Inside testing: Daily Jerez blog

Jerez test: Sunday
When you're on the ground at a Formula 1 test, the most common question you receive - from friends, colleagues, and fans - is "what can you tell about the competitive order?"
There are so many variables in F1 these days that can skew performance to a huge degree. Last year, the return of fuel tanks capable of doing a full race distance made the 2010 pre-season much harder to judge than its predecessors. This year, we have four tyre compounds from Pirelli that are more spread out performance-wise than we ever had from Bridgestone.
