2011 winter testing

Well we are 7 days away when teams will show off their new cars in testing and was wondering what surprises will spring up during these tests. What teams will be fast and which ones will be surprisingly slow? Which new drivers will stand out? Will the bottom three teams get closer to the established teams? Would like to hear your comments?

If Riccardo turns out to be quicker then any of the two current drivers, he might be slotted in before the first race since the current drivers haven't been confirmed yet. We shall see. Same goes for Hulkenberg vs Sutil. I don't think Sutil has been confirmed yet.

That's a good point, Peralta.

I completely forgot that neither drive had been 'officially' signed. Could see another 2006 style STR alternating driver swap.

Which is more likely to do damage to all their career than good based on Marko's impatience with drivers!

Ricciardo's looking like he's going to be more involved than just reserve now though doesn't it.

You get that impression, at least. Should be an interesting one to keep an eye one.

Expect imminant statements of 'food poisoning' from STR

Anyone have resources for where we might find live timing or lap data information from the tests? I remember msfree.gr being a resource last year...

Ha ha good one!

Either that or a sudden complete and utter reversal of hitherto singing praise for either driver al la Bourdais or Liuzzi before them etc....

Often wondered why there hasn't been any testing at Ricard in recent years, it's all in Spain apart from Bahrain?

Strange isn't it? Bernie owned, and it's a specifically designed test track. I can only presume it's to do with transportation, local facilities etc

everyone else uses paul ricard apart from f1, it *is* odd. the climate isn't quite as good as spain there, it's not a great deal warmer than here. there's plenty of accomodation, so it can't really be that... maybe he charges them too much

transportation of cars wise, teams will either go within 1-2hrs of the circuit if they drive through france to get to spain, or nowhere near if they catch the ferry to santander. however, from barcelona and valencia it's only a day's drive away.

I seem to remember reading in Brundle's book that there wasn't too much accomodation wise around the area - however, he was speaking of his memoirs back from the 80s.

there's plenty . those prima donnas just like to be within a stone's throw of the circuit. toulon and aubagne are both pretty sizeable, and it's still tourist country. in the past 10-20 years budget style hotels and chains have exploded in popularity in france as well as here.
