Yes and no. Before last year I couldn't remember who's number is who. Now that they have an assigned number, I have started.

All this spotting isn't that bad on TV, but watching in person it's a bit more tricky figuring out who's who.

Barcelona F1 test: Daniel Ricciardo fastest on day two for Red Bull - F1 news - AUTOSPORT.com


So they mention that Daniel was on softs, and that Hamilton was on mediums (really good time btw for mediums) but not what tires Kimi was on. Cmon Autosport... get it together.

You watch that many races in person you are opposed to letting them change their helmets?

Honda engine? I told you all so... Told you that it not guaranteed to be any good.

Button did 7 laps and then total engine failure. Last day of testing.

Note: Verstappen WC is coming. Soon as he hits a top team with good enough car, he's going to be a star. He looks excellent.

Even though testing is now at Barcelona, I thought this column from Jerez was interesting reading: If it looks quick | F1 Blog by Darren Heath

Funny... He's already said weeks ago he has 1 design this year. I didn't realize why until this other news broke out. Now it all makes sense.

Wonder what McLaren drivers will do at Monaco.
