Official Pre-season Testing Thread

[Boudica 0]

Testing is to be resumed in a few minutes. It's cloudy but there's no rain I believe. It's almost certain SA won't be testing today, they hope to be driving tomorrow or the day after...

Schumacher will be there, funnily enough having Smedley as his engineer, Dyer is obviously Raikkonen's.

-----------------

Schumacher was already in his car but had to step out again. He didn't feel comfortable in his seat, which is being adjusted now.

Meanwhile Heidfeld and Kubica did their installation laps and came back into the pits with smoking engines, there was no panic, they're probably experimenting like last week at Jerez.

Wurz is the first to post a time. He did a 1:27.188 now.

The circuit has removed some banners from the stands, however none of them was directed at Hamilton. The Maclaren pit box is also still cordoned off.

Everyone is on intermediates, however the track is starting to dry out now, DC is the only one who tried dry tyres.
