About all this testing

[normality78]

guy's,

how many of you all here do believe all the testing result that had been done before the GP start? does this testing result and posted race time indicated the real perofrmance of the car whn it comes to the race or its just purely testing result which would be diff frm the actual race car that going to be in the racing?

me personally think all these testing result show little truth about the real "war" car. just like previous season, Ferrari show weak result on the testing before the GP started but whn the 1st race on, they start to wipping all the races. now on this season, ferrari show very weak result again. could this be a trick?

Winter testings mean little or nothing to the teams. If you observe carefully, even Friday Free Practice results are not the true representation of a team's capabilities.

Often, we see a team or two pop up the timesheets but it could have been any other team. The teams do not go testing to win the Winter Test Championship. Their testings have very specific objectives; whether is it for tyre evaluation, new aerodynamic parts, race simulations, qualifying simulation, mileage tests, etc etc. Nobody knows what kind of setup the teams are running, whether are they sandbagging or running with minimal fuel loads. Quite amusing to see some of friends sometimes arguing over the testing results.

even qualifying doesn't show the true capabilities of the car/teams, because different team/car will have diffrent tires, pitstop and re-fueling strategy. And Ross Brown is best for that.

F1 is a complex car racing game.

totally agree. in testing, they don't have to be on the top of the timesheet at all, except that if the driver want some fame or something...

the testing lap time only show the capability of the car, at least you know how fast their car can go, but being on the top of the list doesn't make you the fastest, other team might be doing some electronic testing which don't require them to go fast, so why go fast? go slow = save petrol + save rubber = save cost.

IMH2centO, testing result is purely for marketing purpose and entertainment :lol:

& team work...

kesian other driverss....
