Sounds like qualifying will be interesting.

Hamilton returns to the track in the final seconds!

Alonso just about goes quicker but it isn't into the 11s and Lewis is going to have to be ridiculously quick on this outlap!

Hamilton won't improve as he made a small mistake in the middle sector

He actually aborts!

I agree with you on Hamilton particularly in the first session however he did look a bit sloppy during the second. And he gets too close to that wall!!

I think apart from the McLaren's they were all sliding everywhere and Montreal and Indy were the tracks that worried McLaren

Qualifying should be good

Denny Hulme, Monaco......many years ago...every lap, the commentators thought he was going to take the left rear off..........he won......i have seen footage of it...............beautiful to watch

Order at the end of the session: Alonso (1:12.150), Vettel, Hamilton, Kovalainen, Heidfeld, Raikkonen, Massa and Fisichella.

A few interesting results!

Very interesting but hard to take much out of practice.

Ah That's your secret of eternal youth then.

Lewis will have upset Fernando with that little run. I suspect he was hoping for a bit of an advantage.

And how did you know he has that, which he does
