Watched both sessions, and Buemis reaction when he got to the pit explained it all really. Crazy stuff, thankfully nobody was heard. On the onboard you could see the camera men in the background running out of the way, you just couldnt see the tyre, so naturally im sure everybody feared the worse until the full picture was shown! Not a great weekend so far for Seb!
As for the rest, a few interesting things I noted. Firstly the little battle between Luizzi and Kobayashi... Even with the F-Duct Kobayashi was no quicker than Luizzi down the straight, even slower it looked. Looking at the trap speeds now though, is session 2 Kobayashi was top. But coming out that corner it did look asif Luizzi pulled away abit.
Noticed the Merc's were running around with tape or something on their rear wing endplate, which went from the bottom right round the wing. It was only on 1 side. No idea what it was but I guess some sort of measuring equipment.
One thing that really bugged me was the way Alonso reacted to Senna at the end. Senna held Alonso up for two corners max, with nowhere else to move. Alonso reacted in the normal way an F1 driver does. Stick his hand out. It really bugged me because it just seemed like Alonso wanted priority because he's in the 'red car', it doesnt matter what anyone else is doing, it seemed more of a "move im coming through" type thing. As for Jenson doing it, that was slightly more understandable. The Virgin blocked for quite a few corners. What was a disgrace was how Jenson then decided to do the same... Why? Maybe talk after the session or something, but to deliberatly then hold up Di Grassi? It just seems abit childish to me. But yeah that Alonso thing really got to me, he gave Senna no time to react, Senna moved as soon as it was viable for himself and Alonso reacted. They should get on with the job they are being paid to do! I very much share the opinion of sportscar drivers when it comes to traffic, its soemthing along the lines of, 'im faster, i WILL find a way past, dont deviate from your line'. In qualifying I guess it can be a different matter, but in FP2? c'mon guys.
edit - 6 engines for alonso for a total of 78 sessions. (inc tomorrows FP and qualifying). And of course 16 of those 'sessions' are races. Not great for Ferrari, not great for Alonso's title bid. I think because of that Lewis has now overtaken him as my favourite for the title.
