1 - MERCEDES
The team that has dominated the length and breadth of last season also appeared in these pre-season testing at a level unattainable for all other teams . The new car is a very good evolution of the award-winning W05 Hybrid of 2014; from the technical point of view on the Hybrid Mercedes W06 were seen:
new rear wing (version "download" to that seen in Jerez, which was then the version 2014);
"Monopilone" central to the rear;
new monkey seat size more "generous" than the version 2014 (later used by way of fixing problems on version 2015);
small change to ' rear wing endplate ;
small change to the speaker ;
little changed to profiles on the sides of the passenger ;
new media of dummy cameras , playing in an extreme the new directives of the FIA.
additional air intake for the front brakes ;
modified the terminal part of the engine bonnet
The W06 in Barcelona that I was seriously impressed , especially in the area of the "stage." A "La Caixa", the curve 10 of the Montmelo circuit, the Mercedes entered at double speed compared to all the other cars. In the first step that I saw, I thought a likely "long" Rosberg (at that time at the helm) and instead the trajectory in distance and output curve remained similar to other cars passed later. The W06 Hybrid is a car with a lot of traction (output from La Caixa was evident), so much downforce (evident lurking at Turn 7) and a Power Unit / electronic amazing (delivery very positive). But the run performed in Barcelona there are only positive news, because the technicians of the German team noted an "abnormal" tire degradation and a problem in bringing the car to the limit , which does not happen, for example, the brand new Ferrari.

The best time of the Mercedes duo was one signed by Nico Rosberg in sixth day of practice at that Montmelo, which thanks to tires SOFT managed to dip under the 1:23

BEST LAP - MERCEDES (Rosberg - SOFT): 1.22.792

The round of Nico was "almost" perfect if you conderano the best times in the various sectors of the two pilots of the German team (see the final image for the best times in the various sectors):

IDEAL LAP - MERCEDES: 1.22.689

As for the race pace , the Mercedes in eight days of Montmelo has not made ​​clear many simulations and analyzed, except on one occasion with Lewis Hamilton, using only three runs in the compound HARD (new in the first and third stint, used in the second stint). Here the average pace and the race time (considered on 64 laps and not 65, because the first lap from a standing start).

STEP RACE (HARD-HARD-HARD) - MERCEDES (HAMILTON): 1.29.630
COMPETITION TIME (to complete 64 laps) - MERCEDES: 1 h 35 min 36 seconds

Mercedes has decided to start the season with fewer chips than expected (even with respect to the specific engine "tested" in Barcelona), especially by making changes to the part of "combustion". The increase in power on the German Power Unit will be around 40 hp.

2 - FERRARI
Ferrari has arrived at that of Montmelo with few certainties and many unknowns . The four days of testing at Jerez had fulfilled Raikkonen and Vettel, engineers, and well Arrivabene & Company. But the question that is often made ​​in Maranello that was this: "In that position we will be when the others are going to push as hard as us?". In Barcelona there were answers, also important.

Starting from the technical point of view, the Ferrari in Barcelona has brought very little (in Melbourne we will see something else again):
new media of dummy cameras ;
small change to the hood with an opening in the area of the "fin";
modification to the diffuser with the insertion of a curl in the outer zone ;
new front wing (changed the main profile, the upper flap and the endplate).
The SF15-T has seemed a well balanced car , to a fairly high level in the medium-fast and fast corners , especially in the phases of the input and distance (but not as Mercedes). What the engineers of the Italian team will still have to improve, and much, is the exit from the slow corners, and then traction, as well as the ' provision of the new Power Unit 2015, the 059/4 (leaving the curved lenses have felt strange "empty"). Already in Barcelona you should see the new pieces on the rear suspension, then do not come, just to try to improve his chronic illness of the F14-T, traction, albeit not so important problem of the new car in 2015.

To confirm my impression (but also that of Christian and Paul), namely that the SF15-T it still faces problems in traction, we see how the Mercedes and Williams have gone "stronger" in the last sector.

