Four German drivers in the first six. Blighters are dominating driving cars as well as making cars. Perhaps they took heart from Deutschland's hammering of GB in the hockey world champs yesterday.

Mercedes and McLaren have bounced back from a difficult morning...

 

 

Right. Everyone's still guessing about who's actually fastest at the moment, given all the fuel load experimentation. (The commentators this morning were being pretty honest about not knowing who was really quick!). It'll be Quali 2 and 3 when things start getting going.

I think its amazing that shumacher gets within 0.5 of second after 3 years off!!! the others had better watch out as the rust falls off the german legend.good to see nico do well but  as before over previous seasons , dont think he will be as quick as michael over a race distance, only time will tell. cant wait for quailifying to begin......bring it on!!!!
