So what's the latest? Any confirmation on the whereabouts and dates for their extra testing sessions? Anything?

They need to somehow find a couple seconds with their new aero package. If they can, it will be a miracle!

Trying to find Speed? Maybe they take a look at the affiliated STR team? :)

Speed's suit was hanging in the STR cupboard for the entire offseason. Problem is, Berger decided he'd keep Speed hanging in there too.

Actually I think that Webber might surprise at Albert Park as he has always been quick there, whatever the car is. I think he may well qualify into the last session and fight for points in the race. Not sure, what is gonna happen in the next races though.

I tend to bring a parallel from 2004, when Jaguar was also quite uncompetitive, but Mark qualified 6th in Australia and was driving 8th until retirement. But for most of the season he was driving out of point positions.

Two teams clearly worried about their pre-season form. Red Bull's difficulties are fairly well documented, whereas Toyota have been keeping a very low profile.

I read from somewhere that in Ralf's opinion new Toyota TF107 is a 'catastrophe' and that they would be lucky to beat anyone in Australia...

A "catastrophe".

And I thought Alonso was always complaining. Now thatīs a good complain!

Especially after Jarno beat him by about 4 seconds in Jerez testing today after Ralf had 2 spins! Sounds like the car suits JT fine!
