Jenson has just done a 23 lap race simulation and posted the fastest lap in the middle of his stint. His slow laps are better than some of the others fastest ones.


The Brawn car appears to have some real pace, and contrary to yesterdays information thay will have a new aero package to try in next weeks test.

Looking good

Jenson's done another pile of blindingly fast laps consistently and has now worked down into the 1.19's......nobody else has

Brawn GP for the CC ROFL! Very Encouraging

McLaren still look to be in the shit with mechanical traction problems and diffuser/rear wing problems

Looks like Honda may well rue their pulling out decision. And Mr Brawn may well become a rich man because of it.

Good to have another independent BRITISH team on the track. Can't wait to see a Button/Hamilton battle.

Rich_w ready to concede yet? Or have you found that link? C'mon, back up your assertions!!

I think there's an element of sandbagging by certain teams, realistically it seems as though Brawn GP may well be a leading midfield team and sneak a few podiums, which is far better than back of the pack also rans like we expected.

Live updates of todays test times, looks like Brawn will be opening another 6 pack of whupass on the rest of them.

Interestingly Mclaren missed the first day of the test yesterday to floy over and fit some new parts so they should be a bit more on the pace by the end of the week.

If you do a bit of fuel adjustment on the individual lap times from the longer stints I reckon Brawn are about 0.3 seconds a lap faster than Renault today so far but not sure what compound tyres are being used
