There seems to me to be some very odd times being set fast times by usually slow teams and slow times by usually quick teams!

And Honda threatened this morning but Ruben's is absolutely nowhere this afternoon :?
Lewis Hamilton & Jenson Button World Champions :)

Thanks GhoGho, you are correct. He didn't take part in the 2nd practice session due to back pains. Honda will confirm tonight whether he will take part in the British Grand Prix on Sunday

Webbo reckons that the "Williams" scar tissue built up on his bottom stops him from getting "F1 Back" 8)

Session underway and a number of cars are on the track doing installation laps.

Jenson Button is taking part in this session so he has been cleared for the rest of the weekend.
