You'd have to be a serious newbie to Formula one to make any claims of greatness based on practice 1 and 2 times. The teams are running all kinds of data tests and overall speed is far from their goals. They want consistent laps to evaluate data from the cars, not qualifying laps. Naturally, every driver has his days when his ego needs a bit of lovin, so sometimes they bust out a quali lap just to beat their team mate...who was doing his job and running data collection laps. It happens..but it means nothing.
Q3 is the only time when such comparison matters....all else is just fodder for the cheerleaders.
