I guess it depends on the car, Raikkonen in the Ferrari didn't appear to have that much difference in lap times. I think Hamilton is having some problems with the setup. It is hot but we've seen hotter races or at least as hot this season but being counter clockwise and turn 8 may be an issue. He is still fastest though :wink:

Judging by the performance on track by Fernando and Lewis it would seem Lewis is the happier bunny after their wee chat and new agreement. 8)

I guess there are a lot of traffic issues in the session since the red flag and all, making it hard to judge the value of the lap times. :?
