A very interesting session. Pity Mark had trouble with the gear box.. he was looking quite good before that. Well done Hamilton.

With just over a second separating the top 10, it looks like we have a close field. BMW and Williams appear to have made good steps forward. We don't know fuel loads though but we'll get a clearer picture following qualifying tomorrow.

Things went petty much as expected, FELIPE, KIMI and FERNANDO up front.

LEWIS and SEBASTIAN look particularly good youngsters...:-)

ALEX and ANTHONY showed they thoroughly deserve the drive!

WILLIAMS show TOYOTA the way - imagine TORO ROSSO would be faster than FERRARI!!!

HONDA unfortunately confirm their rather conservative form..:-(

FISICO may surprise a few, including myself..;-)
