I liked the last comment. That is a valid point, how will the battle between Toro Rosso and Force India pan out over the course of the season?
My hunch is that Toro Rosso will just about shade it, with the new car being a decisive factor.
Interesting to see Hamilton and Kovalainen so even in testing, and I would not be surprised to see one of those silver cars on pole come Monaco. Also, I am curious as to Alonso’s absence from testing, of what has widely been condemned as a ‘slow’ car. Any news on the reason for his absence?

“Vitantonio Liuzzi returned to F1 testing on Wednesday, and after that Force India ran both their race drivers on the following days, the only team to do so, although they only ran one car.”

Thats a bit of a hint that we might see this years first driver change at FI

Red Bull are looking great, I hope we see a podium for Webber in either Monaca or Canada. Or at least see DC start picking up points

I like the idea of tracks with different configurations – surely there’s a smart way of using that in a real situation for extra interest…
