Ted's Notebook!

The curveball is the weather. Teams won't know their performance until they get to warmer temps. I kinda like the curveball. Adds a twist into who can "turn lemons into lemonade." Challenges the teams to work that much harder into bringing their A-game. Who's willing to put up or shut up. I can already hear some of the teams that do poorly blame the cold weather testing in Barcelona as "not getting a true representative of baseline performance"--->so why are the other teams doing well???.... it's the same for everybody.
That's my 2 cents.
"It's possible that these unrepresentative conditions will mean there are problems some teams have that they won't know about until they run in warmer temperatures" - GARY ANDERSON
Thanks guys !!
FERRARI FOR EVER !!!!!!!
Anyone have a link to the Autosport Podcast with Gary Anderson? Yesterday’s was good
Gary Anderson thinks Ferrari is the car that gives our drivers the most confidence.
Ferrari look stronger then last year
Merc look the same as last year - fast but uncomfortable to drive
Also Merc have more sophisticated aero then Ferrari, however when it comes to following another car this will be better for Ferrari
Gay Anderson’s analysis that Merc aero is more “sophisticated” makes me lol. Everyone just perceives more slots and slots as sophistication. However, it is the entire package that matters. If ferrari’s overall package is more successful (yet to be seen of course, but IF) then how can it be determined that the less successful cars aero is more sophisticated?
I think that was proven last year to be honest. Also, looking at the Renault bargeboard area I would say they are some of the most complex... very fine slots and cuts. We’ll see if this “sophistication” makes it a race winner. I actually wouldn’t mind that! Would rather them than McLaren to be honest. Never forget Stepneygate!
Europe is in freeze mode warmer weather will spring a few surprises nevertheless ferrari just going about there business quietly looks promising.
Today will be interesting

I doubt we’ll see any running today. This sucks! Move testing out of Europe! This is useless.
For sure it looks promising but we've all been starved of F1 action over the winter so we need to accept that the testing is just that, times mean little, and those conditions make it even more irrelevant apart from testing reliability and the new tyre compounds, but even that won't give a true picture given the temperatures.
Two hour delay......this place is crazy bad!!!
Barcelona has and always been the first choice track for testing due to its fast sweeping corners. Has corners near the same as most of other tracks on the calender. Where as Melbourne, is a street track, not great place for data collection and correlation. Its a silly idea.
This, cold weather, snow is a "freak" system being blown from Russia.
CAVALLINO RAMPANTE PER SEMPRE
