I'm just waiting for Stefan GP to somehow sneak their car into qualifying when no body is looking.

An get kicked out becasue the Stewards think they are intruders

Good news for USF1 if they can manage to make their testing date this weekend, it could be the kind of break they need, but they have to make that date.

Sounds like they'd get more dry running than Lotus. But considering the noises coming out of the USF1 staff, it's a big "If".

F1Lite Massa knocks another 4 tenths off on a 1:23:204. The track is very nearly dry all round. Hamilton pits after his 21 lap stint.

So Fuel Loads Wise

it looks like Vettle is heaveist, followed by Lewis then Massa is very light.

Impressive from Vettle though 5 laps more and nearly a second faster track is dryer tho

[vaptin]

Vettle's certainly looking fast.

[cap-dude]

Nice to see Sauber removed the names from the side of the car.

Also, you know what I hope this means.

I do hope thats the new diffuser Ferrari are hiding there.

[Jamie]

Vettel hey? He is looking very impressive!

[cap-dude]

High tech world of F1 resorts to bin bags to hide diffusers

[scotty]

Toro Rosso pretty quick again... i stand by my prediction of them being dark horses.

[Jensonb]

How about that Lotus performance huh? Virgin eat your heart out. Looks like their all-CFD car wasn't all it's cracked up to be.

Virgin have done 4 laps though. I think they must have done 2 or 3 wet laps this morning, and then did 1 or 2 installation laps today. Seriously, Virgin aren't doing anything but just sitting there today. Wonder what the problem is.

Today the conditions have been so variable the times are worthless. It was dry for a while, and only a couple of teams got any dry running. So all the times seem based on what the conditions were like at the time.
