    With the last video tbh I didn't see nothing major wrong with the Ferrari, I felt they were holding back as well as IRBR when I look at the corner entry. Ferrari did look a bit cautious and slow through there bu I don't know how early in the day that was, tbh on further looking Massa looks to be pushing less than Webber, but could just be on different programs as mark looked more confident through the chicane at ease unlike Romain who was on the limit, about the same speed almost as IRBR. I can see the understeer which Webber was complaining about, but IRBR said they were just testing aero levels so the car might just be on maximum downforce to see how much they have got considering how stable the rear was. At 0:17 I don't know if that was a IRBR or a TR that was taking a corner pretty well IMO, just looked fluid and controlled going in and out.

    Lotus were pushing harder than both IRBR and Ferrari in my opinion and Sauber themselves looked to be taking it easy IMO as their rear was not being abused as much in the chicane like with the Lotus. Force India were also going about the same pace as Lotus and Paul was locking up a lot as the pictures suggest.

    For me against McLaren these guys are holding back (Higher Less - Lower More):

    Lotus=Force India
    TR=Caterham
    Sauber
    IRBR=Ferrari

    Now mentioned just once in the last 40 minutes and only because of a twitter post.

    Think some of you just see red whenever the bloke gets mentioned. This has cropped up before.


    edit :- If you've felt the need to count the number of times he's mentioned, that is a bit obsessive!? Silver can help you out with that.

    Autosport said he locked up, so sounds liked driver error.

    What's that I hear over the hill?
