   The 2 teams at the front hardly doing any running…

   Vettel crashed. Hamilton is said to have a clutch problem.
   But what about Webber and Button?

      Saving their wet tyres for the race perhaps?

         Indeed, if this is going to be full wet race all the way through those tyres are going to be so valuable, coming into the pits for the 4th set that have wear could be very costly.

            I guess there was not that much they could have learnt. Makes the Vettel spin even more of a bitter thing for him.

            But if the racs offers a bit of wet running, or just has the threat of it that might be a nice twist to the weekend.

   Was a pretty boring FP session to be honest. I was very surprised that more teams didn’t go out to sample the wet tyres.

   I would imagine that this afternoons times won’t be particularly representative as its a drying track too.

   I suspect that will see Hulkenburg out perform Di Resta many times this year.

   Of course, it’s still early, so I could be wrong.
   I just think Hulkenburg deserves a race seat.

      Sutil’s career appears to be stalling in a Trulli-esque fashion. I have to say Di Resta and Hulkenberg is a more exciting driver line up than the current one…

         Too right it is. Sutil hasn’t excited me since 2009.

      I think you are reading way too much into a friday test time. Di Resta has matched Sutil pretty comfortably in quali and the races so far, and I cant say that Hulkenberg would be able to do the same. Hulk does deserve a drive soon, but I think DiResta deserves to show what hes got before people start saying that the Hulk deserves that seat.

      I’m more and more a Hulkenberg fan, and Ricciardo is surprising too.

   Fernando was going some on that straight, bit dicey doing that in those conditions.

   Liuzzi did the 2nd most laps out of anyone and managed to beat the Virgins and a Lotus.

   Really hope those updates work, maybe the HRT is just good in rain like the STR in 2008?

      hadn’t seen the graphs don’t display in IE9 ‘native’: use the Compatibility View (“broken file” icon to the right of the place you type the address) to correct.

   Looks like a really good session from Buemi. Good top speed, decent fastest lap and probably the most consistent throughout the session.
