Didn't Kimi do a 33.1 in the first session? That would put him almost 0.5 up on the rest of the grid. If Kimi leads lap 1 he'll walk this one.

Yes, Kimi posted two of the fastest times in yesterday, Hamilton was second fastest when pretty much everyone but Kimi pmproved their times in second session.
I i were to guess in a optimistic way, i'd say Kimi had more fuel in the second session. ;)
Actually Kimi said he could have go a lot faster in the 2nd session, but due to the traffic he couldn't get a clean lap at the end of the session. So that explains the small gap between him and Hamilton. I expect that Ferrari still has at least 0.5 sec advantage to McLarens. :cool:
Yes I hope so too, but I have a funny feeling that Ron Dennis is going ti screw up his strategy. Run him heavy again, and use the same stupid pit stop strategy he used Malaysia. LH hasn't put a foot wrong so far in Bahrain, and with new engines, should be given an equal opportunity to race for the win. I hope he takes pole and forces Ron Denni's hand. I wonder how much say he has in determining his own fuel load, tyre strategy etc, in the team. I am sure alonso has that type of freedom. I don't mean down to the nitty gritty, but choices like, " I want to run lighter than in Malaysia in the first stint, and I want to run my hard compound tyres in the scond stint please"Quote:
