Mclaren finaly "best of rest" behind top 3 teams.
Hasegawa said Spa or Monza next upgrade...so Ferrari will be target then.

Brundle was commentating from trackside views around the circuit.

Said every car other than the Merc needed additional steering input out of corners, mini corrections if you like.
Can't quote word for word, but basically said the rear of the car is way better than anything else, and the front turns in on demand without protest from the rear, and without corrections on exit.<<<< relative the rest of the grid.

The optimism is strong in this one..... how about Mclaren catch Williams torro rosso and Force India for starters?
Mclaren will not finish in the top 10 as usual .

Looks like it might be tight between Ferrari and the 'Bulls.

I think it will be tighter between Mclaren, Force India, Haas, Williams and STR.

His rear left tire clipped a curb and that unsettled the car and he hit a barrier. It was basically cosmetic damage, but Merc decided to disassemble the car to make sure there were no underlying issues. Hence, Lewis sitting out FP2.

- He crashed, it wasn't "tyre clipping and unsettling" anything
- 'basically cosmetic damage' that stopped the session, didn't want to drive unpleasant looking car or what [-o< ?

Looks like it (told you Ferrari should be fine) although one lap might be different.

All this effort for who is third best? Ferrari need to find form soon. Or else concentrate on next year. This year is a goner.

First step would be to tie up the Technical Director.

Their pace will be better on Saturday as I think they are using the old engines for Fridays. However they have pace and reliability issues as well to sort now.

Nico has a shot in the arm with Hamilton missing FP2. Will be interesting to see who leads going to the Spring break.