SECTOR 3 - BEST MERCEDES: 28.737 seconds
SECTOR 3 - BEST WILLIAMS: 28.901 seconds
SECTOR 3 - BEST FERRARI: 29.045 seconds (+0308 seconds from MER, +0.144 seconds from WIL)

Positive note for Ferrari even tire wear: the SF15-T seems to be one of the cars that can better manage pneumatici.Cosa which could be better Ferrari in the race than in qualifying where hp compared to Mercedes is likely will make the difference. Importantly, the Italian team in Melbourne will bring the same specification of Power Unit of Barcelona. No weakening, or conservative choice.

Interesting to see that the leadership of the SF15-T there is an "other" Raikkonen compared to what we saw in 2014. Appostandoci for an hour on the "tires" from the curve 5, was insanely nice to see the trajectory that took advantage of Kimi than all other drivers. A narrow entrance, almost "too" direct, but profitable considering the next good mileage.

Now we compare the best lap performed by a Ferrari driver, in this case Raikkonen (on tires Super Soft), with the best lap possible putting together the best three sectors.

BEST LAP - FERRARI (Raikkonen - SUPERSOFT): 1.23.276
IDEAL LAP - FERRARI: 1.23.246 (+0.557 seconds from Mercedes)

Kimi seems to have pulled off the most from SF15-T in the only qualifying simulation performed. There definitely should be pointed out that the technicians of the Italian team have decided to not to discover too, especially in qualifying simulation embarking more fuel than necessary.

As for the race pace, Ferrari has decided to make the classic two pit stops with both drivers, but by varying the strategy. With Raikkonen, there has been a departure with Medium (used), then move on to the Hard ( used ) in the middle phase of the race (which did not work very well, unfortunately) and then conclude with the experimental medium, better in fact than the consumer compund "classic." Vettel instead has completed all 65 laps of the race simulation with compound average (always used), switching to the "experimental" version as Raikkonen in the last stage of the race. The calculations lead to this pace for the two Ferrari drivers:

STEP RACE (MEDIUM-HARD MEDIUM-SP) - FERRARI (KIMI): 1.29.844
COMPETITION TIME (to complete 64 laps): 1 h 35 min 50 seconds (14 seconds from Mercedes)

STEP RACE (MEDIUM-MEDIUM MEDIUM-SP) - FERRARI (Vettel): 1.30.044
COMPETITION TIME (to complete 64 laps): 1 h 36 min 03 seconds (27 seconds from Mercedes)

Thanks to the changes made ​​to the Power Unit 2015, the 059/4, Ferrari may have a year of 60In hp more than the version of PU last year, but mostly it was done a lot of work on the electrical and recovery energy dall'MGU-H. Although the PU 2015 Ferrari consumes even slightly "too much" of what was expected (and PU Mercedes), the step taken by the two pilots has been very steady, a sign of a good use of the electrical part. The year will be included major improvements (tokens used for now are "few", I can not go over), now in testing on the test stand in Maranello. Do not exclude that in Ferrari in a few weeks can pass on to their PU layout already used last year by Mercedes, considering the fact that Ferrari already part in this in 2015 with a Power Unit "split": compressor and turbine are separated, even though not in a way so clear as the Power Unit German .

At the beginning of the season I put, as evident in the "grid" of the league in 2015, the Ferrari in third place at about 7-8 tenths from Mercedes.

3 - WILLIAMS
It 'clear that the team's Grove has been partially hidden, as well as Mercedes and RedBull. The FW37 is a car not far from the concepts already developed in 2014 on the FW36. The technical team of the British wanted to concentrate on not to overturn a car already winning in qualifying last season, and in trying to fix the problems of traction (thanks to a new rear suspension) and downforce of 2014 FW36.

