Winter Testing
Because I figure I should post an entry of some kind but can't think of anything else to post about, winter testing for this year's Formula One season began today. Seven of the thirteen teams to be competing next year ran in today's opening session at Valencia in Spain. Their fastest times are as follows:
1. Massa (Ferrari) 1:12.574
2. de la Rosa (BMW Sauber-Ferrari) 1:12.784
3. M. Schumacher (Mercedes GP) 1:12.947
4. Rosberg (Mercedes GP) 1:13.543
5. Paffett (McLaren-Mercedes) 1:13.846
6. Barrichello (Williams-Cosworth) 1:14.449
7. Buemi (Toro Rosso-Ferrari) 1:14.762
8. Kubica (Renault) 1:15.000
Personally, I'm excited to see that Schumacher hasn't really lost any speed--four tenths off of Ferrari isn't too bad. There's no telling what kind of testing runs everyone was doing today, so these times could mean absolutely nothing, but still, it's exciting to know that the cars are running again.
