Thanks again ED, I suggest bathing the blistered fingertips in meths, takes the pain away, and toughens the pads. Just don't drink it

Thanks guys!
It is tiring for sure and thanks for the tip Julian!
Looks like qualifing will be very close. Order will be very important and Alonso, Trulli and Raikkonen will benefit the most while Fisichella, Michael and the 2 BAR's will be at a disadvantage.
Back in 1.5 hours

Guys don't you get the feeling that Alonso is controlling the whole thing superbly.
Michael is putting qualifying times to unsettle the others then Alonso goes out at the end of the second session and goes fastest nearly!
Michael is being out-psyched guys
