2007 F1 Season

You have to look at the times in context. I understand Fisi already had a days testing under his belt, so by his second day he was probably on a different program to Heiki.

The Aguri cars will be underweight, light on fuel, and probably last years Honda which they are using to get tyre data with...well thats my 2c anyway

Based solely on this test result I am predicting a Super Aguri 1 - 2 result in Melbourne.

Better get on the bandwagon now, Roy. Before it leaves town.

true, the lap record for Jerez is a mid 1:16 and they're all way, WAY off that. Still Kovalainen is a ways of Fisi's pace, and you know he not the fastest cookie out there. Its looking more and more like a red 07

But if they are running on this years tyres, how would they even get close to the record?

[ctjet]

four seconds is a big discrepency, just in tyres. Five in kovelainen's case. Especially in what are esentially last years cars anyway. It seems that either Aguri has their shit together or renault is struggling.

Either way i dun like it... Honda FTL

[R33GTRVSPEC]

The Super Aguri's are doing Honda's testing for them.

[Roy]

Sure, wipe off Heiki already.

Lets say i was a team owner. I wouldnt have my two drivers doing the same programs. I would have one geu comign to grips with tyre testing, whilst the other tests aero parts, endurance runs to get an idea of the life of new components on the new chassis. There isnt any reason to be running drivers to the same program.

You want to understand what makes the tyres work, how changes to the car work...all whislt still getting plenty of kms done...so its prety obvious you cant compare times

[ctjet]

Renault pinched Ricardo Zonta from toyota specifically to help them understand their new bridgestone tyres. Kovelainen has to be faster than Fisi straight off the bat or extremely close to him for Renault to be competitive in 07 was all i was saying

[Roy]

...lol and i am sayign TOO EARLY to be making anyguesses about anything.

[ctjet]

but i like guessing...

watching the teams testing times is the only source of F1 drama i have in the off season

that, and im busting to see Renaults new colour scheme

[R33JET]

f**k renault how mad is the new mac!!!!!!!!!!!

I understand that RBR are rolling out there cars for some testing today. Be interesting to see how they go when we read about it tonight.

Webber is saying he is expecting podiums whilst Newey is talkign down expectations, sayign to wait for 2008. [Crosses fingers]

Greece are one step closer to securing a race.

As; "Developments over recent months seem to suggest the Greek government is in favour of a race that could help boost tourism, one of the country's main sources of income. Plans are afoot for a possible circuit sited an hour from Athens."

My question to you people is; Will they/should they include it as part of an 18 race calender

or

Replace an existing track? If so what would you like to see go?

And as we all know we will be seeing the inaugural Japanese GP at Fuji Speedway. Should be interesting!

[benm]

18 races a year isn't enough, should be about 21-22.

[dezz]

more the merrier

Raikkonen's first Ferrari test

An omen of things to come

For my 10 cents worth I wish they would replace the Albert Park circuit. It has to be THE most boring circuit for F1 racing anywhere - even the track in Hungary is better.

Calm down. I am not saying they should bin the Australian GP. Just the Albert Park circuit. It is dull as dishwater - at no point do the cars even look like they are going faster than your average Formula Ford.
