For those who followed the first day of testing on Sky, was there a TED's notebook at the end?

No, they (Karun, Crofty and the female reporter I don't know the name of) just sat around in the paddock and talked about the first day.

McLaren have not been out for a while, and still haven't posted a time... any one have any news on this?

[Thunder]

They're probably removing the Aero Test Rig / changing Setup.

Every time the car has been out, it has been fitted with bunch of aero sensors ects, and they go back to pits right away. I guess this morning is more about aero correlation as it takes time to mount/dismount all of those gimmicks

The Mercedes testing program is infuriating to follow!

Does Ricciardo's 1:19.8 mean Renault have got the DRS working today?

[Thunder]

Yes, AMuS reports DRS is working on Ricciardo's Car.

LEC is not mucking around ... started raking up the laps like VET did yesterday. He just did a 1:19:1

.. as much as this raises the hopes as a Ferrari Fan... its the silence and "playing down themselves" tactics from the Mercedes keeps bothering me...

Same here. I'm escalating inside out of curiosity how this years pecking order is going to turn out. But I do think some of the best references one can have, is how confident the drivers appear in their post testing interviews.

With all the respect i dont want to offend anyones intellect. Speaking from my gut, it seems that Ferrari has less gravitational pull in the corners, I’m thinking this is because its cleaner and lighter on the top. I also had this counterintuitive feeling which i cant explain, I’m thinking with DRS open it will gain more than others.

What exactly do you mean by gravitational pull in the corners?

It's like watching paint dry.
