Force India are looking very strong as well, with DiResta 5th in both sessions so far.

He was demoted to Reserve driver, which he did not want. Apparently, it is the closest way for him to stay in F1.
I have read that his position is that of technical/ developmental input, only.

After 20 laps HK was a half-second behind Pic. I wonder what tires he used. I imagine they would want him to use both sets so that he could properly evaluate the car's handling.

Alonso or Kimi.

Alonso or Kimi.

Zo!

Yeah judging by the China dominance, the practice pace and his epic form so far this year, it'd be tough to bet against Alonso.

[Koz]

Gutierrez will start at the back of the grid?

Heikki's Friday work paid off. The Catherams are finally ahead of Marussias. Alonso may have shown his hand too soon.

so what the heck is lotus doing with Grosjean?

its a very poor strategy
almost like they don't care about his side of the garage

[truefan72]

its is really a very sad situation for grosjean
tough to compete when your own team compromises you
