Thanx Ed for a nice coverage

Alonso has not been appearing on track

Even yesterday he did a mximum of 10-12 laps??Can he b happy with the set up or r they concerned about his engine.

Michael Schumacher and Kimi Raikkonen on flyers. Michael looks set for the top spot!

Thanks Kapel,

Undoubtedly Alonso doesn't want to spend track time more than he needs. His lap time towards the end of the session yesterday seems to be rather competitive despite his lack of running so one can only assume that he is rather comfortable with his car. We'll know in a few hours!

Michael goes fastest followed by Raikkonen. 1:21.326 and 1:21.914 respectively

Michael seems to be doing qualifying runs and seems kimi too...but he's down 0.5sec to Michael

Mclarens need to improve on their qualifying runs
