With testing being so long there has been plenty of time to try out new parts for the new season, Most notably a new front suspension design and a redesigned exhaust package
been away at a race (not for me yet ) and a looong roadtrip since thursday morning, and got home just a couple of hours ago. but this will finish tomorrow then it's GAME ON!
NEW CONTRACTS, NEW CARS, NEW DRIVERS David Carter made the best deal with Mercedes
Even though they didn't have any signed contracts Williams showed up in Spain
David Carter in his brand new Mercedes car topped the ranks at the end of the pre-season testing. He was very pleased with the speed in his "sword-fish" car. -There has been plenty of time to try out new parts for the new season. Most notably a new front suspension design and a redesigned exhaust package.
Erik Tveit finished 2nd for Red Bull Racing and rookie Bradley Vanian ended up 3rd with his Lotus. -Top 3 in my first run, yay!
Scott Malcolm found some great speed in his McLaren and clocked a 4th time. He will realy be looking to keep that pace through out the season. However his new teammate, rookie Chris Jenkins never even got in his car. Most have been some kind of problem with the new nose.
Omer Said chrashed his Sauber on his outlap and destroyed it. Reigning champion James Chant got a 10th place after what he clamed to be a sand bagging run. Omer Said: -We are crash testing, I'm sure this will be a more advantage for us in the season.
Williams still don't have any signed drivers, but they still brought their cars to Spain, with hope to find a drivers. Turned out to be a bad decision.
What's HOT! David Carter, Mercedes. Gave up a practicly signed contract at Ferrari, due to it making him the replacement for his good friend Danny Asbury who had been forced of the team. Instead he went to sign with Mercedes, who had already signed Asbury. Goes to show you the friendship is worth more than Italian money.
What's NOT! Williams, Toro Rosso, Marussia and Force India. All still without any drivers.
The season begins sooner than you expect, or not, at Albert Park in Australia, the home of Lotus driver Aidan Keranen.

Teams have prepared for a long time, and it's finaly here. Season 16 begings now! On pole position for the first race of the season we have David Carter, the winner of the pre-season testing.
