So they can't test the F1 cars but they can test the KARTS lol perhaps they should make them so they can test out parts in miniature.

Oh look who came top. Maybe he'll apply for a green card and come back with USF1 or whatever they're called.

If ever there was a reason to bring back in season testing, Massa's accident caused no doubt by the Brawn suspension failure is a good enough reason.

Massa has to be thankful simply to be alive. Losing control of an F1 car is dangerous enough at the best of times, but to be unconscious at the same time is just ludicrous.

I don't think Massa's accident had anything to do with a lack of testing.

There is something to be said for allowing in-season testing, but what I would do is keep the test ban as it stands, but make the whole of Friday one big test session where teams can run three cars, so that rookies get a chance to get to grips with the car. That setup could cause a problem with timetabling some of the support races but from a purely F1 perspective I think it would work, saving on the costs of teams travelling to separate test days.
