Interesting. That is almost like a list of number 1 drivers. Shows how i portant early running is - in previous years, (with less "new" to chase), the reserve driver / test driver often did the first couple of dys straight line / constant peed shennanigans.

Puts into context how much this is hurting the nstone boys...

It's a shame the autosport guys can't transmit video or radio. I'd happily listen to them or the Sky mob shoot the breeze all day on the radio.
Think SSF1 are showing highlights of testing at 9pm Gaz.

This made me laugh...a small glitch with the most important part of the car..(driver excluded)

08:31 Caterham was due to unveil its 2014 challenger at 0845 this morning, but was delayed by a small glitch that AUTOSPORT understands is related to the installation of the engine.

Ferrari say it was "precautionary"!!! Presumably as a precaution against an embarrassing incident of parts that sdhould be inside the engine, ending up out of the engine.

Lewis for WDC... wink

09:23 Hamilton goes purple in sectors one and two, but that's not exactly difficult right now. He's straight back into the pits, his lap count of three still three more than anyone else.
