Emmcee 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2014 I second that, maybe kimi might need the dudesons to dig a hole and cover it with sticks as this is the only thing that will stop fernando. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BradSpeedMan 6 Report post Posted January 28, 2014 Quiet morning so far, Hamilton has done the most in his Merc, followed by Vergne. Hammie just did a 1m27.621s and has unfortunately now gone into the barriers on the next lap, with bodywork coming off....The only 2 who have done some laps, there were installation laps for Kimi, Perez and Gutierrez. No installation laps for RedBull and co yet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BradSpeedMan 6 Report post Posted January 28, 2014 11:46 Scratch that - it seems Hamilton is in the Turn 1 barriers. Marshals are picking up bodywork on the main straight. 11:49 Looks like a fair bit of damage on the W05. The course car and marshals are cleaning the circuit well before Turn 1 too.

BradSpeedMan 6 Report post Posted January 28, 2014 apparently front wing failure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BradSpeedMan 6 Report post Posted January 28, 2014 11:59 AUTOSPORT's spotters on the ground confirm that it was a front wing failure Mercedes are referring to. It shattered well before Turn 1 and left Hamilton a helpless passenger, in much the same way as Fernando Alonso's wing broke in Malaysia last year. Hamilton was able to climb out the car and appeared unhurt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jem of the Shire 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2014 Looking even clearer now that in this first test we're not going to get any indication at all of who is where in terms of competitiveness. Adrian Newey has said that they won't be working on competitive times until they get to Bahrain. Ferrari's "secret testing" obviously didnt help then seeing as Kimi was first to break down!

BradSpeedMan 6 Report post Posted January 28, 2014 Very slow at the mo... 13:09 Five hours in, and still only five teams have ventured out. The order so far is: 1 Hamilton, Mercedes: 1m27.820s, 18 laps 2 Raikkonen, Ferrari: 1m29.474s, 11 laps 3 Vergne, Toro Rosso: 1m36.530s, 11 laps 4 Gutierrez, Sauber: no time, 5 laps 5 Perez, Force India: no time, 1 lap Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Putting the car together must be easier when you've been the one to have designed and developed the power unit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
