F1 testing Day 1 in Bahrain

[JoeDirt]

Pretty boring first day so far. Sebastian Vettel's Redbull stopped on the track in the first 10 minutes.

The hole that they cut out last time in Jerez is still there on the sidepod to help with cooling.

Newey has tried to fix the cooling issue the issues by having the wider gap between the  exhaust and the hood.

Lotus has finally debuted their car.

Kamui posted a short little clip on his instagram of the car's going out of the pits. Look at that Ferrari smoke (probably overfilled with oil).
