Alonso starts his latest run with a 1m24.2s, just a touch slower than his current personal best.

small info: Hulkenberg and Vettel did their fastest laps with mediums, Hamilton and Ricciardo with softs... Alonsos fastest lap was on mediums also...
RB front wing:
as of now the F2012 is pouring in some laps. reliability issue are "somehow" answered. hopefully more
Hell would have broken loose
P Driver Team Time Laps
1 Vettel Red Bull 1m23.343s 38
2 Hulkenberg Force India 1m23.440s +0.097 43
3 Hamilton McLaren 1m23.590s +0.247 42
4 Ricciardo Toro Rosso 1m23.618s +0.275 45
5 Alonso Ferrari 1m24.100s +0.757 33

10 Kovalainen Caterham 1m27.537s +4.194 9
11 Pic Marussia 1m29.248s +5.905 65
The good sign for us is that we dont do cooling laps between the laps and that means that means we are not loooking for quick lap times like ohers do.
Hamilton: on soft

Vettel and hamilton clearly looking for quick lap time on their short runs meanwhile we are doing long runs.

Fernando did not improve his best lap and is finishing the morning job with practice starts
Also Ricciardo did his fastest lap on the soft tyres.
So, lunch time and FA has done 37 laps. Think he'll make 100 today?
Can't see why not. Vettel's only done 38 .
Analysis:
Hamilton did a qick lap then a cooling lap the tried to push again, but because he was using the soft tyres they didnt give him another lap so he went into the pit.
Vettel did the same thing, but because he he used the medium compound on his run he could do a second slightly slower lap after the cooling lap.
If their fuel loads were similar that means the red bull is 5 tenth ahead of macca.
Meanwhile Alonso was doing long runs and was not looking for quick laptimes but the times are not cosistent and with no cooling laps between the laps. So i can read out that the car is reasonably quick but it overheats the tyres and that could be a big problem because temperature now in barcelona is 8 degrees celsius and during the season it will be much hotter.
joseluisf1:
"In the afternoon, if they consider it appropriate, Ferrari could begin to test new parts, but again, reliability is top priority"
so according to joseluis they havent tested new parts yet...on photos are no new parts to see also so it could be true...
Ferrari carried out straightline test before Barcelona! Good news!!

last season the italia is having problems on not achieving optimum tyre temp, now it is over heating, maybe this is the reason why the f2012 is reasonably quick, hopefully they can find a solution to this.
by the way is it the rear or the front tyres???
Hell would have broken loose
Hulkenbergs fastest lap was on a 2laps run on medium:
30 outlap
35 1:23.440
36 1:23.840 +0.4
37 inlap
So 2023 started off bad, but managed to claw back some lap time come end of the year. Lets hope SF24 will give us tifosi something to smile about.
So we went from not heating the tyres to burning them? From one extreme to the other...
Alonso went threw three phases on his long runs:
1.The fast first lap.
2. Much slower but consistent 3-5 laps.
3. The tyres are gone much slower times then went into the pit.
First run:
outlap
15 1:24.100
16 1:24.894 +0.794
17 1:25.257 +0.363
21 1:25.444 +0.187
23 1:27.568 +2.124
inlap
Second run:
outlap
26 1:24.232 -3.336
27 1:24.984 +0.752
28 1:25.194 +0.21
29 1:25.247 +0.053
30 1:25.168 -0.079
31 1:25.129 -0.039
32 1:26.593 +1.464
inlap
Notice on the second lap on both runs more than 7 tenth slower than the first lap.
