Medilloni 6 Report post Posted February 26, 2008 I certainly hope so and that it is not a new tyre run on low fuel !!! To be honest Hookedon-f1, I don't care! If Hamilton's time was set as a qualy run (and anyone else ahead of Jense), and Button was 1.4secs behind of Ham, then that's a huge improvement already from the dreadful 2 - 3 seconds of a couple of weeks ago.

You're right Monza, IF Ham was on any kind of race fuel load and Honda were on quali runs, but if Ham was on a trial quali run, then I'll stay hopeful that the gap has closed by half from that of two weeks ago. In other words, if they were on similar fuel loads, I can take some solace (and some mushrooms? ) that the gap is slightly less than the suicidal level of a fortnight ago............

whiskee 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2008 I knew FI wouldn't be the backrunner... looks pretty nice for them, ehh. I think we will have Williams and Renault competing to be the 3rd fastest team, where Williams has the edge. It's hard to say anything for sure about BMW yet. I was hoping they would show more speed by now. In my eyes Macca start the season as favourites, after all. They had some technical issues today though.

Just some Fuel coupling issues which were quickly resolved..........Felipe went much quicker than Lewis's time today on friday in their private test sessions...so therefore i think Ferrari have an edge. RENAULT ARE DEFINETLY SANDBAGGING BIG TIME.THE EVIDENCE OF WHICH WILL BE EVIDENT IN A FEW DAYS TIME.
