Looks like the Ferrari aero changes made a big difference. Wow, we might actually have a racing competition again. :D

Lotta sandbagging going on today. More than usual.

What's going on? :devillook

Has anything changed in terms of the race distance? More / less laps from what they did last or the past few years?

Doubtful, but, I agree it looks like lots of sandbagging otherwise.

Scott is in third because Friday times have nothing to do with race and qual. times.

Practice times so it's really irrelvant, BUT that being said Ferrari is usually strong in Europe. I hope they can bring the fight back to Mclaren.

Correct those times really don't mean anything. Vettle was 2nd in practice when I was at Indy and he dropped to 8th during qualifying.

No, but they did mention the track was resurfaced from last year's.. which MIGHT explain how they got close to Schumi's track lap record of 1:15.377 :eek:

Maybe not... they seem to be doing well the Red Bull cars :) We shall see tomorrow but to have 3 cars up there means they might have done something right. AND this is their first race with seamless shift IIRC
