@F1Kate: Ted Kravitz has just told the press room that the STR7 stopped 'because the car was disintegrating'. 1st red flag of 2012!

one of the problems last year is that it rained a lot. A couple of years ago, Ricciardo did 1:17.4

Game Over for Caterham:

@MikeGascoyne: Testing finished for the day unfortunately. No problem with the car but a damaged starter shaft means we cant start it.

Red flag. Kobayashi stopped.
Lotus had just started Raikkonen's engine when it happened. Now they have turned it off again

How's Kimi's doing Mar? Fast? Slow? Hard to tell from the times?

It will be remembered as the day Raikkonen said "remember me?" by beating last year's best Jerez testing time before the day had barely begun - and then stayed on top till the finish.

Well it's kind of obvious that Lotus was going to put him out on fumes so that they could grab the headline "Raikkonen fastest on day 1" :lol:
