Interesting that they are recovering the cars, fixing them and sending them back out!

Looks like Toyota have the pace!

Intersting times from Ferrari but they could be light for all we know.

And we haven't seen the Renaults yet

Not sure they did any.

The race is on Sunday, and I still think that Fernando will most likely win, but I also still expect to see Michael Schumacher on an earned podium, unless the car breaks.

Considering Michael was definitely looking after his engine and tyres(and Ricardo not necessarily...) the FERRARI/Bridgestone combo doesnt look too bad at the moment....

And TOYOTA prove their pace yet again, as do REDBULL.

Not too much to be interpreted into this session, but MCLAREN have some work left.
