Mercedes looks great, but of course the front wing fails and causes a shunt today.


RB doesn't look 1/2 bad at all, followed by the FI. Glad to see kimster on top

How does Caterham expect to get anywhere with such an unrefined car?

It's like that (front wing) was all of the resources they had available, then they ran out of R&D budget so they copy and pasted from last year and photoshopped on the new FW. You kinda get the hint there is a new car there, but they are only revealing that much so far. IRL photochops.

Could you imagine the feelings of shame, embarrassment, and failure the caterham guys get when Newey walks by?

I wonder if they lost their 2013 blueprints and had to copy their 2010 car?

14:49 Rosberg's Mercedes has done 60 laps, which is more than all the Renault-engined cars have managed across two days combined (38 laps).

Problem is with Renault, which they have enough cars and data to fix quickly I'm sure.

Also, as we all expected, Eric Boullier goes to McLaren effective Monday.

Really enjoying all the different concepts produced. McLaren rear blockers are really cool.
