Do teams really practice 'sandbagging' at F1 pre-season testing, and how do you spot a 'glory run'? Technical expert and former Ferrari, Williams and Jordan engineer Rob Smedley has the lowdown – and ex-Renault F1 racer Jolyon Palmer gives us the driver's view. First up, Smedley explains how the teams approach testing... There’s always a little bit of internal pressure during pre-season testing to get the car down on low fuel, put it on the softest possible tyres and post a time that looks great – the so-called ‘glory run’ – as opposed to deliberately keeping your true pace under wraps, a practice known in the paddock as ‘sandbagging’.
