Felipe getting faster and faster and Lewis as far as I can tell is getting a tad slower each lap . . .

Nakajima hasn't set a time yet. Looks like there is a problem with his car

Live timing is a bit glitchy this afternoon. Lewis did 15 laps in that stint which is a little unusual, however he did seem to set the quickest time of the stint on the last lap a 1:15.9 I think it was.

Not much change in the order as the drivers concentrate on race setup.

Massa is on the track with the softer compound

Is it my imagination or is the option tyre just a faster wearing version of the prime? Few people seem to get quicker times with it and this is not the first track I have noticed this effect.
