Oh that picture!
DRS air inlet gives it a odd look

So the first tendancy shows that this year's hard compound is faster than last year's medium - that's what we wanted to achieve. #f1

Di Resta's fast time was done on the soft tyres.

According to AMuS Grosjean's fast time was set on hard time. Hmm

AUTOSPORT Live ‏@autosportlive
Five-lap run completed (at an average of 1m21.578s), Grosjean heads back into the Lotus garage. #F1

1:19.568
1:20.309

#F1 Bad news for Mercedes. 2nd testing day in #Jerez is over. They have to replace the brake lines. AMuS live: http://ticker.auto-motor-und-sport.de/

Grosjean again sets the fastest lap, his stint:
1:18.810
1:19.500
1:20.404
1:20.832
1:21.266
YOu know what's strange about that Grosjean picture? He wears a clear visor on a sunny day! I zoomed in on a few of my pics from Austin and noticed the same..
I thought most pilots wear tinted visors to block the sun? I guess his eyes can handle it..

But does he have the passive DRS bolted to the car?
I think Kimi might give it a shot during day #3 or 4 " title="wink" />

Grosjean just goes out after lunch and immediately smashes his previous best lap, with the soft tyres.
1:18.218

They are properly waiting for Kimi do all of the proper testing like long runs, and testing with the DRS, while Grosjean seemingly continues to rack up fast laps.

No DDRS in this picture.
That air inlet looks so bulky. Can't be aerodynamic friendly? CAn it?
The timing sheets says otherwise.

E21 laps looking good

Grosjean stint where he did the fast lap:
1:18.218
1:29.857
1:19.393
1:21.322
Thanks Boudica for the updates! " title="ty" />
No wonder Kimi says he (Gro) is fast. " title="blink" />
Let's hope Kimi has a good day in office on Thursday & Friday. " title="pray" />
