I had a feeling that HRT car would become useful at some point, the first day of proper running with their new front wing and Karthikeyan dipped below the 107% bracket, once Liuzzi gets properly underway, I wont be suprised if both Hispania's made the grid
And I think you're being a little mean on Virgin at the moment, Glock was the quicker of those 6 plus didnt Virgin say that the car has a lot more room for development with the first major upgrade coming for the beginning of the European season? I wont judge them until then.
As for Lotus, well that T128 has some potential, I have a feeling that when they get their first car upgrade, they could overtake Buemi, Alguersuari and possibly get on the coat-tails of the so far disappointing Force India's. They just need to iron out those unreliability problems"Alboreto, into the pits, and im going to stop the startwatch" (Murray Walker, Monaco 1987)

Roughly if the fastest time in Q1, was around 1:37.000 then 107% is about 6.80.
So a realistic target for all of the back markers.I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

Yes, as expected, HRT should have a fair few seconds in the pocket if only they can actually do some setup work and put the 2011 package together. Next steps will be harder, but they could match Virgin soon unless the Wirth team finds some good solutions for significant improvements.

I am naturally very dissapointed that HTR made it to the race.

I would rather prefer HTR and Virgin off the grid and replaced by a more competent team, as it is now, they add nothing."signature room for rent"
