From what I've read of today's test(read reports of today's session on ar1.com, speedtv.com, motorsport.com, etc.), here's a brief overview of what happened..........nexstarneil wrote:Please can you give an indication of the testing schedule today at Silverstone i.e when did it start/stop/finish etc?mlittle wrote:Day 1 of 3-Day Sliverstone Test; Ferrari setting the pace...........all 10 F1 teams took to the track Tuesday for the first of a three-day test prior to the British Grand Prix at Silverstone; Felipe Massa set the fastest time of the session, closely followed by McLaren's Heikki Kovalainen.

~~Scuderia Ferrari: worked on aero and mechanical setups for this weekend's British GP; something prevented them from completing their work for the day(unfortunately, I couldn't find out what it was specifically.....
![Embarassed :oops:](./images/smilies/icon_redface.gif)
~~McLaren-Mercedes: similar to Ferrari[worked on the usual suspects of aero/mech. items]
~~BMW-Sauber: same as the first two teams
note.....both McLaren and BMW were able to complete their scheduled activities for the day
~~no problems were reported from Red Bull and Williams; in fact, according to the motorsport.com article(link will be listed at the bottom of the post), Red Bull completed their scheduled activities in time to allow Webber to run more laps than originally planned for
~~Honda worked on what Ross Brawn called a "new aero package" in today's session[.....note to Mr. Brawn's; your team's car's still a pig to drive at the moment; just start working on a 2009 car ASAP......
![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
~~Force India worked on what the team's chief technical officer, Mike Gascoyne, called a "major aero update" which included front wing, diffuser and bodywork items. The team also worked on new fule systems and various race setups.
~~Toro Rosso didn't even it through the morning as their STR3, quoting the motorsport.com article, "conked" out(mechanical problems by all accounts).......

![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
~~I didn't see anything written on what Toyota was doing; my assumption, nexstar, is that they were working on various race setups and whatnot prior to the British GP
As for the drivers............if the teams do what they normally do during a typical 3-day test mid-season, expect both drivers for each team to run at least one day.......here's the motorsport.com link
Hope this helps......
