I can't follow you. There were never more than 4 cars on track at the same time in Jerez this week. McLaren was there for 4 days http://www.forix.com...&r=20099019&c=0
And Williams was simply faster on that last day when only 2 cars practised -and faster than anybody else this week! What do you make of that?
The 2 points I'm making is the track would not have gone faster on the last 2 days when where was only 2 cars left. The prime condition of the tarmac would have been gone. People seem to be thinking the track was getting even faster on the Wednesday and Thursday, this in my experiance is not true, the opposite would occur, the track would already have peaked on Tuesday. Two days later, on Thursday the track would have been unquantifiably slower.
The 2nd point to rephrase it, is people seem keen only to compare same day times, but this is in anyway not equal if a teams sliding test window is mapped differently. You cannot compare somebody who is setting their best laps on their Day #4/4 of the test to somebody who is only on their Day #2/4 of the test, the key word being 'their'.
Yes Williams were faster than McLaren but I don't have any comment on that, just wail till Melbourne.
