Lijepa slika, RB vs McLaren: http://f1zoom.co.cc/?year=2012&race=cat ... =70&full=1 Strasno je koliko je nizi nos kod McLarena, a uocljivo je i da su podesili dosta veci downforce na straznjem krilu. Anyway, danas je treci dan testiranja u Barceloni. Najveca je novost da je Lotus imao problema sa sasijom, i to na relaciji motor-sasija. Stoga su odustali od ove ture testiranja.
Lotus is set to add an extra day of private running to the final pre-season test after abandoning this week's Barcelona test with a chassis problem. The Enstone team has applied for permission to have an extra day on track, which would require unanimous consent from the other teams. AUTOSPORT understands that Lotus already has the required agreement from the majority of teams and given that Mercedes was granted an extra day before this week's Barcelona test after only running for three days in Jerez two weeks ago, it is likely to get permission. The test is expected to take place on February 27, before the final Barcelona test, which runs from March 1-4, but sources indicate that the team is confident that it will have its chassis ready after making modifications to solve a problem believed to be related to the front suspension. Ma ja, prvo im dozvole da razvijaju ovjes, pa ih onda kulturno naguze.

Alonso seems to get five or six good laps out of a set of softs before the pace drops away, but Grosjean's hold up a little longer. from autosport This is a very promising race simulation for Grosjean, who is doing consistent 1m28s - a similar pace to Alonso, but the Ferrari is on mediums and the Lotus on hards from autosport 5:55 Stint one was 11 laps on soft tyres, mostly in mid-1m30s, with a few 1m31s. Stint two was 13 laps on softs, almost all in mid 1m29s before a few mid 1m30s at the end. Stint three was 10 laps on softs, mostly in low 1m28s, with a handful of mid 1m29s at the end. Then he finished up with 25 laps on hards, mainly in mid 1m27s, before eventually trailing off to mid/high 1m28s. 15:52 While we ponder that, let's go through Grosjean's eye-catching race simulation Lotus se čini jako dobar, ovaj race sim što je radio je impresivan, svakako bolji od Alonsovog kada se uporede vremena i to da uspjeva duže ostat na soft gumama. Izgleda da ih Ferrari uništava.
Gotova testiranja. Sta reci? Pravo stanje se moze samo pogadjati. Svi su zadovoljni svojim testiranjima, Ferrari se ne cini tako dobar, bulla je imala problema, Lotus je isplivao od nikuda, ali sa dva vozaca koja nemaju pojma o gumama i gubitkom cijele sedmice tesko da imaju neku super brzinu. McLaren hvali bolid, ali i oni se cine sucmurasti. Vjerovatno su svi krili preformanse sem Lotusa koji je ocigledno radio simulaciju kvala pa utrke. Sent from my HTC Desire S using Tapatalk
Lotus je najvece (pozitivno) iznenadjenje. Mercedes je solidno izgledao kad su predstavili novi bolid, od prvog dana su bez problema radili velike kilometraze. Izgleda jako pouzdan. Red Bull sasvim sigurno u borbi za pobjedu, sto na prvoj utrci sto za prvenstvo, McLaren ce izgleda konacno dobro zapoceti sezonu nakon dobrih testiranja (napravili su mozda i najvise kilometara sa novim bolidom), Ferrari totalno nejasan. Ne cini se kao da imaju brzinu, ali moguce je i da jos uvijek postelavaju bolid. Sve u svemu, najvise se nadam jakom McLarenu vec od prve utrke i dobrom Lotusu. Imam nekako feeling da ce Lotus makar na pocetku sezone po podij.
Vec su pesimisticni u Ferrariju: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/97841 Ne bih bas rekao da je blef.
Kompletno testiranje po pitanju performansi nije pokazalo apsolutno nista, osim da Lotus juri sponzore
Ja i dalje stojim pri svome Australiju uzima Vettel/Hamilton/Button(na srecu ko po obicaju), onda velika zbrka oko puhanja vrucih gasova u difuzor, poneki skandalcic sa pravilima, i onda glavonja turisticki uzima prvenstvo a Ferrari WCC (malo tijesnije) uz standardnih par zalbi iz kontra tabora.
Krasne riječi od Martina. Ferrari's press officer Luca Colajanni surprised the Finnish journalists by declaring that he's convinced that Raikkonen can win in Australia – in same style as he did with Ferrari in 2007. Colajanni said he believes to Kimi's chances as much as he believes that Ferrari cannot win the opening race. :lol:
