Agreed, breaking curfew on Thursday night is very strange. Either that new parts came in earlier than schedule or something wrong with the car that was found out a little too late.stefan_ wrote:No punishment - it is the first time (out of four allowed) they do it this season.

I think even a neutral would like to see Alonso a bit closer to the pace.Scuderia Ferrari: FP2 work was a bit different from the usual Friday as we focused more on aero comparison on Fernando's car, sacrifying a bit the long run.
KERS problem affects Webber in practice wrote:
As fluid leaked from the underside of his Red Bull, Mark Webber lost the final ten minutes of practice at Yas Marina on Friday. Since the session has finished under lights, the issue has been diagnosed as yet another KERS problem for the Australian. “We had a KERS issue, which wasn’t the same as last week,” Webber emphasised. “It never helps to miss some running on the track during practice, but it’s not a big deal.
