    Man, I wish I could see what you're posting.

    BTW, are you using the "Upload a File" button and then the "Full Size" option?

    Wowzer . . . Maybe just some radical experimentation with set-up/geometry/ballast? Perhaps even at the request of Pirelli . . . They did do a boatload of laps today.

    This is why I don't buy into Alonso's claims "he doesn't need more testing".

    It's one thing to do a few fast laps. It's another thing to have your tires last long enough for a race under all conditions. Without testing long distances under different loads you do not know.

    The easiest way to win a race is in the pits.

    Ferrari! Great performance today! Loads of laps, great lap time. Got to be pleased with that!

    McLaren finally had a proper day, but their pace seems very poor. Not convinced they have the car they need yet.

    Stroll - why? Such a waste of a seat and soundly beaten by Kubica

    STR/Gasly 3rd fastest for the day with an impressive amount of laps by the Honda. My hopes are up for Toro Rosso.

    Copy that times 1000!

    I would love to see TR, Haas, and Alfa fight for a possible podium at times.

    This was a pretty good day for Haas.

    I'm on an Android phone (Samsung), using the "old" style FChat format, but makes no difference whether old, new or even mobile VS desktop site. Very curious. Will check on my Windows laptop...

    Going to be another long year of Mercedes domination. No one was CLOSE to their race sim times. If we turn up in AUS and Merc has .5 on the field I might tune out

    Ferrari look pretty strong so far, and reliably so. Mercedes still seem class of the field, but those tyre issues hopefully will turn into some disastrous wear during races, especially if they don’t start one two every race or drop behind, wear will be even worse in dirty air while in testing, they can manage the air around them staying away from close running. Please be a good starting car Ferrari

    So what they do is create a hot spot on digital cameras. Its like shining a flashlight in your eyes.

    Some people have made them for license plate holders to blind Red light cameras. Same idea.

    The question is... is Ferrari really having an illegal double defuser at the back and they are trying to hide it. What they are doing may be considered a "gray area" and some teams may protest it.
