Surely something must have gone wrong. He can't be that slow!

Lets see what happens tomorrow!

Julian Mayo · Post by **Julian Mayo** » Wed Feb 09, 2005 11:54 am

Possibly. Yes he can. Let tomorrow come!

Massa fastest !! The Sauber was slow the last test. Wonder what they did.

Villeneuve may have forgot his glasses

The McLaren seems fast!
BAR continue having problems

Rear wing failure yesterday damaged one of the new BARs
Can't understand why Button isn't testing

He's still sulking that he's not in a Williams.

JV improved today .. still foxing though

Webber foxing from the gravel trap I take it ?

Montoya impressive!

Looks like Toyota put the legal bits on today

Graham Ross · Post by **Graham Ross** » Thu Feb 10, 2005 10:28 am

Montoya rocks!

Watch the fireworks tomorrow

The McLaren is reliable too. Couldn't ask for more

I'm starting a new thread!!

Webber is having a batch of bad luck it looks

Villeneuve must have found the Go a bit faster button

Yeah what on earth happened to Trulli .... always been up and down that guy

The Renaults are now having problems! and the Ferrari's aren't that fast! All good

Julian Mayo · Post by **Julian Mayo** » Fri Feb 11, 2005 6:42 am

my take on this is:
Alonso running light,
Montoya to Button on 1/2 tanks
Webber to Liuzzi full tanks
Except JV.

JayVee · Post by **JayVee** » Fri Feb 11, 2005 9:54 am

this is more like what you hope is happening

Yes Alonso must be light but even then, he is almost as fast as a 2004 car. This says a lot

Montoya had a problem and his running was cut short. He may have gone faster.
Raikkonen didn't even run! - Graham spoke too early

BAR are running many laps but are slow! They must have dropped the revs on the grenade Honda
Sato is back at it again, crashing cars. He must be struggling with grip poor guy. They've given him the old car to play with

Both Webber and Michael ran many laps, some of them would have to be on low. But I know they were doing their usual right ?
Mate face it, it looks like Williams and Ferrari aren't fast

Villeneuve, well lets just say that I'm starting to get worried
