Go NICO! 1m20.6s almost identical to little Nico and Fred's best time from earlier in the week.
Perhaps we have a situation where ten drivers could win a GP this year with 5 teams all having shown pace; McLaren, Ferrari, Williams, Mercedes and Red Bull. :D
IMO they will look stupid if their old driver beats them.Quote:

surprised by Williams pace, it seems that the Cossie is not the donkey we thought, and therefore the new boys are genuinely off the pace, not just because of an enforced engine choice, that or Williams are by far the quickest but hobbled by the engine.
it does look close at the top - Red Bull, Merc, McLaren and Ferrari have all had their time at the top when they've got for a flyer and all seem pretty close on the long runs too, with Renault, Torro Rosso, Williams and Sauber all nipping at their heels. i think we might be in for a vintage season, i'm just hoping one of the big boys have not been sandbagging
All we have learnt with 2010 winter tests is that the field is extremely tight. How precise. :p :
Last year we got so many surprises (Brawn's early domination, RBR's domination in China, Force India's pole position - all were quite incredible to see) that I already got used to shocking and stunning results and I really want to see them keep coming, otherwise it would become boring, like watching endless McLaren/Ferrari domination. :s nore: The emotions of watching the qualifying sessions of the 2009 Australian and Belgian GP's will be unforgettable - "wtf was this?!?!" Need more of this! Please 2010, give us a shocking Force India/Sauber front row! :D Or why not even a Williams if Cossie is above others. :p : Or most shockingly - Stefan GP pole! :eek:
You seem to be quite excited, which is a good thing :up:Quote:

And there speaks a proper F1 enthusiast, rather than someone who is impressed by the sport's machinations, wealth and status, which is nice to see. I agree — it should be a splendid season.Quote:
