Any pictures from the morning one? Was at work and the computer I was on didn't connect to the net or the server, even though it appeared to.

Piquet's day comes to an end. Beached at the first chicane.

Best bit was, he backed over the kerb, then drove forward slowly onto it, beaching it in the process. :D

i would have thought that the mclarens where better on the curbs, but the ferrari has the higher topspeed, but hamilton did 346, and kimi/massa 341, so that means its a turn around from last year :P

Or that Ferrari are just using any power advantage as an opportunity to add a little more downforce.

Frankly, a 5kph difference could just be the wind blowing in a slightly different direction for a couple of seconds though.

Still, Kimi didn't get much of a tow from Hamilton at Spa last weekend, so perhaps Merc are level.

It did look, to the eye (not exactly a scientific method), that Ferrari were running a bit more wing in Spa though.

Kimi said after todays practise session that the F2008 has never felt as good as it did today.

BMW have been good here in the past, so they could spring a surprise in qualifying i think, especially if they give kubica a low fuel load to mix with the ferraris and mclarens
