Renault and BMW preparing for a 1 stop strategy?!

[Flat.tyres]

the Ferraris are showing some good pace early on. this is normally a good indication for race pace seeing as they are both quite close together.

maccas are a little slower than expected but Lewis set a solid marker which looks promising.

we shall see. practice is practice but ferrari are looking strong.

Signs were that McLaren were beginning to get out front on their own. If Ferrari are back on the pace then all the better mokin:

They would be out of their minds to try that, considering 1) the weather forecast and 2) the very short box entrance and exit that allowed MS pull off the 4 stop strategy in 04. More than likely sandbagging.

just heard from a friend that chance of rain at the circuit on sunday <10% at present which normally means dry

expecting it to be overcast at times but should be dry.

But the chance of rain for the race is now of a 70% (it was a 60% yesterday).

According to Honda, their recent top secret testing session has resulted in a small step forward...... hplease: We'll see what they can figure out before qualifying but it doesn't look very promising at all.

Vettel in for Heidfeld?

Nick Heidfeld is in real trouble with back problems and it looks like he may miss the French Grand Prix. A decision must be made this evening so that Sebastian Vettel can take over tomorrow if it is necessary.
