    I'm absolutely baffled by BBC and Sky's apparent interest in those vanes on top of the McLaren's sidepod and trying to make out they just got some breaking news to report about McLarens genius!

    I should have their job as a noticed them on the RB8 around about Bahrain yet nothing was said lol.

    Looks like McLaren are following RBR direction in airflow at least, that's probably what was in all those boxes yesterday.

    Yup I'm right, Seb has been reported to have not enjoyed the tunnel again and they have sealed it.

    Lightening quick reflexes from Schumacher, who says he's lost it.

    Well I looked at the front of the car of the RB8 and the positioning of the sidepod entrance was actually a bit too far away from the vents above that I assume are being controlled by the "tunnel". McLaren though look to be using the entrance of the sidepod for their inlet above where RBR are doing both possibly?

    Traffic was crazy out there near the end, should be interesting come qualifying as you only get 1 shot on each tyre, I can see a few penalties being handed out.

    So based on that session Alonso is six tenths behind Vettel in qualifying pace, but he had traffic right at the end and Vettel set his lap later on in the session. Not bad.

    Vettel and Marko comment:

    It was a masterful collect from a dangerous slide showing he's still got what Jordan first spotted in him, even after his break from F1.









    Karthikeyan, I mean.

    Well let's just say I won't be surprised if there's a 5th different winner this weekend, Williams, Sauber + Lotus...

    It isn't a case who is faster its who will do the least mistakes now because it's looking so tight...

    Hamilton should be disqualified. Schumacher needs all the eggsposure to tyre behaviour he can get.

    I don't think anybody has been given a reprimand for this season.

    Has Massa been replaced by Schumacher or something? Lewis vs Massa.mk 2...?
