G'day mate. 1:34 last year eh? Lets hope these guys can get close! I'm sure they will when the track rubbers in, and the teams find their set ups. 1.7 seconds seperates the field at the moment. Tight!

FI punching above their weight at the moment thats for sure. I wonder when McLaren - Mercedes will allow FI to run their KERS??

Nico tops P1 with a 1.36.260 - thats 4 prcatice session best times from 4 practice sessions for Nico :thbup:

The BMW - Saubers seemed to be a little off the pace, but it's a given that they slowly ease their way to a set up over the course of the weekend.

I wonder if Heikki had problems he only managed 7 laps.

Felipe pumps out a 1.35.832

BMW now look to be really struggling 2 seconds off the pace.

The Ferrari's look to be well hooked up at this point in time.

Kimi on a 1.35.707 to be fastest after P2
Felipe 1.35.832

Red Bull aslso seem to have decent pace as well, with Seb 1.35.954 and Mark on a 1.36.026

Nico misses out on being 5 from 5!!!!

I expect Brawn felt there was no need to show their hand early on! I wait with anticipation to see how quali pans out tomorrow!

Surprised to not see Brawn at the top. Assume that may be sandbagging.

BMW never show their hand in practice so I wouldn't worry about that.

I gather the Kimi smoke may have been KERS related.

Brawn doesn't need to sand bag.

Ferrari are fast and they showed it last race, too bad the sight of an empty beer bottle distracted Kimi, KERS would be of more help here in Sepang.

In which case, I'm not sure that they would have been so far ahead in Oz and yet behind here.
