Kubica's car is bottoming out with sparks coming out of it!

It looks like Lewis has sorted out the final sector, where he was losing a 2 tenths yesterday. That will not please Ferrari.

Kubica has not been a happy bunny this weekend. He sounded very dispondent on the radio.

Looks like Pole will be a battle between Hamilton and Massa with Kovalainen an outside chance. Raikkonen seems to be struggling here for some reason

Being 18th in the final practice doesn't make you happy!!

Can't wait for qualifying, it should be a lot of fun what with all the new regulations regarding holding people up. On this circuit it is virtually impossible not to hold people up!

"he (Alonso) and Piquet spent the first half of the session running consistently more than 25 seconds off the pace. The pair was probably scrubbing some of their tyre allocation to prevent graining problems in qualifying and the race."

Has the rest of the grid missed a trick?

Thanks Snowy. That sounds like a plausible reason
