Two teams have now logged over 1,000 laps of testing – Ferrari (1,098) and Williams (1,043).

Keith, I know, Force India really confused all on this week already, but Tonio drives the car, not Jarno. : )
Keith Collantine (@keithcollantine) said on 20th February 2010, 9:26
Got the Italians mixed up! Changed it now, thanks.
bwells said on 20th February 2010, 9:00
Not sure why Fernando’s not in the MSFree live timing screens… F1Today says he’s done 12 laps with a 1:22.023..
strange..
Abuelo Paul said on 20th February 2010, 9:01
Q. Is Sauber officially entered in the 2010 F1 championship. There appears to be a noticeable lack of team and driver info on the official F1 web site. If yes, why no info, if no why are they testing?
I am so confused. And why doe sthe F1 regime and FIA not have a contact department for asking simple questions, like why does your web page take so long to load on older machines.
So insular they are.
bwells said on 20th February 2010, 9:06
I even tried to trick it into giving me Alonzo’s times but no go.. I wonder whats up.. :(
Invoke said on 20th February 2010, 9:10
Not sure how their system works, but looks as if they either aren’t receiving Alonso’s data, or haven’t added him as someone to receive data from, if that makes sense.
Invoke said on 20th February 2010, 9:19
Looks like they noticed, his times are up now :)
Invoke said on 20th February 2010, 9:07
Here’s hoping for a dry day, and lots of running from the new guys!
sumedh said on 20th February 2010, 9:19
An off-topic question: What is the miniature track on the north west corner of the satellite image. It seems to be a replica of the larger track.
Why has it been built on a smaller scale at the same site?
sumedh said on 20th February 2010, 9:23
In fact, a little north-east of this miniature track, there is another even more smaller version of this track.
Why are these random decorations there?
GàmérZ said on 20th February 2010, 9:24
Its a track for go-karts
@m@ said on 20th February 2010, 9:25
Its bernie’s very own scaled down track…
Pete said on 20th February 2010, 12:33
Hah!!
wdf2 said on 20th February 2010, 10:21
Is the kart track open? Keith, in your spare time :-) pop over there and get some of the lap times.
bwells said on 20th February 2010, 9:26
Those are cart tracks… so I guess you can work your way up racing the same lay out… a great idea actually.. 8)
VXR said on 20th February 2010, 9:28
Kubica did six laps averaging 1.19.4!
Invoke said on 20th February 2010, 9:36
SO Renault do have a bit of speed to go with their supposed fuel efficiency, good news!
Bullfrog said on 20th February 2010, 12:33
Was that on the kart track?
Mariusz said on 20th February 2010, 10:03
Kubica 1.19,4 (6 laps) wow, Renault has a great pace with this retro front wing. . .
@m@ said on 20th February 2010, 10:11
So, Button came out fighting then
