To be fair to Yamamoto, he stopped on the track with a mechanical problem.
Franck hasn't managed to outpace Sato. Is Sato that good or is Montagny average ?

Kubica was the fastest of the test driver in the morning while Button was fastest of the regular race drivers. That isn't really an indication though as only a few regular drivers went out in the last few minutes.
