A new Mercedes GP own jump to track today

Last season had high hopes for Mercedes GP. Few were who believed that he had serious options to join the trio of head, Ferrari, McLaren and Red Bull. Over the course of the season, we saw that the 2010 was not going to be the year of the Germans, would have to be patient with them. In 2009 you sounded the flute to Ross Brawn with the subject of the controversial diffusers, but last year the engineer English did not have any as in the manga.

The start of the offseason has been somewhat disappointing. The distance on the coconuts is estimated at around a second, and if they want to reduce the differences they will put the batteries. The first step have already you, putting on track, a priori, improved Mercedes GP own. To be able to vote this post you must login or register here.

The package with which filmed the single-seat German today includes a new front spoiler and a series of developments that have not specified. The pieces came last night and it is mounted in the car, that Michael Schumacher might have option to test these changes during the day today. To this we add a modified diffuser and redesigned exhaust, which Ross Brawn commented that they had expected a significant leap forward.
The offseason is coming to an end and the teams press the last few days of testing to develop their Roadsters. Between now and tomorrow we can calibrate if the remodeled own Mercedes helped the Germans to overcome the pessimism of beginning of the year.

Jerez testing: Felipe Massa fastest track

 One of the preseason 2011 F1 test. Great title and great desire we have on this boot soon. Felipe Massa is the first putting the head of the classification in these tests, and although never mean anything, as always: be first is good for morale.

But not only that, that time has managed are interesting because reached this 1: 20.709 in the seventh round of a "long" stint. That is good for having achieved a certain load of fuel and tyres are not qualifying, but rolling. Hence interesting to me.

Sergio Perez, with Sauber Ferrari second classified with a best time of 1: 21. 483, which however has its trick. Achieved in the first round of a stint of 8 (the stint base that has been used Sauber, never more than 8 turns followed), and then times have simply sunk. Pass 1: 21 in the first round to a tone of 1: 25 or 1: 27 is meaning time sink.

Completely unlike Mark Webber, with its 1: 21.522 (of first round in 6 stint) placed third but repeat feature of 2010: pace high and constant in almost all his stint and two stint long (over 12 laps) at constant rate of 1: 23 attest that RedBull remains as we are accustomed, with much merit.

Also be seen shooting McLaren MP4-26 Finally, and reading is there today to see where is the car. A best time of Hamilton touching 1: 22 (1: 21. 914) places it now fifth, and rhythm in medios-largos sitints is around 1: 23-1: 24. Time will have to shoot more. Incidentally qu eme forgot Ricciardo, made with Toro Rosso rhythms of 1: 23 for stints of average length. His best round 1:21.7 is really good.

Less fortunate or less rate to Force India, Lotus Renault, Mercedes GP and Williams-Cosworth Lotus and Virgin (almost logically) on a first day of tests interesting and also expected. Tomorrow, more.
