After all his pace was there for a good proportion of the second half of the season and he didn't make the most of it. The killer blow was that devastating loss at Hockenheim where he had utterly domianted the race only to lose out in the last lap!! I still can't get over that! On one hand i've always thought of him as a very quick driver but on the other hand he's hasn't really come through with the rest of the package has he? Still I would've thought he warranted a 3rd season just to see if he still had the fire in him to right some wrongs as it were? Re the testing thanks for those times Adri_tifosi. The 'faces' at the front look like what most people have predicted. I.E Timo, Antonio, but surely a few eyebrows have been raised by young Villa's pace and perhaps also that of Pastor M? ART doubly unimpressive and Arden look at sixes and sevens so far? |

Wasn't Villa already strong during the last tests?

it is still very early to think about anything obviously Glock and Pizzonia are on the pace but i guess ART , and drivers like Zuber,Fillipi,Pantano will not be so far off the pace

among newcomers, maybe yes. Definitely first time he did quite well among strong contenders. Time to pay back the confidence put in him...

not a bad start for Risatti, isn't it?
Durango, as usual, is unpredictable. GP2 test rules are really non-sense. If these numbers are correct most of the grid did last than 10 (!!!) laps. |

At the end of the day, I think that Conway and Filippi could help us to show the level of SuperNova more clearly this season. |

It rained halfway through the afternoon session, so others may have got close to Pantano. Explains why laps are so low and why FMSI didn't appear. No mechanical dramas apparently but several drivers had spins.
Nice to see other teams doing well - Campos, Trident, Racing Engineering and not ART and Arden for a change. Not so keen on ART livery either. |

the art livery is a definite case of ugly tree and every branch on the way down...
it's a pretty good field this year, isn't it? |

I think it is a very good - and even - field. I don't think ART have the best pairing out there either so I reckon we could be looking at a new champion.
Glock's an obvious candidate but Pantano has been quick in every car he has tested and I'm curious to see if he can take Campos to a race win. I reckon Maldonado and Villa could be the ones to watch this year too, but this is 1 test - a season is a different potato. |

Bit like Viso then - funny that... I hope he can challenge and shake it up a bit.
I really think he would have run away with World Series title but for a few problems and I believe Trident can make him a regular front runner. I'll stick to my outsider prediction. Just a shame Danielsson isn't there to challenge him. |

Bit more of a familiar ring to the entrant at the top of the times wouldn't you say?

Heh, that was much more like i expected. Not a small margin either, over half a second. I guess it shows the confidence that ART have with their set up that they didn't need to push in the earlier tests.
Well done to di Grassi for beating Ammermuller though. |

No surprise to see Di Grassi faster than Ammermüller...
Excellent times by DAMS and Minardi-Piquet cars... Arden cars still off of pace... ¿what happens with them? |
