Fresh F1

The comments are in Italian. The images from Malaysia were shot on the 3rd day of testing. Here is the translation:

Reporter in the studio: “Formula One, coming towards the second race of the World Championship [on] the 8th of April, The GP of Malaysia. There are test days meanwhile on the Sepang track.”

“McLaren displayed 4 [rear view] strengthened mirrors, not because Lewis Hamilton the new colored Formula 1 star needed a better view. This way, however, he would soon notice the smoke that signaled the failure of the Mercedes engine that the engineers are pushing to [find] the limit.”

“The reference time is however Hamilton’s whose performance was the best of the day”

Ettore Giovanelli: “Felipe Massa was at the steering-wheel for Ferrari today. For him, like for Raikkonen in the previous days lots of experiments on the setup and with the tyres for the forthcoming Grand Prix. For him lots of stints totalling 56 laps and long breaks on the pit wall.”

“Massa was only fifth on the timing sheets a second adrift from Hamilton. The Brazilian was a lot slower than Raikkonen also because the track conditions weren’t the same and because of a thunderstorm in the afternoon.”

“A lot of work for the Renault mechanics, busy for hours in the morning with a car that is hard to setup in order to show a decent pace”
