I watched the 2nd practice before work today. I hope Ferrari (and McLaren and BWM) are at the back because they have alot of set-up to test for their new upgrade parts. I think tomorrows practice before quali will be a little different.

Hmm, not looking good :( I can’t work out whether not using KERS is a good thing or not… should be more reliable, but it seems they need that speed :?

This news story is pdated at last with my mini report:

Usual service seems to have resumed from the last race with the recently cleared ‘double decker’ diffuser teams still ending fastest of the day along with the Red Bulls.

Hamilton however also looks in with a shot in qualifying tomorrow as he’s cars new diffuser seems to have given him some much needed additional speed. The Brit finished the first free practice on top.

Rosberg took that role in FP2, continuing with his impressive Friday form. Kimi Raikkonen however looks to have another tough weekend ahead of him, with his KERS less car proving as slow and challenging we all feared it would be. He finished the day fourteenth overall.

It looks like tomorrow will be a close at the front in Q3 - lets just hope the Kimster makes it through to the top ten shot out to be in with a chance of a much needed points finish on Sunday.
