@autosport reporting
Ferrari says Massa is concentrating on long runs at the moment. That would explain why he's in the 31s and 32s right now.

Lewis really banging out an impressive number of laps after that 1:24.348, he's done 8 so far.

4 lap run for Webber with a 1:22.693 at the beginning.


W04 looks like a very good car to have today. Mclaren looked quickest in the wet. Red Bull quickest overall

The race simulation today should give a good amount of data to Merc. 113 laps... nice and consistent.

Lotus 12 seconds off the pace. Seems that the ban of the exhaust mapping really hit them hard :wink:.

Nah, but something that impressed me was the rake of the Mercedes. Look a bit like the Red Bull rake and only those two with that kind of rake. Could be wrong though.

Very little track time for Force India today, I noticed from my photos that there was a burnt patch appearing on the bodywork so they have something to spend the night thinking about.

Driving wise it looked like Felipe Massa was really pushing all day, Lewis seemed to be within his limits. Red Bull looked very good in the dry in the final 90 minutes.

Some free pictures for you all:

If someone said to me that you can have three wishes, my first would have been to get into racing, my second to be in Formula 1, my third to drive for Ferrari.

Slightly damp at the moment, wouldn't think they need wets really. There is a big cloud hovering above though...
