The Week on Twitter: 7 Feb 2010

Jake | Sunday 7th February 2010 | General Nonsense

Petrov announced at Renault, their car is yellow; Sauber revealed, it has no sponsors; also unveiled: Toro Rosso & Mercedes. Busy few days. #
And now – pretty much literally – #F1 testing gets underway at Valencia. No official live timing or BBC live text. This is RUBBISH. #
Well @Jamesallenonf1 has launched a live at Valencia Twitter feed. It's not bad, but it's no Caroline Cheese. http://is.gd/7sPgA #
Summary from Valencia #F1 test so far, as far as I can work out: some cars have been out, and come back in again. #
If Friday #F1 practice sessions mean little, then pre-season testing means even less. So: Massa, de la Rosa and Schumacher fastest today. #
Not surprised to see that Fisichella is off to the F1 retirement home – or sportscar racing as it's also known. http://is.gd/7×9Wr #
http://is.gd/7xVCx – Implausibly, even more #BTCC on ITV channels this year. Will it convince any sponsors to sign up to any teams though? #
All eyes are on Valencia for #F1 testing, but Jean Todt is making noises about getting #WRC where it should be. http://is.gd/7yn0e #
Big thanks to @ClaireVWilliams for brilliant coverage of the Valencia #F1 test. Essential stuff. Looking forward to more tomorrow! #
It's a big test day: last of #F1 in Valencia; first of #MotoGP in Sepang. Of note: Alonso & Button in new cars; Yamaha launch & Spies. #
Max Mosley on Radio 4's Today talking about privacy. John Humphrys reluctantly used the word "orgy"; Mosley called it a "party". Brilliant. #
Didn't realise that the first day of the Sepang #MotoGP test is for test riders only. What a good idea… http://is.gd/7CbM3 #
http://is.gd/7Ci7D – British Superbikes goes NASCAR, copying Chase for the Sprint Cup. This isn't going to go down well. Not well at all. #
http://is.gd/7CXAq – Ferrari emphatically fastest at first #F1 test in Valencia, then. But is it representative? We'll find out in Bahrain. #
http://is.gd/7GBLV – Rossi & Stoner 1 & 2 on #MotoGP Sepang test day 1. Who'd have guessed? Me. 3-5: Edwards, Capirossi, Lorenzo. Spies: 12. #
#BTCC has lost one of the few 'confirmed' teams: Bamboo move to WTCC with Vaulkhard, and want Turkington too. http://is.gd/7GET0 #
http://is.gd/7GGLq – Heidfeld as Mercedes reserve driver, then. Should he be pleased to be with a top team, or gutted not to be driving? #
http://is.gd/7GBLV – #MotoGP Sepang test day 3, top 5: Rossi, Stoner, Lorenzo, Pedrosa, Spies. Good job by Spies, otherwise as expected. #
BBC #F1 2010 pretty much the same as 2009. Details here, including Ted Kravitz in brown trousers & pink shirt: http://is.gd/7KSuL #
