    Not bad of a run for Nico, looked bad at the start but was holding in the 28s-29s barrier pretty well until then very end.

    What is obvious though from these tests we have had so far. Caterham and Marrusia are very very slow. The Gap Remains

    Hmmm looks like the Merc is about a second a lap off the Ferrari's on race pace as Alonso was just stuck in the 27's then 28's

    Very interesting Rosberg now fastest but on the hards. What kind of tyres are these where the seems to be barely a difference between compounds?

    Rosberg top <ok>

    Still looking like the hard is the better tyre to use even here. Seems they can make the Hard tyre work most of the time but the medium barely.

    Only problem with Seb V Ros is that Seb is able to continue with decent"ish" times with the softer medium after that qualifying run. Where Rosberg needed to cool his tyres down considerably and not have as decent of laps after that fast lap.

    Just found it was a 23.9, thought something was up when I looked at the ticker beforehand, thought it was a glitched when half of known twitter say (22)

    I think Vettel is not going to let anybody sit ahead of him at the moment.

    The tyre wear on the RB9 is pretty good IMO.

    Tyre wear looks awful - for everyone, and on every compound.

    I hope this isn't a sign of things to come, especially with Pirelli bringing supersofts to Melbourne.
