    Agreed looks like he getting more used to the car now.

    Only problem though is that he is starting to sound like Rosberg with his answers which makes me wonder did somebody have a word with him after his dislike of the car last week?

    Or, he's a simple chap, calls it has it is, last week the car wasn't where he expected it to be, so gave the replies he did, this week, there is improvement and called it like he saw (drove) it..

    Want to see what Vettel does with the RB9 before I cancel my Sky Subs, if he goes in, beats everyone by 1.3seconds whilst on hards, halfway through a Race sim, then in the words of the Two Ronnie's, "Its goodnight from me!"

    Lee McKenzie: "Massa talks to the media. Despite dramatic actions he seems happy after doing a full race sim on a damp track. Says Red Bull look v good"

    Statistic: WEB, MAS, PER, HAM did approx 10-lap runs on mediums at approx same time. Avgs: WEB 22.905; MAS 22.905, PER 29.169; HAM 29.701

    Tight between RBR and Ferrari then.

    However, in HAM's run was a stand-out 26.835 lap that was 2secs+ faster than anything else he did and no-one else got near it on their run

    For me its crazy that FIA havent been able to control this by now - it has been going on far too long and it obviously gives some form of performance.
