Default F1 Test in Catalunya.

Im just back from two days in the Barcelona sun,and I can tell you that Alonso is quick but is all over the road,and went off a few times,Hamilton and Buttons car sounds awful, looks slow and has been pretty unreliable.The Red Bulls look very strong as do the Renaults,Williams and Force Indias.As for the Mercedes though it was in a world of its own.I know the times dont show this but belive me they looked surefooted and sounded sweet.

I think the Williams could be a suprise this year.

Really hard to tell though from testing what cars are fastest as they have humungous fuel tanks now to last them all race and you don't know who is doing low fuel runs to impress potential sponsors.

also have to consider who is going to be kind on tyres too!! button will excel at this and i think schuey will too and tbh i think webber may be softer than some of the others too. but hamilton,massa and vettal may struggle imo.
