Newey: double points cheapen F1 You're right Adrian, but you may well be glad of them come the end of this season.

[LY_Scott]

Their in-season development seems to be best in class in the present era to be fair. Don't think they've had this bad a start before though Eek.

[techieboy]

Exactly. At this rate they're not going to get a podium until the second half of the season.

[LY_Scott]

Not seen any reports yet. WTF is it that's going on fire?

Does the 105% quali rule still apply?

They might not even make the starting grid at Melbourne if they don't get through quali

13:19 Magnussen comes out of the pits and turns the wick up on his first flying lap - becoming the first man at this test to dip into the 1m34s. That puts him 2.5 seconds shy of last year's pole position. impressive

[techieboy]

I assume he's using the softs? Will be interesting to see if the others break them out today and see what they can do.
