Michael Schumacher is slowly being brought out of an induced coma following last month's skiing accident, his manager says.

I have no sympathy for Red Bull - I'm quite happy to see someone else on the top step for a change.

Fingers crossed for him.

titles over

Red Bull have managed to get the RB10 out again prior to "lunchtime" and have gone considerably further than their first effort as Daniel Ricciardo manages three laps without a hitch.

 

[NHale]

Dietrich Mateschitz and Helmut Marko flown yesterday to Jerez for a team meeting with Horner and Newey.

This is starting to feel like Jerez 2012 where Luca DiMontezemelo was called after Day 1 of testing because immediately they knew the car was terrible and not fixable before the start of the season.

Is he Webber? No.

'nuf said.

 

[brotkasten]

I'm not getting my hopes up over this. Red Bull will have this completely fixed, there's no doubt about that.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Vettel to win the title at Abu Dhabi on double points, confirmed.

 

[Zeknurn]

In retrospective it doesn't seem that terrible of Lotus to miss a test where they wouldn't have been able to run anyway.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

I'm not getting my hopes up over this. Red Bull will have this completely fixed, there's no doubt about that.

No, Ferrari will already have sealed the title before Red Bull gets their shit together.

Spoiler

I completely agree with you, those fucking assholes will have it all figured out by the time the first GP comes around and Vettel will be waving his penis finger around like he does every year

 

[DBT85]

I'm not getting my hopes up over this. Red Bull will have this completely fixed, there's no doubt about that.

It all depends on how easy the issues are to resolve. Newey will not give in on aero easily.

Man that Renault engine really sounds terrible :

Real problems going on at the moment.

 

[Zeppu]

I bet that's not even the RB10's final form.

Another breakdown: Hulk's Force India. Red Bull's nightmare test continues, no full laps completed today.

Sounds like fun for everyone involved.

Sounds like they lifted the engine from a scrap yard.

 

[Caramello]

That Renault engine is in all sorts of trouble

Heads are gonna roll methinks.

Yep. Too much at stake here.

That sounded just like our vacuum cleaner when i managed to vacuum a sock...

 

[brotkasten]

I think I'm starting to get used to it.

 

[cmr-94]

Red Bull are one. Their own problem not the powerunit

 

[mclem]

I need someone at the event to tell me at what rate Christian Horner's right foot is oscillating. Only then can we get a true feel for the challenges ahead of Red Bull.

That's kind of... not good.

 

[kharma45]

I think I'm starting to get used to it.

It's not quite as bad the first pictures. Still don't think I'll warm to it as much as the 2012 car.

Lee McKenzie, BBC F1 pit-lane reporter

"Red Bull's nightmare test continues. I'm told they are done for the day. They were hoping to get out for another installation lap at about 16:30 local but that is now not going to happen. They will be hoping to fix whatever problems they're having with the energy-recovery system overnight in time to get in some miles on the final day on Friday."

 

[Hasney]

Keep seeing the Ferrari and throwing up in my mouth a little.

Wish they could keep those metal bits though, maybe add some spikes to them and make them rotate to defend against overtakes.

 

[Hammer24]

They should run with the aero test gear all season, it so nicely detracts from the nose.

 

[Diablo Rosso]

Red Bull having problems is kind of hilarious. Meanwhile, Kevin Magnussen has gone out in the McLaren for the first time.

 

[mclem]

Mutterings that we might see a Marussia soon.

I'm looking forward to seeing their car, I hope they continue to close the gap to the rest.

 

[DrM]

AMuS reporting that FIA is not pleased with crash-test results for FW on two teams and they force them to alter them.

Some rumors points to Mercedes and RBR.

 

[navanman]

Renault blaming RBR for their own problems.
They have installed the ERS and turbo outside Renault's recommended positioning in the car.

[kharma45]

IT'S NOT UGLY

Edit - Missed the finger nose in the pic I posted, disguised well enough.

 

[On The Edge of Insanity]

Renault blaming RBR for their own problems.
They have installed the ERS and turbo outside Renault's recommended positioning in the car.

It is strange, because paddock talk last year made it sound as if RBR had a very close relationship with Renault and would have a big say in how the engine was developed, with their own car in mind. That clearly isn't the case.

Red Bull like nose, not bad.

Is it me or do the cars look bigger?

 

[Hammer24]

This is fun!

 

[Zeppu]

Wouldn't it be awesome if RBR were totally terrible the first few races and then slowly become better but with no chance of regaining enough points to win.

Then near the end of the season when they'll obviously be at the top of their game and getting back to back wins they'll be snagging double the points every race.

Sounds delightful.

 

[John_B]

It honestly would be more interesting if Red Bull were just in the top mix and not above it. Honestly the RB for the last four seasons has been throttle down through sections and corners like no other car.

Either way it's going to be an insane season. Unless that McLaren rear suspension turns it into 2009.

 

[Osiris]

I need someone at the event to tell me at what rate Christian Horner's right foot is oscillating. Only then can we get a true feel for the challenges ahead of Red Bull.

So many cycles per second that Horners foot is currently interfering with the trackside wifi network.

[brotkasten]

I'm sure Ferrari is happy to finally have another engine on the track.

Interesting roll hoop setup on the marussia
