Kay 0 Report post Posted July 7, 2007 So Kimi is the faster of the Ferrari guys and Alonso is the faster of the Mclaren guys at the moment. DC had problems with his rear wing it would like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elgo 1 Report post Posted July 7, 2007 According to our (finnish) pitlane reporter Massa had on one of his stints wet tyres in front and normal hard tyres at the back same time. I don't know if this is really true but they speculated that Massa was finding out how long wet tyres last in dry weather... He also did one of his fastest laps with this setting Now that's a weird thing. I don't think it's true,or at least it shouldn't be!they must focus on this weekend and the tyres they will use.They can't waste their time doing these strange experiments.

ykickamoocow 0 Report post Posted July 7, 2007 It only makes it more embarrasing that Toro Rosso and Super Aguri are faster than Red Bull and Honda Also the Toro Rosso is essentially the same car as the Red Bull only with fewer updates. There is no reason why the Toro Rosso's should be faster than the Red Bull's but for some reason they are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elgo 1 Report post Posted July 7, 2007 Luca Colajanni told that those tyres were for start and pit-stop practices. We should expect a close battle between Ferrari and Mclaren.(In theory,then practice is never the same) And...things look good for Kimi! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elgo 1 Report post Posted July 7, 2007 It only makes it more embarrasing that Toro Rosso and Super Aguri are faster than Red Bull and Honda Yeah and although RB will be faster than Toro Rosso imo I doubt Honda will beat Aguri... Btw,don't Aguri have 3 or 4 points more than Honda?My memory is a bit blurred but I think that Sato has already got 4 or 5 points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kay 0 Report post Posted July 7, 2007 Commentry from the first session for anyone who comes and reads who has misses it: First Qualifying Session: Sutil 1:23.163 followed by Albers 1:23.160 Most don't take until the track until 12 minutes to go. Fisi goes fastest with a 1:21.054 (GF, HK, VL, AW, RS,) DC does second fastest with a 1:21.154 and Fisi improves to a 1:20.967. Hamilton then takes 1st with a 1:20.274 and Webber goes second with 1:20.771. Hamilton starts his next lap with a purple first and third sector; improves to a 1:19.885. Raikkonen goes second with a 1:19.960 while Alonso goes fastest by half a second 1:19.330. Button gets called into the weigh bridge which is a problem as he is in the drop zone and won't have much time to make changes before taking to his next lap. Massa goes third with a 1:19.790. Drop zone currently: Albers, Sato, Button, Sutil, Rubens and Davidson. Davidson spins off into the gravel, double waved yellows in the final sector - anyone on a flyer has to slow down - setting you fastest final sector will get you penalised. Hampers the driver who let him through on his flyer - Button.. Out: Albers, Sato, Sutil, Davidson, Button, Rosberg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kay 0 Report post Posted July 7, 2007 Liuzzi is the fast man out and over the line, he does a 1:20.947 - he'll need to improve dramatically. 10 minutes to go and finally more drivers are out - both Toyotas, DC and Wurz... followed by Fisi, Webber, Kimi Speed... almost everyone out. DC does a 1:21.006 which is quite slow in relative terms, Trulli does a 1:20.854 to go first but his team mate knocks him down the order with a 1:20.354. Webber goes second with a 1:20.424, Fisi first with a 1:20.294 but is immediately knocked off by Kimi with a 1:19.252. Hamilton goes second with a 19.4 dead, look quite ragged Alonso's on a flyer and sets the fastest lap with a 1:19.152 with the fastest first and last sector. Massa is the last of the Ferraris and Mclarens with a 1:19.421. Currently in the drop zone: Wurz, Coulthard, Trulli, Liuzzi, Rubens and Speed. The top 6 remain in the pits, that is both Mclarens, Ferraris and BMWs. There is a last minute dash where almost everyone improves their time. The BMW of Heidfeld is lucky to make it through as he is bumped to 10th had Webber not made a mistake in the last sector he would have been out. Knocked out: Liuzzi, Speed, Rubens, Wurz, DC & Webber.
