Valencia F1 Testing 2010

[Mini1275]

Hi,
Might be a stupid question, but is the testing on T.V (red button?) or the internet tomorrow?
Cheers.

[FourWheelDrift]

Neither. It's not to be televised. Bernie said so.

[PabloTeK]

Might as well start for the frothing, who's going to be fastest and who'll be the biggest surprise do you think? Also, did the BBC do any coverage of the testing last year?

[CastrolCraig.]

i have a feeling that sauber may have an ace up there sleeves, both with a decent car and kobayashi.

Taking into consideration all the pre launch rumours and press releases, IMHO US F1 are going to be hard to beat..........

Be very interesting to see if the more adventurous design features like the McLaren engine cover, will provide an advantage as per double diffusers last year

[MiniMan64]

Are any of the new teams actually scheduled to be there tomorrow?

Considering how different that McLaren is to the rest of to the so far launched cars, I would say that they have some very advanced, or very broken CFD going on in Woking.

It puzzles me how different it is to the rest of the pack so far. I have a feeling they might run away with it...

nope!

US F1 don't seem in a hurry to tell us who their second driver is (nor Campos for that matter!) or show anything of their car other than crushing a nose cone... let alone get on a plane to Europe any time soon.

Campos apparently said they would probably not do ANY of the pre-season tests and turn up at the first race treating it as their test... that does not bode well for their chances.

To be fair I suppose, a couple of the big teams are not there either!

[CastrolCraig.]

wow, the merc W01 looks a bit different to the rest

[skinny]

loads of cars sporting the red bull nose humps of last year...

That nose certainly is unusual, goes a little up before a rather sharp drop downwards. In repsonse to the post above me, a lot of the cars had them anyway last year about 4 seconds after RBR got them!

What time does the testing start? I cant believe that its not being televised. Anyone have any links that will be posting the times?

[zac510]

They've never televised pre-season testing, why would this year be any different?

I'm sure there'll be some video highlights though.
