They are the one big team yet to show their hand in terms of quali pace

Or maybe, that. In which case they'd be in a pretty awkward position if they needed to change "supplier".
well since they constantly have been running into these very similar issues, it might not be a bad idea to be honest.
i remember they had to take the engine out before because of another sensor issue a couple of tests ago.
A sensor issue doesn't mean the sensor is actually at fault, it's more likely to be interference, heat or installation related.

RB, Ferrari and Williams separated by one tenth only, RB is just a tad faster than Ferrari and Williams on race distance.

Basically, there is nothing between these three teams.

So fantastic job by Ferrari during this winter, last year they were perhaps 5 tenths slower than Red Bull and Williams.


edit :

14:16 - Maldonado was on an out lap and he's ended up going straight on in to the tyres near the exit of Turn 4. Strange one

14:14 - Maldonado's binned it at Turn 4
