In case you were not aware (and indeed this might be relevant for you to tell your partners on that end of the paddock) the McLaren has come down with herpes.

I expect Ferrari to have a good car with reliability issues this year, while Sauber gets back to the midfield.

>>1214 the ferrari does seem to be much more aggressive and less bulky this year.
I was really shocked by how long wheelbase the toro rosso was. they really must be focusing on low drag.

>>1270 apparently force india will be a no show. I suspect that most cars will be able to do much longer stints. I also suspect the lotus' sidepods and rear aero are modular, and that they deliberately went conservative for the first test.

>>1272 Unsurprising. They probably wanted to see if their new chassis is any good.

Alonso crashes, airlifted to hospital Backmarker 02/22/15 (Sun) 13:43:46 a42c00 No. 1302
From the Sky Sports feed; Our colleagues at German publication Motor und Sport have quoted Sebastian Vettel, who was behind Alonso on the road when the McLaren crashed out, as saying: "The speed was slow - maybe 150kph. Then he turned right into the wall. It looked strange."

Is the E23 a genuinely good car and we might see some good Lotus results or are all the other teams sandbagging?

>>1303 Mercedes is sandbagging, but the E23 seems to be a top shelf car. It is likely to be among the best of the Williams, Ferrari, red bull group
