Cool. Micheal is up top!

All the teams are probably sandbagging.

All the teams are probably sandbagging.

Even Force India? :)

[wmcot]

Which teams were on slicks and 2009 aero, and which were 2008 specs?

[Tazio]

It's impossible to draw conclusions from testing. Especially when teams are using 2008 spec's,
as well as 2009 specs, and combinations of the two. I must say that on appearances
Mike has had a tendency to bring out the best in Fred. ;)

MS was on 2009 aero and was sampling slick tires.
FA was testing with the new 2008 aero package and set his best time on slicks. The same for Sutil.

Mikes own words seem to imply he mixed and matched slicks, 2008 spec,and 2009 spec.

Q. What do you think of the improvement of Renault in Barcelona?

MS: I didn't watch, honestly I didn't see.

Q. They have managed to get to the top of the times.

MS: Yeah but you know at this test I don't think the times will be so precise because we slick tyres, grooved tyres, 2008 regulations, 2009 regulations, you have high fuel, low fuel and you have all sorts of variables. It's not really clear who was doing what at what time.
