The teams will be back to the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona from Thursday for the last four days of testing.

SkySports F1 will be televising the sessions from 2.00 pm onwards each day.

Anderson has changed his tune. He was slating Mercedes earlier.

The car was certainly not as bad as the results showed last year. They were plagued with reliability issues.

Roll on Melbourne

I really fancy Lewis to cause some upset in Melbourne.
Jenson Button is alredy playing the excuse game about his car but I think he might be trying to hide the true pace of the McLaren. I wish both Jenson and Lewis all the best come Australia.

Anderson has nothing to lose by predicting Mercedes to win the championship.

Anderson does not impress me at all. He is a typical pundit like Johnny Herbert and all the rest of the so called experts. They are employed to produce their quota of comments to fill up the spaces on the media. One week they publish one view, (assisted of course by a professional writer) and the next week they say the opposite, in the hope that no one notices their contradictions.

As for pre-season testing, there is quite a lot that a reasonable intelligent TV viewer can learn. That is why Sky televise it and forums discuss it. Why would a person waste their time watching something that they could not learn from?

Ooops – I think my mention of Hamilton's lap time has upset the Über Hamilton Hater.

I wonder which one of the Hamilton haters will be the first to rejoice when they see the McLaren car, driven by a guy with a yellow helmet, crash.

That was a scorching lap from Lewis today.

I've been saying that the title is gonna b a fight between Button, Vettel and Alonso but Mercedes have clearly put together a much better car than they've been letting on, and Lotus have intrigued me throughout the whole winter.

This next fortnight is gonna drag so much. :/

Roll on the 15th.

I honestly believe that there will be 5 teams and their drivers winning races this season.

Make sure you subscribe to the http://www.zdkf1.com/ prediction forum. I have already decided my "predictions" and will be posting them tomorrow.

My submissions will not actually be "predictions" but more wishes.

Interesting quote from Hamilton yesterday:

"Mercedes are doing a great job in the engine department and the car. But we have not seen Jenson, Sebastian or Alonso in the car today."

Probably reading too much into it but it looks a lot like Lewis considers Button just as big of a title contender as Vettel and Alonso.

I bet that won't sit well with his legions of football fans.

No! The Legionaires will be surprised that he left out Kimi.

Ooh, good point.

Lotus have been there or thereabouts all the way through testing.

...

Y'know what sod it. Trying to make head or tail of this winter is making my head hurt.

P.S. Please don't take my last comment as a dig at all Hamilton fans, just the ones who refuse to acknowledge that there are other drivers on the grid.

Ah! The hamelots. Just as bad as the anti-hamilton brigade

Exactly, Daredevil.

The ones who put all their efforts into ruining F1 for everyone else.
