   Its a shame we can’t get more info as to how the teams feel the car is performing, what parts they are trying, and where they feel the car is at with each day of testing.

     There’s a reason for that – releasing that information would mean that all of the teams would know exactly what the others were doing and when, and turn testing into a semi-competitive event. That’s not what testing is about.

   Please be aware there is no live video feed from the test and there is no official live timing service.

   Do we often get requests for these?

   It’s all change on day three as several of the teams swap their drivers today. Lewis Hamilton will have his first run in the MP4/27, Sebastian Vettel will get acquainted with the RB8, and Fernando Alonso will check out the F2012.

   The big boys are coming out to play! :)

   So MGP is running full 2011 spec car including EBD. They say they’re doing it to get exact back to back data on Pirelllis. Anyone else think it’s fishy?

     I was actually wondering why no one else had the idea to run two cars, the old and the new one to see if and how big the changes between the tyres are.

     It’s faster alright, but the 1:17 was done with an EBD equipped 2011 car… So it’s not really a good comparison.
