    Hmmm, well it could be worse for Alonso I guess, this could be fp3 (or quali, or Race!).

    At least its at a track where his closest rival may be at a car disadvantage.

    Fernando's clearly been saving up a seasons worth of bad luck for this last week.

    Luckily it looks like it's just Hydraulics, not a gearbox failure. Hopefully no 5 place drop, i need someone to beat the McLarens.

    Ferrari now have to rely on Felipe Massa for data. They're screwed.

    Looking at Ferrari's pace if Alonso does get a 5 place penalty it will put him around where I assume Vettel and Webber will qualify. Will make for a interesting battle.

    McLaren's locking up a lot, quite similar to what happened with them in Valencia

    This is probably the worst track for this to happen, he needed to put the pressure on the Red Bulls. They've had so much luck since 2010 it's unreal.

    A Lewis Vs Massa would be interesting, both looking quick in practice.

    Great chance for Felipe to finally get back on the podium this weekend.

    Caterhams look like they might be in with a chance of fighting Toro Rosso this weekend, they were only a tenth off in P1 and now Kovalainen's in front of Vergne.

    Was it the race gearbox or a spare gearbox?

    I believe if it was the gearbox that they were planning to use for the race then he is likely to get a penalty, if they can fix it by tommorow he'll be fine

    What are the actual rules of "fixing" gearboxes though? I gathered it was just cleaning it etc, other than that you can't do anything to it as it is meant to be reliable on its own merit.
