even though it was Montoya that posted the fastest lap.

They may have been looking at average over 10 laps, or something
like that. Fastest lap in practice is rarely useful for predicting
how a driver will run in the race, but looking at how a car is
doing after it gets a few laps on the tires can be instructive.

C'mon, you know that's not the case, John.


btw, avg speeds:
1 Martin
2 Montoya
3 Speed
4 Johnson
5 Bliss

also, note that they all only ran a handful of laps compared to everyone
else, helping to keep their avg on the high side, oh yeah, HH was only a
couple hours before quals too, considering their avgs are about 2
seconds quicker than everyone else, I'd say they concentrated on quals
during HH

Why do you think they didn't credit Montoya then?

I have no clue, actually, since I never look at n.com and thus
have no idea how they usually report on practice.

In years past I used to look at Jayski for practice numbers,
but this year I just haven't been interested enough to.

well, no matter, I see that they've deleted and/or changed the article

The title was: With no pressure on him, Johnson paces HH

and then down in the article it said, Johnson was fastest in HH, only
bested by the lap of Montoya, lol
