Rookie test in Jerez

ziig · 1 Dec 2009, 06:57 (Ref:2592122)

The 3 day rookie test starts today in Jerez.
Does anyone have a link to live timing?

Fujer · 1 Dec 2009, 08:41 (Ref:2592153)

yeah that would be awsome

Shaddix · 1 Dec 2009, 09:14 (Ref:2592164)

rumours talk about Baguette also going to test for Sauber this week

N.A-D.R · 1 Dec 2009, 09:47 (Ref:2592179)

Anyone know of any sort of live timing? It would be very appreciated.

Cheers.

Baguette??? I just had one for lunch

Looks like he's testing for Renault not Sauber thou.

Nice to see Paffett and conway clock up some mileage

Shaddix · 1 Dec 2009, 13:14 (Ref:2592252)

The best I can do is suggest you look here, but I don't think it includes Live Timing.

At least you'll get the full times, possibly before the websites post them, and you might get the morning session separately. Suck it and see, as they say.

Shaddix · 1 Dec 2009, 18:22 (Ref:2592419)

autosport.be said BMW Sauber just confirmed that Baguette is testing for the team on Thursday

More on the topic

Finally a swede in a F1 car! and a promising swede to

I had not thought of that before - the lack of Swedish drivers in F1 I mean. I am old enough to remember Ronnie Peterson, a true great in my opinion.

EBXR8 · 2 Dec 2009, 01:45 (Ref:2592622)

Ricciardo Not too shabby, well quicker than hartley in the torro rosso, could he be in the running for the uncomfirmed seat at torro rosso for 2010??? Bueimi is the only confirmed driver according to the FIA teams release. ????

Rossi and Hildebrand??? USF1 might just get ther Yank driver afterall.

N.A-D.R · 2 Dec 2009, 06:40 (Ref:2592670)

Alguasuari is pretty much confirmed for the 2nd seat, however Ricciardo is very likely to become Red Bull's Test/Reserve driver for 2010 season, and he seems next inline for a f1 seat, as he seems favoured more than Hartley now. It's looking good for him, as if Alguasuari doesn't perform i'd say Ricciardo is going to replace him.

jab · 2 Dec 2009, 14:31 (Ref:2592868)

There's Bortolotti to come yet. Don't count your chickens

Shaddix · 2 Dec 2009, 14:59 (Ref:2592875)

Bortolotti hasn't enough experience I think

jab · 2 Dec 2009, 15:04 (Ref:2592878)

Well he broke the lap record at Fiorano last year

He's also older than (only just) and has the same level of experience as Alguersuari

but Alguersuari drove more powerfull cars than Bortolotti did
I think Bortolotti should do a year of GP2 or WSBR first

I don't disagree. Jaime should have too. But Tost, Marko and co might have other ideas

Fiorentina 1 · 2 Dec 2009, 17:37 (Ref:2592954)

So far I think Soucek and Daniel Ricciardo should be on the grid next year based on their test results and past history. Maybe Red Bull will put Daniel Ricciardo in the second seat and Alguersuari could bring his sponsorship money to Campos next season. Andy Soucek for sure needs to be on the grid in 2010!

I'll be interested to see what Baguette does tomorrow in the Sauber. The young Americans, with a season of GP2 should be good to go in 2011 as well. I was very impressed with Hildebrand, who has much less experience then a lot of other guys out there.

He was average in GP2, don't think the F2 series is anwhere near the level of GP2, or F3 Euroseries.

FastFreddie · 2 Dec 2009, 18:07 (Ref:2592974)

Pato

I think that's a little harsh on F2. So far they've only had one season and its first champion is already looking like a strong contender for an F1 seat next year. I don't think yesterday at Jerez was a fluke.

Soucek didn't have a great time in GP2 (certainly not in his second year) but he's shown what he's capable of in equal machinary in 2009. Similar story with Kobayashi really - 2 seconds off the pace in GP2 but looks the business in a Toyota Formula One car.

GP2 has a lot of advantages and has a very quick car, but I'm not sure how good it is for assessing driver talent.

Euro F3 has a decent track record in producing good drivers but, like GP2, is crazily expensive.
