I was wondering why teams didn't take the opportunity to test rain set-ups on the last, wet day of testing; apparently, running the Qatar circuit in the wet is so treacherous that Bridgestone didn't even bring rain tires to the test:

When it is so rare that it rains in a specific circuit, there is no gain testing in the rain.

That isn't the reason they cancelled the test at Qatar, or didn't bring wet tires. The lights glare off the wet surface so bad the track isn't safe. They can't race in the rain there.

I didn't think of that  [thumbsup]

I think we'll start hearing of tracks being Honda, Yamaha or Ducati. Apparently the issue which they will need to focus now will be stability under braking. Isn't this where the Honda had the advantage last year with their seamless gearbox? Now that Yamaha can downshift without using the clutch with their gearbox, sounds like Ducati now has to keep up.

Any idea why the Michelin test in Qatar is just a Honda & Ducati deal? I would have thought it was worth Yamaha's time at least to participate to get some baseline data, if not all of the manufacturers who will have to be on those tires next year. And I also wonder if Pirro is rolling the Michelins on a GP15 or GP14.x chassis.

I believe they mention on the article that they have a bunch more tests and that they span across multiple teams. They'll probably have a Yamaha/Suk/Ape test later.
