Mclaren after struggling early on ended up showing some good late practise pace. Honda has been fast as well and both Renault and Williams. Renault has shown remarkable reliability and McLaren the opposite. The dark horses (too much private BIG money testing to really know) will be Ferrari and Toyota and wild card is BMW.

It is "realy" interesting to see the very fast laps put in by Kimi and Ant the last couple of days of the final testing week....... of course these were set at the very end of the day and with ( I expect) very little fuel on board...... McLaren and Honda going for the Winter Championship ? Testing times should be taken with a large grain of salt..... times at Valencia with a salt lick....and times set at the end of the day during the last minutes of winter testing should be sponsored by Morton ! I remember one winter when the Prost team won the Winter Championship........
Renault has been fast on their long runs...... Honda was fast at Bahrain in the heat...... Ferrari put in fast times in the last day or so at Bahrain but they were the only ones there at that time so it is really hard to put their times in any perspective........

Yeah I was suffering with Mclarens early pace - Then they seem to have gotten things figured out a little.
And Davidsons amazing last final track record. Shattering any V10 record of last year. So much for slowing things down.
Way to go MAX again...
Is he on a mission to destroy the series...?

I can't remember - somewhere on this vast site.
I think that as with most years winter testing is all about going out at the last of each session with light tanks, no wing and big balls to set the time to get your sponsors name on Atlas F1.
Crunch time is this Sunday afternoon!
