That is 100% Newey’s design right there.....we,re gonna have to see how well it works though

The Alfa Romeo red looks glorious. A shame Ferrari have persisted with the same shade as previous years.

I meant the engine cover. It's so tightly packaged that there is so much floor for aero.

Yeah no guarantees yet, but when the engine allowed they were faster or could keep up with us last year, so it's worrying, but we should have the upperhand on power and hopefully tyre use.

It sure looks good, but hopefully we'll have the upper hand.

Not sure who will be going out again but someone at the circuit has spotted Ricciardo in the @redbullracing motorhome as he had taken off his racesuit so not sure if he goes out again this afternoon.

Ferrari has given up on any running on this day. The Scuderia won't go out today. They haven't decided who will be driving the car tomorrow. - F1today.net

I hope they do what's best for the team, that's more important than fair IMO

what a bummer.....we should get an extra day just because of that.....maybe the FIA will do something about it....but something tells me otherwise....:(

**Tifoso** · 28th February 2018, 17:37

Why is Alonso the only time? Rained out?

too cold and there was snow this morning (have over 20pics if you would like me to post).....so the testing got moved back 2hrs....still cold and it started to rain. Ferrari said no. Mercedes (Hamiltons turn......who hates testing coupled with the weather) no either. Both due to the cold and data collection.

The others...there was no official response but they did not come out. RedBull along with Sauber did and installation lap then called it quits. So only Mclaren came out.

just released: Ferrari says it saw "no point" in trying to complete any running on a snow-affected third day of #F1 pre-season testing at Barcelona.

Considering how ridiculously laid back that he is, he should jump into the stimulator.

BREAKING. Day 4 session will run continuously from 9AM to 6PM. There will be no lunch break and neither pit-lane walkabout.
