, less than a tenth from Renault.

[JSH]

Why are they using slicks? Obviously I've missed something......

[jso1985]

testing for next year, that if the FIA allows to use them, otherwise they are wating their time there

[wmcot]

Why are they using slicks? Obviously I've missed something......

So car model manufacturers can sell another expensive version of this year's car!
