Mercedes W06

I know we shouldn't read too much into testing and all that, but nearly 100 laps complete on day one, the same as the teams combined last year, faster than last years fastest time, and 1.5 seconds faster then the rest already.

Rosberg's lap count: 84
All other teams combined: 98

Over 120 now...mighty impressive for any new car.

Rosberg did 156 laps, more than 2 GPs

Bit like Friday practice can be - getting the mileage done is more important than the ultimate time. And they probably aren't wanting to give too much information about their potential to other teams.

Are there any split times published for the testing? Maybe they have done sector fastest times but never a full lap flat out?

Are you pleased with yourself?


I would rather you kept the photos to yourself.

Considering lbc just said this in the testing thread;

The cars seem too noisy this year.

Last years quieter engines were better.

I suppose we will have to get used to it.

I would suggest that we simply ignore obvious troll.
