So what's been going on?
Rosberg's Mercedes stopped out on track with what is assumed to have been a mechanical problem, and Petrov had a harmless spin and stopped at turn one. Both incidents triggered red flags, but the session's running again now.
Times so far (with the standard issue caveat):
1 Massa Ferrari 1m20.709s
2 Perez Sauber 1m21.483s +0.774
3 Ricciardo Toro Rosso 1m21.755s +1.046
4 Hamilton McLaren 1m21.914s +1.205
5 Webber Red Bull 1m22.257s +1.548

Looks like Newey find a way to use all that hot gas leaving the engine compartment by blowing it under the rear wing.
He was doing it last year too, just to a smaller extent. Welcome back btw. :)Quote:
