Parang battle of the noses ah... :hysterical:

Parang sa aerodynamics na naman focus nila ngayon. Once the race start yung "pogi" talaga mananalo. hehe

slight OT:

Just visited the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve this afternoon. It's too early though to see and walk on the track. puro snow pa. Sayang at hindi na namin aabutan ang sched dito.

Pero ang dami pa rin tao namamasyal.

Williams has an interesting exhaust... It seems to sit very far forward on the side pod in order to hit the rear wing squarely. Wouldn't be surprised if McLaren's cobbled on exhaust outlet is a fake covering similarly forward positioned exhaust outlets.

Raikkonen sets early pace at Jerez

Not much to read into that. Last year, Barrichelo was fastest, and look what happened to his season.

But from the absolute times, Kimi, at the very least, seems to be in a competitive car with good pace. Pretty sure Lotus will be at least in the upper-midfield this season.

Jerez pre-season test - Day 2 reaction

Seven-time F1 champion Michael Schumacher and Mercedes topped the second day of testing in Jerez, somewhat pointlessly given that the car was a 2011-spec machine. After the day was done, everyone had a good old natter.

"We made some very good work with the new tyres...they are more consistent and a lot closer to what you would expect from a Formula One tyre," he was quoted as saying by Autosport.

"Understanding those tyres was our main focus and we had a programme we did pretty well with."

As for his 2012 hopes, however, he added: "I don't think we can realistically achieve a championship car immediately from where we started last year, we have to build our way there.

Definitely a pointless record. He's running the 2011 car, which has more downforce than this year's car.

What will be interesting to see is if any of this year's cars will actually match that time.

Mercedes still has a big problem with their car

[Monseratto]

Kudos to Button and Vettel. Huge disappointment on the Mercs. Too much hype, great start but no points to show. Nakakahinayang kay Maldonado and Rosberg, kaput at the last lap. Great drive from Perez and Kimi...back of the pack to a points finish.

[CoDer]

Uy my fave drivers on 1 and 2 spot!

[simplicity]

si Kimi mukang tulog! hahaha..
si LH still wondering why he lost the 1st corner
SV and JB always in good spirits..
teka, bakit may napasama na track marshall? ganda pa ng ngiti.. katabi ni Timo.. hehehe..

[CoDer]

Perez is a surprize. Bad on vettel.

[CoDer]

No hope on vettel if RB can't sort out the car's balance.

Iwasan ni Perez gigil nya next he's gunning for first place.

[Monseratto]

Natatwa lang sa Mercs. Yung mga nauna sa kanila only work on a fraction of their annual budget and get better results. And all they have to show is 10th place,,,Mercs Sucks!

F1 message boards flooding conspiracy theories especially from the Alonso "haters".
I wonder why they can't accept the fact that drivers makes mistakes. If Vettel made a mistake last year when under pressure, isn't it possible for a younger driver like Perez to commit one also.

Sauber just want the points and podium finish which may not come on a regular basis so they have to tell Perez that they need that position. It's a team strategy considering the condition of the track.

not a good day also for team mclaren.

Haters gonna hate. Idiots. It's obvious that it was still very wet off the racing line. Sergio went off because he drove onto the wet part of the track on slicks. They wanted him to keep pushing and possibly crash out?

Dolts.

Terrific drive from Perez. Good work keeping it in and maintaining second. Too bad. If he didn't have that off, he might have had tires enough left to overtake Alonso in the last two laps.

Worst luck of the day has to go to Narain Karthikayen. First Button runs into him then Vettel tries to take him out. Boys, boys... you can take pieces of Force India home for free! No need to try knocking them off!