From the technical point of view, after four days of Jerez, where we had seen a FW37 very similar to that appeared in the British magazine F1 Racing, the British team has brought this news:
"Monopilone" central to the rear;
new flow diverters side, now become a "bridge";
small change in the final part of the bonnet;
small modification also deflectors on the sides of the splitter;
modifications to the front
The FW37 seems to have maintained that excellent speed characteristic that has characterized the past year, combining better traction thanks to a modified version of the rear suspension. The Grove team was the first to show us one of the best versions (along with that Mercedes) from snout to the interpretation of the new Technical Regulations 2015. It is to emphasize the great work done by the technicians Williams, as were the first to pass the crash test with that type of nose, not just stuff! Just as Mercedes, the FW37 has impressed me in the insertion of the curve "La Caixa" . This is also confirmed by the numbers: as written previously in the section dedicated to Ferrari, the last stretch of the Barcelona circuit the FW37 has defended very well against a car stratospheric which is the W06, but most managed to do better than the Ferrari (RedBull unfortunately has "little" in this analysis, since the fuel load and the tires Soft).

Now we compare the best lap performed by a Williams driver, in this case Bottas (on tires Super Soft), with the best lap possible putting together the best three sectors.

BEST LAP - WILLIAMS (Bottas - SUPERSOFT): 1.23.063
IDEAL LAP - WILLIAMS: 1.23.016 (+0.327 seconds from Mercedes)

Just as in Ferrari, also the Finnish home Williams seems to have got the most out of the FW37 last qualifying simulation performed, the last day of the Test. There is definitely to underline the fact that the technicians of the English team have thought not to discover too, especially in qualifying simulation (but also in the race simulation), embarking more fuel than necessary and not squeezing thoroughly Power Unit Mercedes (no button "magic" for them).

As for the race pace , Williams did not complete a real race simulation except by Wolff in the early days of testing in the Catalan city. I took three stints Bottas that resemble a race simulation "thinly disguised". The fact is that the English team has decided to stay on a classic strategy with two pit stops. Bottas has used a strategy similar to that chosen by Mercedes, which were only used hard tires. Our calculations lead to this pace for Williams Bottas:

STEP RACE (HARD-HARD-HARD) - WILLIAMS (Bottas): 1.30.083

COMPETITION TIME (to complete 64 laps): 1 h 36 min 05 seconds (29 seconds from Mercedes)

My idea is that Williams will be hidden and there did see its true potential. I would put the FW37 in second place at about 5-6 tenths from Mercedes and ahead of about 2/10 to Ferrari.

4 - TORO ROSSO
For Toro Rosso, Lotus, Force India and Sauber, analysis focused only on race pace and not on the lap not to prolong the release of this article.

The team of Faenza, born from the ashes of Minardi, was the big surprise of these tests. In the Catalan city has fallen from a truck version B of the car presented at that Jerez. Numerous "technical" amendments, I go here to list:
new face, a middle ground between the "short" version of the Williams and that of RedBull;
different position of dummy cameras, now more "conventional";
new front wing, very similar to that of the mother RedBull;
new rear wing, completely redesigned;
new monkey seat three profiles;
new diffuser completely revised;
new bonnet, no vents "secondary" external and hot air vents smaller.
The Toro Rosso STR10 seems the best car ever built by the Italian team. This season 2015, there will be two young men at the helm; especially one, Verstappen, will make us see beautiful things. In Barcelona, ​​the Dutch driver has already shown to all those in charge at the stable, with a teammate, always art son of surname Sainz, for now "speechless" (the only gasp in qualifying simulation, a simple "event") and that he could not even respond to the sound of fast laps (but only with bad "laments," I'll stop here!).

The problem of the Italian team called Renault , and the situation is similar if not worse than that which is living RedBull. A lack become "chronic" CV (for now only 30 hp more than the Power Unit 2014) which unfortunately fails to shine the excellent aerodynamics this year on the STR10.

As for the race pace, Toro Rosso completed the simulation faster with Verstappen using a two-stop strategy. The Dutchman has carried out the first two stints with medium tires (used), then move to the harsh (new) in the last part of the race.

Our calculations lead to this pace for Toro Rosso Verstappen:

STEP RACE (MEDIUM-MEDIUM-HARD) - TORO ROSSO (VERSTAPPEN): 1.30.211

COMPETITION TIME (to complete 64 laps): 1 h 36 min 13 seconds (37 seconds from Mercedes)

I place the Faenza-based team to fifth place overall behind Mercedes, Williams, Ferrari and Red Bull, but in front of his "real" ie rivals Lotus and Force India.



