Ferrari Stays on Top in Valencia
By Brad Spurgeon

On the third and final day of the first test session of the season, the Ferrari again set the fastest lap, this time with Fernando Alonso driving. In fact, Alonso set the fastest lap of the week. And in doing so, he led not only a cohort of a total of three Spanish drivers \ Jaime Alguersuari at Toro Rosso and Pedro de la Rosa at BMW Sauber Ferrari \ through an exciting test session, but he and they led the entertainment for the close to 40,000 Spanish fans who showed up to watch the test.

Once again, the BMW Sauber Ferrari showed how strong a car BMW made before pulling out of the series - like Honda last year. But for the moment, the real comparison between last yearfs tests and this yearfs, seems to be that where the Brawn was clearly strong last winter, the Ferrari is the strong one now. But for how long? Schumacher will, no doubt, help to develop that Mercedes. And it was only the first test.

1. Alonso Ferrari 1:11.470 127
2. de la Rosa BMW Sauber-Ferrari 1:12.094 80
3. M.Schumacher Mercedes GP (1:12.438 82
4. Alguersuari Toro Rosso-Ferrari 1:12.576 97
5. Button McLaren-Mercedes 1:12.951 82
6. Petrov Renault 1:13.097 75
7. Hulkenberg Williams-Cosworth 1:13.669 126

Finally, herefs a funny thought: Pedro de la Rosa took the BMW Sauber Ferrari (thatfs a strange name) to second fastest time of the day. Sauber has just lost its BMW car manufacturer owner the way Honda orphaned Brawn last year. Brawn then won the titles. Could Sauber be on the same track!? Love it.

Groan. :sweat:

I was driving around today and I snapped this somewhat obscured shot of an authentic Austin Mini with right hand drive, no less. The red car. You can see the driver on the right.
