It is obviously difficult to tell from an amateur recording, but it did sound rather as though the McLaren was heavily traction-limited.

Difficult to draw any conclusions from one test. Although it doesn't look good.

Raikkonen also started factionally before Kovalainen even if they were being controlled from the light gantry no penatly there for a jump start. I'm sure they were only testing the initial get away. Kimi probably just went further to pass Heikki, they are both Fins after all so just a bit of one-upmanship or just to get alongside and wave.

Well I'm a bit of a Ferrari fan but I would say that doesn't mean anything, as Kimi started first and Heikki didn't follow through(as it were).
Nice to see this sort of test footage to whet the appetite though smile

They certainly sounded good and in a low res video even looked ok. I'm downgrading from HD just for the F1 this year hehe
