Thanks for correction. I only caught half of it as its on in the background at present.

Mercedes looks that they can easy challange Ferrari for 2n spot in constructions ?!

[PlatinumZealot]

What time and will it be on youtube?

I'm pretty sure he said "Tim Elliot".

But was probably referring to Mike as I'm not aware of a "Tim Elliot" at Mercedes

For the record Ted said "Mike Elliot" not "Tim".

I don't think we are referring to the same time stamp. I'm certain I heard tim and it struck me at the time as bizzare.

Someone did say or write Tim Elliott today - I distinctly remember it as well

The drivers have their say:

[AR3-GP]

[Piergiuseppe Donadoni] The current W14, which didn't convince in the wind tunnel, is a transition specification between the zeropods concept (W13) and what the real W14 will be after the update packages of the first part of the season. From then on, Mercedes believes they can win races.

This sounds a lot like last year's Spanish GP upgrades, which didn't really thrust them into serious contention either because the other teams had upgrades of their own.

Not 100% sure but might be part of Teds notebook or the development corner on Sky.

Edit: just found it on F1TV @ 3hrs 38mins in on the replay.

9pm UK time development corner with guest Mike Elliot. This is the car that needs the most development of the season, where he describes what they done to the car etc etc.

Why do you need a transition spec if you already know it's a dud?
Must be very complex then

Seems a bit strage if it didn't convince in the wind tunnel why they developed it

You're asking a chicken and the egg question. The car has to be developed and found to "not be convincing" in order for them to change course. They are not oracles. They don't know it's not going to work.
