Great cheers for that will download it when I get home.

Pretty mixed set of results for the sessions so far.  I am looking forward to seeing proper qualifying again tomorrow.

[NEWEY]

looks like Mercedes GP are on form though ;) suppose we will all know more tomorrow :D

[Janner_Sy]

looks like ferrari are favourites to win tomorrow. from what i gather they rae only just behind on the onelap pace, but look after tyres better so for race pace they should be form to win. I reckon alonso will take massa though

[WhiteGTI]

Ferrari also look very good on their fuel, from what I've read themselves and Shell have spent a great deal of money on fuel research, fuel temperature and composition in the last year! Will be very interesting!

I tip Massa for the win tomorrow 

[RedRobin]

Very good practice sessions resulting with Vettel on pole.

1 - Vettel / Red Bull
2 - Massa / Ferrari
3 - Alonso / Ferrari
4 - Hamilton / McLaren
5 - Rosberg / Mercedes
6 - Webber / Red Bull
7 - Schumacher / Mercedes
8 - Button / McLaren
9 - Kubica / Renault
10 - Sutil / Force India

So good to see Massa back on form. I very much doubt he will, but I'd love him to win the championship.

As Schuey says: It's a long race tomorrow.

[Janner_Sy]

its a dificult one to predict for tomorrow as we have no idea how each car/driver is going to handle their tyres.

the ferrari's are supposably good with tyres, but i dont think massa will be able to fend off alonso for long.

hamilton is in a good place, but will he stay there or improve with his aggressive driving style.  he'll have to be a lot smoother to make his tyres last.

Schumacher is back there with the experience of racing in F1 when there was no refueling previously, plus he is ruthless. 

from what they day, the red bulls arnt particularily noce to the tyres so can vettel stay at the front for long?

Im most interested in barrachello though.  all of the top ten guys have to start on the tyres that they qualified their fastest lap with, so barrachello in 11th will have better tyres on and could potentially leap frog a few guys.

how awesome is this season already, so much unknown

poor showing from button and webber.

Feel sorry for vettel, didnt make one mistake.

[RobH]

Yeah vettel deserved that really. I'm really not a fan of alonso dont like the guy at all. Hamilton yet again getting the best out of his car when its clearly not as good as the redbulls and ferrari's.

[RedRobin]

^^^^
Yes, I agree: Vettel definitely deserved to win but it ain't over til it's over and such is motor racing.

I don't like Alonso's personality much but am glad to see Massa make the podium and I think Lewis will finish ahead of Button many more times if both cars stay running in a race.

Schumacher did well but it's still early days to see if he can hook up with his car any better or if he can beat Rosberg.

Lotus did well for a 'newcomer' too.

I enjoyed Lewis and Jenson interviewing each other. Lewis really does have an edge over Jenson on so many levels.

Shock news alert 

Vettel misses out on first win due to exhaust failure. Rumour in the paddock say's it was a milltek.

[WhiteGTI]

Thats brilliant!  I've always said that those Millteks are nothing but trouble
