Best sector times added together shows Red Bull are the clear favourites, although Vettel did gain time by cutting the last corner. Red Bull - 1:30.312 Mercedes - 1:30.651 Lotus - 1:30.781 Ferrari - 1:30.818 I'll be thrilled if Ferrari are with half a second of pole in Q3. It would also prove that Silverstone was a one off. Some good comments from the team as well: Alonso: "we seem to have made a step forward and returned to the level of competitiveness which we had prior to Silverstone. One of the positives was the behaviour of the tyres which worked well today and did not create any problems." Alonso on twitter: "Good Friday. Tomorrow we will try to improve a bit before qualy. At this track, it seems we are competitive. Happy." Massa: "Over a long run, the car behaved well and this makes me very confident for Sunday." Fry: "the first impressions are that the new kevlar construction has not affected the balance of the car." Benson's data has Red Bull the quickest on the long runs, but Alonso's medium tyres were 15 laps old when he started his race simulation (compared to Vettel with 8 laps and Webber with 7 laps). Benson's data:
I set the wrong time for my qualifying in the prediction league, I had based it on last year's race. That sound you just heard was my palm hitting my face. EDIT: On another note, where is everyone? It's like a ghost town on here.
Yeah but it's been pretty dead all day and it's not like we've been lacking in controversy was just wondering really.
It's not much of a friday night when you spend every minute of it out with your mates secretly thinking "Goddammit, I wanna be home with my Live Timing screen right now"
According to F1PitRadio on twitter, Bianchi got his tyres up to temp fine, Chilton was 20 degrees under.
