Other than having no accusations stick?

Knew nothing about Piquet deliberately crashing.
Knew about and discussed Ferrari info at McLaren with De La Rosa and Coughlan.

Yeah came from nothing sticking to him, although I think it was much later than the McLaren thing, mainly about Singapore.

Ferrari practicing giving each other a tow

I have always wondered why teams never did that round Monza, seems a really good way to get a little bit more from the lap, especially with DRS now

There isn't really the time with the short sessions.

Sure Ferrari done it last year.

Too long ago to remember

Crofty mentioned that a minute ago, Ferrari confirmed it was a mistake having both cars together and not intentional.

I wonder what he will call it?

Skeeter · 8 Sep 2012 at 10:56

Would that be a balance issue?

Troll time by Hamilton.

Mr Men · 8 Sep 2012 at 10:57

Lewis on mediums, don't seem much between medium and hard here.

Mr Men · 8 Sep 2012 at 10:57

Last, significantly last. But didn't bin it.

But first time driving the car, and it was an HRT.

*looks at OP*

HRT FP1 Times

Code:

23.  Pedro de la Rosa    HRT-Cosworth          1m29.331s  + 3.909s  21
24.  Ma Qing Hua         HRT-Cosworth          1m31.239s  + 5.817s  26

HRT FP2 Times (to compare)

Code:

23.  Pedro de la Rosa    HRT-Cosworth          1m28.575s  + 3.285s  34
24.  Narain Karthikeyan  HRT-Cosworth          1m28.779s  + 3.489s  21

He did drive in the young drivers test so isn't first time in the car, but obviously still very very new to it.

Do Lotus have their super DRS working here? if not seems like they have wasted a lot of time to get it working and have missed the ideal track for it?

Skeeter · 8 Sep 2012 at 11:13

2 seconds off the pace with almost no experience of the car and on a track he probably doesn't know? Not too bad.

Was more a question about if he binned it or anything though.

Anyway, quali looks like it will be close up top.

No they aren't using it until next race at Suzuka. I *think* its due to it not making a big difference? Or not happy running it yet. It is better suited to higher downforce tracks (so you can 'lose more' downforce).