5 - REDBULL
Newey & Co are the real big unknown of this first part of the season. The RB11 did not show the full potential, but rather appeared to experts as a coach in difficulty, with engine problems in the first place (similar argument to the one made ​​just above the Toro Rosso) and strangely problems downforce (numerous tests aerodynamic, never seen in the past years on the car designed by the genius Newey).

As for the "technique" that we love so much, unfortunately due to the failure of the crash test for the new nose, have not seen big news (that we will most likely see in Melbourne). The only view on the track, the beautiful solution designed for the rear wing endplate with a large vertical slot, useful to "stall" the endplate itself in certain situations to reduce drag .

Importantly Ricciardo is doing a big job, even with a means for now not up. Among other items inside the paddock, they want Newey & Co disappointed by his teammate, the Russian driver Kvyat, so as to suggest to an already Verstappen in RedBull in 2016 (although the idea would be to keep it in Toro Rosso until 2016 inclusive, to avoid burning). The RedBull, as well as the Mercedes for the Barcelona test has "ordered" to the Pirelli super soft compound tires, as it was deemed not suitable for that type of track by technicians of the Austrian team (what actually true, as pointed out in days after the test also by Pirelli).

Now we turn to a few numbers and compare the best lap performed by a pilot RedBull, Ricciardo (on tires Soft), with the best lap possible putting together the best three sectors.

BEST LAP - REDBULL (Ricciardo - SOFT): 1.24.638
IDEAL LAP - REDBULL: 1.24.638 (+1.949 seconds from Mercedes)

The pilot Italo-Australian home RedBull managed to bring out the best from his RB11. There definitely should be pointed out that the technicians of the Austrian team have decided to not to discover too, especially in qualifying simulation, embarking more fuel than necessary and not using softer tires that potevan give further 7-8 tenths bringing so the time to a high 1:23.

The RedBull focused perhaps most of all on race simulations stint performing many "long" with medium and hard tires . In the simulation more profitable, always traveled by Ricciardo (although in a Kvyat has remained very close though with different compound tires), the RedBull exploited strangely a three-stop strategy, as if there were problems with tire wear. The Australian has used in his race simulation, only medium compound tires used in all 4 stint.

Our calculations lead to this pace for the RedBull Ricciardo:

STEP RACE (MEDIUM-MEDIUM-MEDIUM-MEDIUM) - REDBULL (RICCIARDO): 1.30.388
COMPETITION TIME (to complete 64 laps): 1 h 36 min 25 seconds (49 seconds from Mercedes)

In my RedBull, although in view of difficulties, from fourth place overall in terms of the ranking of teams at the start of the league in 2015, about 1 second from Mercedes. The problems of chivalry and consumption, however, will soon be settled by Renault, otherwise Ricciardo & Co will risk making a poor season with an opponent more to fight for the podium, Ferrari. I see a RedBull Mass worse than last year, knowing that in Jerez and Barcelona the "hide and seek" was the best game made by Austrian men.

6 - SAUBER
Our calculations lead to this pace for Sauber Nasr:

STEP RACE (MEDIUM-MEDIUM-HARD) - SAUBER (NASR): 1.31.307
COMPETITION TIME (to complete 64 laps): 1 h 37 min 24 seconds (1 minute and 47 seconds from Mercedes)

Sauber seemed pretty on the ball to Barcelona, ​​although there were rumors in the paddock rather "strange", and I do not go over. I think the improvement, thanks to the new Power Unit Ferrari is obvious, but the result in Barcelona was affected by the fact that the Swiss team is looking for some sponsors to back the specter of bankruptcy . Hope I am wrong!

7 - FORCE INDIA
Our calculations lead to this pace for Force India Hulkenberg:

STEP RACE (MEDIUM-MEDIUM-MEDIUM) - FORCE INDIA (Hulkenberg): 1.31.601
COMPETITION TIME (to complete 64 laps): 1 h 37 min 42 seconds (2 minutes and 06 seconds from Mercedes)

A Force India that surprised, not so much for the lap times but for reliability shown, that was the real target of the Indian team in the past days in the Catalan city. Obviously they know too that there is still a lot of work to do; lost work, because of the huge economic problems that are afflicting even this team, it was important. Within the British Grand Prix technicians Force India will bring a B version of the car that will include a new nose (in "short" ) and a suspension innovative hydro-mechanical which could debut already in Spain.

