He beat Petrov in the Abu Dhabi practice session and today he's beaten Senna. Hulk has been solid all year in practice aside from a couple of mistakes, which happens to the best of drivers. I wonder if Razia getting to drive but not Chandhok has any significance to Chandhok's future with the team. If I were in Chandhok's position, I wouldn't have been so understanding about being robbed of the opportunity to drive at an inaugural home race, especially as Trulli ended up getting beaten by the HRT's in that race.

I do not know about Abu Dhabi but today Grosjean was running a different front wing to Senna, and Senna was testing different suspension parts for next year; so their times are pretty incomparable.
As much as I would like to believe that, we can't read too much into anything, who would have predicted Hiedfeld getting the boot like that
I know free practice means nothing but McLaren are doing better and Ferrari are doing worse than I was expecting
Are Mclaren and Mercedes playing with different setups internally? Rosberg and Button look a big sluggish.
