la force supreme des mclaren 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2008 Barrichello goes quickest at Barcelona Rubens Barrichello posted the quickest time on the second day of testing at the Barcelona circuit, but it was Ferrari's Felipe Massa who set the pace of those using only grooved tyres. Barrichello, whose Honda team today tested a revised front wing with the 'elephant-like' add-ons already tried last year, posted a best time of 1:18.928 to finish nearly a second in front of Giancarlo Fisichella in the Force India. Both Barrichello and Fisichella were running with 2008 aero configurations on slick tyres when they set their fastest times. Massa finished over half a second behind Fisichella after 113 laps, but the Brazilian spent the day using the current grooved tyres. Red Bull's David Coulthard - also sampling the slicks - was fourth quickest, with Lewis Hamilton rounding up the top five. The McLaren driver only ran with grooved tyres. Fernando Alonso and Nick Heidfeld were the only other two drivers who did not try Bridgestone's slicks today. The Spanish driver, whose Renault team introduced a new engine cover fin today, caused the only red flag of the day when he stopped on track in the afternoon with a suspected engine problem. Today's times: Pos Driver Team Time Laps 1. Barrichello Honda ( 1:18.928 77 2. Fisichella Force India-Ferrari ( 1:19.721 79 3. Massa Ferrari ( 1:20.283 113 4. Coulthard Red Bull-Renault ( 1:20.392 87 5. Hamilton McLaren-Mercedes ( 1:20.452 96 6. Alonso Renault ( 1:20.616 118 7. Rosberg Williams-Toyota ( 1:20.800 115 8. Glock Toyota ( 1:20.870 112 9. Heidfeld BMW-Sauber ( 1:20.981 97 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
