The BMW Sauber and Kobi's times have slipped under the radar of just about everybody. It is notoriously difficult to predict where cars are realitive to each other from winter testing but last year it was obvious that the Brawn was way ahead. The times posted by Kobi today are exceptional and no other team has come close to posting times like these throughout a 20 lap stint.

BMW Sauber are going to do a Brawn GP in 2010! :D

Thanks Snowy for posting those times.

They are certainly interesting but wouldn't go as far as comparing them to Brawn from last year when they dominated all the tests.

The teams watch each other closely and we would have heard noises about the Sauber car. Having said that, I suspect that the BMW Sauber team will be stronger than expected and the reason for that is they worked on their 2010 earlier than mot of the other teams.

If you are referring by the lap by lap timing information, that isn't usually publicly available

All set for the last testing session?

I guess we'll only know if the Ferrari is ahead of the others in Bahrain. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the other teams are also holding back on thier true pace. But only time will tell.

Indeed, the final pre-season test session is underway in Barcelona. It is currently fine and dry and it is expected to remain that way for most of the 4 days.
