| Half the number of laps by Schumi compared to the top 2 guys.  Since these are un-official timings, i feel there's no need to be worried. But i am already worried at Schumi's lap numbers  |

| Senior - BHPian  | Wow! Welcome back Michael! The master has lost none of his pace.  Even though the afternoon conditions were favorable, Schumi gradually built up his pace and was over half a second to Nico, with whom he shared the W01. [That's the reason for the lower number of laps] It's really premature to read a lot into the times set on the 1st day of testing, as teams are doing their shakedown and with varying fuel loads too. But it is a mighty impressive of Michael in his first official run after 3 years! Massa also made a great comeback posting the fastest time and raking in a lot of laps with the F10 which will do both of them a world of good. Oh! I can't wait for Wednesday.  |

 Good, even impressive performance, from Massa, who's been away from driving duties for quite a while. And an even more impressive performance by Schumi who's been away for almost 3 years (but we didn't expect anything less did we ?) ! Can't help but think that he's only going to get faster & faster. Also nice to know that the new Ferrari is quick right off the mark But, the big guns haven't even begun firing yet - there's still Alonso & Lewis (& possibly to a lesser extent Button). | |

| Senior - BHPian | Wow! Another day and Massa fastest again with a time of 1.11.722. What amazes me is the sheer number of laps, 124. Obviously, it’s too early to draw any conclusions from this performance, but it’s still a very good way to start the season and the F10 looks good.  Now, only if the Ferrari's notorious drinking habits can be tamed... which will be critical this season... The times on the 2nd day Pos Driver Team Time Laps 1. Massa Ferrari (B) 1:11.722 124 2. Kobayashi BMW Sauber-Ferrari (B) 1:12.056 96 3. Hamilton McLaren-Mercedes (B) 1:12.256 108 4. Kubica Renault (B) 1:12.426 119 5. Rosberg Mercedes GP (B) 1:12.899 119 6. Barrichello Williams-Cosworth (B) 1:13.377 102 7. Buemi Toro Rosso-Ferrari (B) 1:13.823 107 Today, 3 world champions will be on the track - Jenson Button, Fernando Alonso and Michael!!!!! Michael visited the Ferrari garage yesterday to have lunch. Schumi couldn’t resist the Italian cuisine and wanted to taste a plate of Spaghetti aglio, olio and peperoncino prepared by the Scuderia’s chef Carmine. |

| BHPian | the other images of VIRGIN RACING 01; looks very bland without too much appendages; lets see after the tests hopefully branson will not have to be a steward in the competitors flight (hope people remember the bet  )  front wing looks too simple and gap in the ends plates look very big for wind to flow outwards probably color scheme is making it looks like that nice color scheme |

| Senior - BHPian | The first F1 test concludes. So the sleek F10 looks good after the first F1 test. The F10 was the car to beat on all 3 days. But what is really impressive is the sheer amount of laps the Ferrari covered in 3 days. A whopping 354 laps or a little more than 1400kms. The F10 looks bulletproof and that's the most important outcome of the first test. The engineers can now dive deep into the sea of information from the telemetry and extract those micro-seconds out of the car. But the overall reliability for most teams has been amazing for the season's first test. Gone are the days when the first days of testing ware associated with Red Flags [a lot of them] and stalled cars in a cloud of smoke. However, it is difficult to draw conclusions with regard to the sheer speed of cars as teams usually run different plans. Now for the 2nd test and the most awaited launch of the new Red Bull RB6 on Feb 10; where Adrian Newey never seizes to amaze. |

| Senior - BHPian | If only they awarded points for good looks. Isn't the VR01 gorgeous! Surely Sir Richard Charles Nicholas Branson had a hand in the livery and decal job |
