For the first and only time this year, will be present at the tests all the teams. Even when times are to be treated with caution, there are a surprising observation.
And the times of all teams, are especially those who were quick today. For the time of 1:20.338 min Nick Heidfeld is faster than that of Felippe Massa in the second qualifying session in the last year (1:20.584 min). In other words, the cars are already faster than last year and it's not even clear if BMW was traveling with empty tanks. Normally just let some air which is always upward. Two things we must not forget that it is in Barcelona in March, slightly cooler, which means more power for the motors and you do not know if Heidfeld has had KERS on board. Considering these variables, gently, there is a time that would be about six to seven tenths lower. On the other hand, BMW has not driven the last aero package.
Amazingly, the time of Jenson Button in the first kilometers, it was with the BGP001. He was fourth with 1:21.140 min Fastest, but here it is probably not very wrong, if one suspects that any buttons did not have full fuel load on board. But even if it was empty - not bad. It was so fast after all, right away, which is not possible, for example Renault.
The other times you can safely keep in mind only once and wait a week, which is thus shown. This is especially true for McLaren in Barcelona were on the road again with the old, large rear spoiler of the last year. Is said to be the set of the output data even in such a way that it corresponds to the level of 2009, but why the British drive around with that thing, no one really knows. If you have a problem with the new wing, they'd use this week at the latest several versions, but it is nothing to see. Remains only speculation, that you have something very revolutionary lie in the closet that you want to show anybody.
Toro Rosso introduced the new car, which now (surprise) also looks no different than the RB5. Not even in details. The kink in the tail wing indicates that it will also drive this vast, continuous tail fin, because if it fits. Still - seems to me far the best car RB5/STR4 in the field to be.



Are you sure you with McLaren? For me, it looked more like the new rear wing.
McLaren did not last week, two different versions of a 09er rear wing it? I had read somewhere ... but funny, what the. The versions that they had been here saw already quite different from what the other teams have it so.
According to motorsport-total yes Giorgio Ascanelli the STR-04 as an independent, have been described from the Red Bull's sister clearly distinctive vehicle that is based on the same course, but Newey skeleton. This supposedly big difference but at least from the outside at all clear ... but of course the inside will look a lot different, because yes, another motor, so there is.

Maybe a comparison to last year :
It seems that Heidfeld time to qualify after all.
McLaren has already covered a few new things, including a new rear wing and underbody / diffuser ... http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/73642
