Test 2 - Spain - Catalunya

21st, 22nd, 23rd and 24th February 2012


Discussion thread for the second weeks testing of the season.
 
This is the big session. Looking forward to it. Can't see any real surprises happening but I'll be keeping an eye on Lotus Renault and Kimi.
 
Two things made me think about:
1. Hulkenberg FI 1:23.440 compared to Di Resta's 1:23.332 and Sutil's 1:23.648
2. Ricciardo TR 1:23.618 compared to Alguersuari's 1:23.694 and Buemi's 1:23.231

I know the cars usually don't show their full potential in testing but these times are pretty similar to last years Q1 and Q2 times. I think this is a sign and we can expect faster mid pack.
 
Yes I know and that's why I think we might have a faster mid pack cause even in testing 2012 cars set similar times to last year's Q where they were pushing like hell. I still think all cars lap 3-4 seconds off their potential pace.

11:33 Hulkenberg's time is over half a second quicker than what Vettel managed yesterday. But it's still far from last year's best during testing: 1 m21.268s, set by Michael Schumacher

So that I think is the real comparison.

This time is faster than last year Q1! You know mid teams push hard in Q1, they don't cruise. Cool it looks I'll be right about the pace of the mid pack :) Now we have to see the big teams :)

My point is it's much slower than last year's equivalent Test.
