Indeed, but who will go for a glory run at the end to unseat him?
Some interesting observations:

Another rule for 2010 states "powered devices which assist in lifting any
part of a car are forbidden in the pit lane during a race".
But at Mercedes GP, mechanics were testing new quick-release pit jacks that operate with the use of purely mechanical and spring-loaded triggers, rather than electronics or pneumatics.
There have also been some insider rumblings - most notably from within Red Bull Racing - about the design of the new McLaren MP4-25 car.
It is believed that some of the air flowing into the air box above Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button's heads is being channeled not to the engine, but also to the rear of the car for aerodynamic purposes.
More of an optical illusion. The sidepod ducts are concaved if you haven't noticed.Quote:

With metronomic regularity there's been a red flag a few minutes from the end of today's session (Trulli's Lotus). Green again, will anybody go for a low-fuel flyer?
once again session stopped in last few minutes
this is ridiculous
And another one just two minutes from the end! Alonso this time. Looks as if the Hulk could end the day fastest.
Edit: it's over for today, with the Williams a fraction quicker than Alonso's best time:
1 Hulkenberg Williams 1m20.614s
2 Alonso Ferrari 1m20.637s +0.023
3 De la Rosa Sauber 1m20.973s +0.359
4 Liuzzi Force India 1m21.056s +0.442
5 Vettel Red Bull 1m21.258s +0.644
6 Alguersuari Toro Rosso 1m21.571s +0.957
7 Schumacher Mercedes 1m21.689s +1.075
8 Hamilton McLaren 1m22.152s +1.538
9 Kubica Renault 1m24.912s +4.298
10 Trulli Lotus 1m25.524s +4.910
11 Glock Virgin 1m25.942s +5.328
a very cynical red flag imo. Alonso doing a MSC Monaco?Quote:
