Last Saturday I went to Montmeló to attend the last F1 tests before the start of the championship. It was really spectacular, the engine sound was completely different from the one you can hear in the television. The sound was very loud so sometimes you had to cover your ears because it was really painful. My father, my brother and I spent the whole day there and we could see the new cars and the new teams that there will be this year: Lotus, Virgin and Mercedes-Petronas (which was Brawn GP last year). Of course we saw the new Ferrari driven by Massa and also we saw last year champion: Jenson Button who this year is driving for McLaren. These are the times of the session:
1 | N. Rosberg | Mercedes | 1:20:686 | 128 | |
2 | S. Buemi | Toro Rosso | 1:21:413 | +0.727s | 106 |
3 | J. Button | McLaren | 1:21:450 | +0.764s | 105 |
4 | R. Barrichello | Williams | 1:21:975 | +1.289s | 101 |
5 | F. Massa | Ferrari | 1:22:344 | +1.658s | 115 |
6 | V. Petrov | Renault | 1:22:523 | +1.837s | 68 |
7 | A.Sutil | Force India | 1:22:606 | +1.920s | 61 |
8 | S. Vettel | Red Bull | 1:23:123 | +2.437s | 51 |
9 | J. Trulli | Lotus | 1:25:059 | +4.373s | 102 |
10 | K. Kobayashi | Sauber | 1:26:216 | +5.530s | 105 |
11 | T. Glock | Virgin | 1:26:216 | +5.619s | 31 |
We also tried a F1 simulator which was really realistic because the seat had some hydraulic-suspensions and when you brake, it pushed you forward and when you accelerate it made the inverse. Also if you go out of the limits of the circuit it shook you a lot. Really it was quite good but a bit hard to drive.
