[djos]

Nando drops into 1st with a 1:38:184 1/100ths of a second faster!

Looks like we have a fight on our hands after all!! and everyone seems to be doing qually runs atm!

Alonso in the 37's. 1:37:968

Thanks for the updates. The BBC in their (in)finite wisdom are showing ping-pong on BBC1, BBC2 and the red button (despite it saying FP2!).

What a joke!

[djos]

wow, 1/2 second between the top 7 atm!

[Giblet]

Mercedes looking decent with Schumi.

Thats a new channel, Free Pingpong 2.

currently Nando, Hamilton, Vettel, Schumi, Massa, Button & Webber all covered by 1/2 a second.

Looks like Webber and others have gone back to the Primes and are doing longer runs.

I believe what I am seeing is MB having the quickest turn-in speed but a very average on-throttle response out of the hole while RB has an average turn-in speed but maintain quick on-throttle out of the hole.

I think Schumacher was considerably later with his quick lap compared to rosberg .So he could gain a bit with Rosbergs feedback helping to get the setup in the window and improved track conditions?

Wow Glock only a few tenths behind The lotus T128s ...is the MV02 not as bad as we think? Maybe Wirths product has some worth after all.

For some reason I can't believe the pace of Mercedes.

Option 6 on multiscreen, carried full FP2.

Schumacher stated their balance and speed for one lap is ok but they will face a bigger dropoff than their competitors so he rules out anything in terms of a podium without major strike of luck.

It should be noted that during P1, Vettel was not using the off-throttle EBD. His final time was more than 2.5s slower than Webber which is probably not a completely accurate protrayal as we do not know their specific conditions, but it can be noted that there will be a difference. I have a feeling that those with strong mechanical setups will continue to do well. Ferrari, Mcl, RB
