...Well just talked to Colin and he said that he sort of shot himself in the foot today...They started the day on the Valencia set up and went down hill from there...He was also a little jet lagged and he said quote "I just had my head up my ass"...After a good nights sleep, he is sure they will get it tomorrow (weather permitting)and they were all on race tires today and if you remember, Colin's best time at the last test there, on a "race" tire was a 42.7 !!...He sounded confident and said that Barros only turned a couple of laps in the 42's and dumped it once, so it wasn't that easy
...BYW...You guys are on the ball, here I am waiting for Colin to call, then I check the site and there is 25 posts on the testing today...Keep up the good work...Snr
