Just did. I was out of town on business Thursday and Friday, and it took me some time to get caught up on posts and PM's. You should have a reply in your inbox shortly.

The 1st F1 race of the season in Bahrain is in 39 days, 8 hours, 32 minutes, and 45 seconds as I type this.

Great question. Avg. temps in Bahrain in mid-march are in the mid-high 70's, so I don't think that temp related failures will be any kind of issue. My vote would be around 16-18 will finish.....assuming all 24 potentional drivers/cars are ready to race.

Can't wait for it to start. Schuey is already tormenting his team mate, and Hamilton and Button want a piece of him!

Bring it!

Thats what I was gonna say... assuming all the teams make the grid, I say between 15-17 will finish the race.

Initial testing at Valencia

As of an hour ago and FWIW, Massa has the fastest lap with McLaren, Sauber close behind; Rosberg is not doing well in the Brawn at least at this point in time.
Apparently F10 is not as bad as others, including Ferrari, initially thought. Also, if De La Rosa is doing this good, look out for Kobay!

Later, Ken

Was part of the court ruling after Stepneygate that the Ferrari team gets access to McLaren's cars? Kidding. We know what you meant. Thanks for the update!
