2015 Pre-Season Test - Jerez

[S1000RR]

Nasr 1:21.867 on soft

[Yoda401]

I do not think so, it is still more than 3 seconds slower than in 2013.

In relation to the start of the 'power unit' era from 2014, it seems quick, not in relation to the refined V8s.

I think the lap record is actually around the 1.15 mark and is held by Schumacher?

[S1000RR]

Mercedes drops out for today. 91 laps. several small issues.

Would be nice to see if Seb can do more than that, he is on 74 now, same as Nasr

[ferrari4life]

anyone have 2014 tests timeing from jerez?

[Sriharsha]

74 laps so far, hope we get 90+. every lap helps for us

Sauber also thinks the engine has taken a step forward so positive news so far.

I am way long into this sport, and I know that winter testing doesn't mean much... But... Finger crossed... Not to jinx anything...

So far... So good... So...

Hope for good and we are not chasing for WDC or WCC we are fighting for revival , We have good signs, now its upto team to continue the same good time and build them to get better by 2016 and further to make those times Great and fantastic

All times and laps from 2014 testing day by day.

@WilliamsRacing: "It's raining so @ValtteriBottas has jumped out. Must be the @MercedesAMGF1 water leak"

[S1000RR]

to bad we don't do a rain stint?

[Avantifer12]

All rake addicts, here you go, this is the benchmark. Find the SF15T in same angle and we can start comparing.

[Nero Horse]

It's certainly great and satisfying to see our car on top of the times list on two days in a row, and our pace really does seem to be good even on the longer stints, but I think a better indication of our true speed will be when Kimi starts his testing runs. If he can also set such fast times then that would indicate that the car is very good indeed. So let's see what happens tomorrow. *fingers crossed*

[Tony]

Let's not get too far ahead of ourselves, I remember there were a few encouraging signs in the first test last year as well until the last test session when everyone start to push a little more and Ferrari started to acknowledge they were on the back foot...

Until the first race, I wont be reading anything into these test sessions....

[SinanOzerS]

I don't give a single F about the lap times, but; two trouble-free days in a row ? That's something to be called a "great start".

[S1000RR]

770 km on the Ferrari PU today. Great work with Sauber.

[Winter]

Hopefully tomorrow will be nice day without any rain and Kimi gets decent amount of laps. I'm very interested what he has to say about the car and how it feels compared to F14T.

[Nero Horse]

That's the end of the second day's running here in Jerez. Ferrari power leads the way again with Vettel fastest from Nasr's Sauber.

Some rake

[ARUN M KARUNAN]

I thinks sf15t is good step forward. I knew we have to wait till australia. But the signs of realibility encourages me. Waiting for Kimi to takeover

[KurtC]

is good to see there was no big problems on testing, and a nice bonus to see the red car on top of the times... let's wait for kimi's run, and to keep positive about this year, ferrari can put a fight

[Ed Harley]

Based on these two days alone I'm cautiously optimistic.

Horner

Well, good to see our winter testing going relatively well. As others have said, this is certainly not the time to read into the lap times yet. What's important is to get in all the laps and do all the testing the team need, ie. no any major reliability interrupting our program. So it's nice to see things going well, no any fire or smoke.

ps: Hope Vettel has gotten accustom well to the Ferrari environment, or as much as it's possible in 2 days of testing.
