Yeah, Force India is fast too, but it should have been obvious from my post to which two teams I was referring to, especially since we were in the middle of the practice when I posted, and my post was related to the practice times.

Further, I'm not sure how you got the conclusion that I'm advocating the error that there are only 4 cars with Mercedes engines, I did no such thing.

Please don't take offence you seemed to imply that Mercedes engines had an advantage because the top 4 had Mercedes engines all i was pointing out is that some cars that were slower also had Mercedes engines. I don't think the times are down to the engine the Ferrari engine is also very powerful. The times are down to fuel loads in my opinion Red Bull will be the pace setters here they tend to run heavier loads in practice.

I'm with Frosty i read it as only 4 cars have Merc engines.

Button is not going to finish.

What a bizarre prediction

Another good practice session for Lewis, Vettel and Nico. Webber's car packed in, anyone know what the issue is, Anthony Hamilton thinks its either engine or gearbox failure, either way its not a good start to 2010 for RBR regarding reliability. Hope they get it sorted for tomorrow.

“That was a tough day for us. We carried out lots of interrogations on the car, but we feel that we aren’t as quick as we should be so we have a lot of work to do tonight to find out why that is.”

The Hulk had lots of technical problems too, this FW32 is turning into "a dog of a car" as EJ would say.

Not looking good for the Cossie boys

Also there seems a big gap to the HRT's

[MAD MAX]

Very surprised to see Felipe off the pace too

2 Stop?

2 Stop?

A few more if the weather is anything to go by.

2 Stop?

Nope. Either start on the hards and run most of the distance, then do the last bit on softs or else do a short opening stint on the softs (the top-ten will likely do this) before switching to the hards and doing the rest of the distance on those, much like in Bahrain.

The point is moot. It will rain.

I will laugh if it doesn't rain after you've said this so emphatically, oh mighty all-seeing predictor of the weather...

Oh, and both Red Bulls have broken engines after 2nd practice, due to overheating, according to spanish magazine Marca

I'm going by what the Malaysians have said. They seem pretty bloody sure and it is, after all, their country.
