14:56 Red Bull looks good again in the technical sections - Webber records the highest top speed of any car today through sector two.
I think the Lotus and Force India are pretty close in performance..
I don't think Sauber is faster than Ferrari ;)
Rest in Peace Leza, you were a true warrior...
From Ferrari engineer.System checks and verification anaysis done with no issues encountered. Rest of the day would be used for data gathering, that is in mid and long stints mainly. Disregard times as noone is giving it a real go on the first day.

And also i think that it is not allowed to use bodywork to direct the exhaust gasses for aero gain so that would make it illegal unless there is a loophole of course
One hopes the FIA doesn't make a last minute decision. They are pretty good at changing their minds out of the blue
That said, I really wish Ferrari could keep its innovation for once. Even if it means the world will end on Dec 21st. Ferrari seems to get things banned faster than other team
Why Ferrari did only 19 laps after lunch?
Oh well looks like we are going to be racing Williams and HRT
Forza Ferrari
Well thats it for day 1. I think since its the first time these new cars are running, naturally there's nothing much to see.
I think the only thing worth noting from today is this
Though that's probably to be expected of the top teams.Trackside news from @StrangAutosport: "Kimi looking super smooth into final corner. Button and Webber running together - both cars already looking planted under braking"
Ooo, interesting detail.

There must be a loophole in the rules that allows more than 2 elements in the rear wing in that outer area. I count 4 elements.
We're gonna need a bigger CHIME!!!!!

Looks like Ferrari were playing with the exhaust:
My guess is the version without the exposed tip was attempting to blow the rear brake duct fins. This second version looks to blow the beam wing.
