The FIA gave the teams the choice between Silverstone & Yas Marina. Bouiller was crying about cancellation.I thought this test had been cancelled.

Is this a new livery for HRT? I don't notice them during races;)
Funnily enough I was thinking the same when I was at Silverstone. They appear to be invisible when I've been watching on TV.

I'm surprised how many logos are visible on HRT.

They seem to have found some sponsors finally!
PS: guys have any of you found a live timing / commentary for this test?

No, his fastest time was 1m31.436s.Did Bottas really do a 29.1? That would be the fastest lap ever around that layout.

HRT won't attend tomorrow as Ma has gone over his limit needed to get his super license.

What limit? The only limit is the teams 15,000km, and there is no way HRT have hit that.

I think he means that Ma Qing Hua has reached the minimum distance needed to qualify for a super-license, so now HRT have no interest in giving him any extra mileage.

Most of them (other than Olympus) are big companies from China. Therefore I suppose those logo will appear only when Ma is driving.

I expect the see Ma in the car either later this year or next year.
Ma could very well get a Bottas kind of deal where he drives in nearly all FP1's for a 2014 full time drive?

Reading the news looks like Merc will do exactly that in France this week... FI will be there as well, but are there any other teams confirmed?

Did the teams use Silverstone tests for car development?
