The second post of this thread contains a direct link to the Java Window for the test session in Barcelona. Here is the link again :wink:

So why do you think Hakkinen is testing again ?
Many thx Ed! It seems that my firewall here at work doesnt like the live feed, have to see what there is to be done! Many thx anyway for the help! :lol:

To be honest, I dont really know! He is a good and fast driver but hasnt been in a F1 since 2001 so I really dont understand Ron. But it could be that he has a lot to give to the team regarding tyre testing. Seems that his laptime is improving alot! :wink: Let's see what that old man can do! :D

No worries TheFinn.

Have you tried the HTML version (click here). It isn't as good as the Java one but has most of the information

It looks like once he got all the rust away, he's only 3 seconds off the pace and that is after just 38 laps! His input now starts to become valuable.

Yes, that's more like it. If Hakkinen only stayed in the 1.40s then people would have asked "why bother?" Rightfully so too :)

True, the simulator is nothing like the real car but after clocking many laps at horrendous times and then suddenly starting to improve dramatically made me think that Hakkinen and McLaren was up to something else.

The HTML site has been playing up and is slow we've noticed!

Even the Java page is playing up.

But no worries, we'll try to keep everyone posted. Of course other valued members continue providing information after we log off!

Ed wrote: Good point Snowy, the official team press releases call it the SF1 team interim car. That doesn't have the designation of last year's cars (SA06).
However, Super Aguri cannot just use the Honda. It could be the SA06 with a Honda rear end or something!

As for the one car, well they could be short on resources or drivers. Williams are only testing with one car and Spyker are not testing at all.

One thing for sure, if they are using a fully built Honda, they'll be some protests!
Certainly. That'd be really unfair to Spyker for one. If Aguri is using a Honda then what's keeping STR from using RBR? Poor old Spyker does not have that kind of luxury...

Dare I add your English is very good if you are a Finn!

Hi and welcome. I was going to welcome you earlier in Finnish but Babel Fish doesn't do English to Finnish so I spent a bit of time looking for some Finnish, got side tracked and heere we are an hour later and only just saying hello. :?

Oh and I've been trying to get a cup of coffee! :roll:
