Not too interesting, the big teams are holding back because they dont want to give too much away, which is why Vettel isnt even in the top 12 unless his car had a problem? So they are mixed in with the slower teams, and Raikkonen is just getting back into it so he probably did the most laps and was probably trying to go as fast as possible without holding back Thats why I never watch practice, tells you nothing

exactly. 👍

F1 testing NEVER tells the story of what is going to happen in the season.
I have nearly finished the stewards reports, I did the other checks myself as its tuesday and I hadnt heard from the other steward, just got to put them in the OP.
Oh and the other things you mentioned about drivers performance are included in the 'other' section

 

[Pagey279]

I just thought people would want to see

 

[berty1979]

The other steward just got back to me now so report is going in now 👍

Also some rather interesting results in pre season F1 testing:
1 Kimi Raikkonen (Fin) Lotus-Renault - 1:19.670
2 Paul di Resta (GB) Force India-Mercedes - 1:19.772
3 Nico Rosberg (Ger) Mercedes - 1:20.219*
4 Mark Webber (Aus) Red Bull-Renault - 1:20.496
5 Daniel Ricciardo (Aus) Toro Rosso-Ferrari - 1:20.496
6 Michael Schumacher (Ger) Mercedes - 1:20.794*
7 Kamui Kobayashi (Jpn) Sauber-Ferrari - 1:21.353
8 Jenson Button (GB) McLaren-Mercedes - 1:21.530
9 Felipe Massa (Brz) Ferrari - 1:22.815
10 Heikki Kovalainen (Fin) Caterham-Renault - 1:23.178
11 Pastor Maldonado (Ven) Williams-Renault - 1:23.371
12 Pedro de la Rosa (Spa) HRT-Cosworth - 1:23.676*

Full of "sand baggers" I see. I'm rooting for Raikkonen this season. He has the balls to get up in there at the start which is crucial.

I think he may be like Heidfeld was last year, get up in there for a podium then fall away when the big fish teams get their packages perfected. Hopefully not though, hopefully some wins.

Yeah i want to see some new winners, Di Resta for one, would be cool if rosberg could get a win too

 

[ENTERSANDMAN13]

i think force india will be strong this year.

 

[berty1979]

Stewards report in the OP, we were all a little rusty but overall not bad.
Important to point out that if you take someone out, wait up for them to regain the position. If you are a lap down your punishment may be more severe.

Fastest laps/profiles etc. all updated well done SM! You got a full house- Pole/win/fastest lap

Penalties have been applied where possible.

 

[runfast1]

Update made wind noise louder than motor! Sucks for me

 

[PIGBOY]

i agree rf

 

[Rich S]

I've acquired the Green/white force India from the OCD. Too bad my team is already set?

 

[berty1979]

Runfast+PB - What view do you drive in? I have only been on to watch the replay since the update.

Rich- Like Pokemon, you gotta collect em all

 

[runfast1]

Above car view.

 

[berty1979]

Oh wow, same as me. Ill find out tonight about the wind noise I guess

 

[Ellis]

May do some practice tonight if anyone is around

 

[ETID]

Ellis play FIFA tonight with me! Guess what team is back! Dutch league - Eredivisie! BUT! No Elm, El Kabir, Landzaat, or Fer... yet...

 

[berty1979]

Ill be on for the DTM's only mate as I am flat out busy until 9. Maybe have a run around after 👍

 

[Spurgy 777]

When we get there, can I reserve the right to the 7777 post/reply

 

[berty1979]

ill try mate but I never notice until someone points it out

 

[Spurgy 777]

Ill just have to shout at you when we get close

 

[berty1979]

Cool mang, I think Sandman, Ellis and myself have all grabbed milestone posts but theremust be more than that.

 

[Pagey279]

I had 5000

 

[berty1979]

Good one to get, I got 1 though

 

[Ellis]

What's a decent time round here? I can set high 1 17s and a couple of very low 18s but I dont know what to aim for.

 

[Pagey279]

Thats pretty decent 👍 I think pole was a 1.16.0 but most were getting 1.17s/18s in quali.
Race pace should be about the same, front runners getting 1.16s, averaging out high 16s maybe, mid pack averaging 1.17s/18s

 

[Ellis]

Got a 1 17 6. Etid got a 1 20

 

[F_Filipe]

Pagey-It is 33% done and there are 2 drivers under investigation. My portion will be done tonight for sure but not sure about the last steward mate, worried about something?

Filipe- We are full for season 2 but i have a reserve spot left for Season 3 if you are interested?

I'm interested indeed

 

[berty1979]

Ok ill put you in the op. Add me on PSN and ill invite you to practice sessions, if you cant make it there is no need to reply 👍

 

[F_Filipe]

FR Sent
So i only start racing next season right?

1:16.0 is excellent. Dont know if I can swing that on full fuel. I wish they'd make a fuel load adjuster on the settings.

They simulated fuel load performance diff....why not allow you to adjust fuel load?
