They seem to be right with the Ferraris, don't they? Fernando dominated most of practice, Lewis was also on P1 at one point, and it was only thanks to a last-minute banzai lap from Massa that Fernando was denied pole. |

Pretty amazing, considering the so-called second-and-a-half advantage the Ferraris were supposed to have only three weeks ago. I wonder how much the flexi-floor had to do with Ferrari's speed. more than they are willing to admit, it would seem. |

is slightly heavier than Alonso, and probably about the same as Lewis.

of the circuit, the different temperature and humidity, or Ferrari
concerns about the engines lasting out. But I would certainly bet that
Ferrari's claim that it made zero difference is a lie.

Hamilton says " I think we could have had two cars on the front row" inferring that he thinks Alonso also underperformed today. |
both been quicker than Massa? Have I missed something, or didn't
Hamilton qualify 4th and Alonso 2nd?

Maybe he didn't quite mean that, but it brought a little grin to my face. Great to see them mixing it at the sharp end. I hope the times are representative. |
of two things; either Felipe is genuinely that much quicker, or he's
carrying a fair bit less fuel.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but they're at a different circuit this weekend, aren't they? |
do see some fluctations in relative speed at different circuits -
especially when they are of different natures - these differences rarely
are enough to make substantial differences. In other words, it is more
common to see that a particular car is dominant at present, and it will
be the dominant car at whatever circuit they go to. Over the course of
the season, that can change, but that is due to different development
schedules rather than changes in track.

Hondas will have a 3 second advantage over everyone.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but they're at a different circuit this weekend, aren't they? Yes, but the comment the other guy is making is fair enough. While you do see some fluctations in relative speed at different circuits - especially when they are of different natures - these differences rarely are enough to make substantial differences.

Nah, now you're just being silly!