8 - LOTUS
Our calculations lead to this pace for Lotus Maldonado:

STEP RACE (HARD-MEDIUM-MEDIUM-MEDIUM) - LOTUS (MALDONADO): 1.31.730
COMPETITION TIME (to complete 64 laps): 1 h 37 min 51 seconds (2 minutes and 14 seconds from Mercedes)

The big disappointment for me, these pre-season testing in 2015 is the Lotus. Despite having lost a couple of days in that of Jerez, I would never have expected a race pace so slow in Barcelona by a car that I thought could immediately impress, thanks to the brand new Power Unit Mercedes. According to the engineers of the British team updates brought in the Catalan city have not fully functioned. Among the GP of China and that of Spain it will be brought more to make that step forward necessary to counter the Italian Toro Rosso, the real rival for the first part of 2015 season.

9 - MCLAREN
Now we come to the more stable "chat" of pre-season testing in 2015, the McLaren.

The MP4-30 is a good car, which keeps the aerodynamic really interesting and unconventional (the problem may be even in these choices). But the real big problem of the new Mclaren is on the Power Unit Honda has continued, in all 12 days of testing, to create problems of problems, even bringing Alonso in hospital.

incident in question F1ANALISITECNICA of us have already expressed In our opinion, in THIS article, so I will avoid to dwell further.

In the few laps from Button (in comparison to the other teams, the luckiest day touched the 100 laps anyway) we saw a car on the track with a lot of downforce and above much traction ; so, as not to deface the MP4-30, often on track with energy recovery "castrated", the last sector, the most driven. Scrolling through the various run made ​​by the British team are unable, however, to get a real " reliable "race pace that would show us the real position of McLaren in this season. But I think for Alonso & Co is not actually this is the biggest problem, because considering about three months late Honda, they know to expect a McLaren truly competitive only around June-July this year .

Ah, if you want my opinion about the layout of the Power Unit Japanese, consider this split in "Mercedes style" with separate compressor and turbine.

Prvo mišljenje Scrabsa je da Williams pronašao rupu u pravilima. Ako jeste, ovo je OGROMNO.
https://twitter.com/ScarbsF1/status/613335684481478656

Iako ne navijam za Williams, nadam se da će im ovo uvelike pomoći jer volim kad netko u ovo doba užasno sterilnih pravila ipak nađe rupu u pravilniku (iako će je FIA čim prije htjeti"zatrpati")

Izgleda da je ipak ilegalno...
A i da je legalno, do sutra necečer svi bi imali isto na bolidima.
https://twitter.com/hlawiczka/status/613357087830224896

Ma ilegalno je.. navodno Williams testira puno opterećenje na stražnjoj osovini. Ovo je najjednostavnije rješenje za to.

Na stazi trenutno imamo malu borbu između dva rookija.. jedan je u Ferrariju (Fuoco) drugi u ForceIndiji (Ocon).
Trenutno Ocon vodi na SS-u, dok je na žutima Fuoco sporiji za +0.139

btw.. danas je Ferrari sa tim rookijem napravo najviše krugova na stazi.

Jel Force India vozi sa novim ili starim bolidom?

Neke izmjene što se prednjeg dijela tiče-- novi nos i prednje krilo koje podsjeća na RedBulovo:

Izgleda da je tačno ono što je hat spominjao za osovinu. Vjerovatno su radili testiranja oko zagrijavnja guma, vidjeli smo u zadnji nekoliko utrka da gume jako teško dolaze do optimalne radne temperature, i često se računaju tek drugi i treći brzi krug...
Prošle godine su isto tako odradili sjajan posao na tome polju, puno brže od drugih. Pa dok se Lewis izvrtao na hladnim gumama, Williams je s malo goriva u prvom brzom krugu postavljao pole vremena.
