Barcelona Day 3 "The money bag is on the move"

Yes i know i slammed money bags (Pastor maldanado) in my last post and i know that he set the fastest lap in the 3rd day of testing but i stand by my previous words, in other news Mark Webber appears to have fallen asleep at the wheel and set an embarrasing lap time that was roughly 2 seconds slower than Maldanado. full unofficial laptimes below

It would appear the Red Bulls this year are not just going to walk away with it. The previous two years the Red Bulls chassis has been so quick that even Mark Webber has managed to top some time sheets and keep up in the top half of the grid,(No offence to Mark but the only thing slower than his driving is the answers he gives to press conferences) and i know its early days but i think the other teams have closed the gap.....

I might be wrong but i surely hope im not, it seemed last year that the only time anyone had a chance was when the red bull was feeling poorly. But i really hope we can see some close wheel to wheel action this season, it is a beautiful sport but over the years its become rather dull to watch and whilst i wont stop watching it i fear it may lose interest from other people.

And whilst i like the new safety of the sport i think its becoming rather annoying, the removal of double diffusers, blown diffusers, the F duct (DRS) and spinners (and more) was unnecessary and drive through penalties are bieng handed out like skittles. ill give you an example of what i mean, the tire wall and the new-ish Tensabarriers are great ideas, the new platapus nose, pointless.

Another Example the new helmets and visors, brilliant idea, Introducing DRS (does the same job as F-Duct) just so the FIA can have full control, silly idea, I hope you understand what i am trying to say but to summarise for the hard of thinking, i am all for safety but occasionally the FIA release new regulations just so the can claim there doing something.
