giancarlo_minardi.jpg'Formula 1 has turned on the engines and open dancing. With the first two test sessions on the tracks Spanish in Jerez and Barcelona the teams have begun the long process of weaning of new creatures and just as we write, on the Montmelo track is staged on the third and final act, before you go to Australia .

Along with Gian Carlo Minardi we tried to analyze the first releases to better understand what we might expect from the new world “of Montmelò This is certainly the most important session, which should allow us to capture some more information on 2012, although signals that arrive still indicate a Red Bull ahead of Ferrari, McLaren and Mercedes. A veil of uncertainty surrounding the Lotus (formerly Renault) had to skip the penultimate session.
Ferrari are working on different solutions that, if you can guess, could be the step in more to take the lead. It ‘clear that only in Melbourne we could see the true potential of the team that, on the occasion of the inaugural GP, show all the trump cards, “ examines the manager Faenza.
“According to what you can interpret, excluding the last three teams recruited to make up the numbers, I expect a compaction performance to the other, or the second rows are closer to the first with very interesting outsider. Force India, Toro Rosso, Williams and Sauber have made ​​a good step forward. In some races might be surprised at the level of points. Precisely this scenario may create serious problems for the last class. Whereas Marussia must still pass the crash tests (so will arrive in Australia without even one day of testing with the new car) and that HRT has just had the approval, the fight against the 107% becomes even more difficult. These realities must also add us Catheram.
In terms of strategy will need to see what happens, if approved as I believe, with the speed limit in pit lane, which should rise from 100 km / h to 60 km / h. However, this aspect is also related to the behavior of the tires: if there is a strong decay in performance as last season passing slower in the pit lane will not affect the strategy, ends Gian Carlo Minardi
