F1 - 2nd Pre Season test at Barcelona - Day 4 - Technical Image Gallery
Hello Matthew, I'd like to ask you a question. In Australia last year the pole was 1:24.922 With the restriction of the use of DRS, do you think the pole position be higher or lower? Do you dare to predict a time? Thanks

I'm not so sure the lack of unlimited DRS will hinder the teams too drastically as they will adjust their Rear Wing delta's accordingly. I'd suggest at least a seconds gain on last years pole lap based on the softer tyre compound being taken to Melbourne and the teams having more downforce in the 2013 cars.
