Neither do I..Check out the various F1 news sights. They all say the same..Massa ran a different program in the afternoon than he
did in the morning...

Why should anyone have to defend Ferrari on a Ferrari site?
You guys should get your act together. Your like the F1 police.

**johncnet** · 24th March 2012, 03:21

To be fair, Ferrari twitter said something different during Free Practice 2. It mentioned that Massa was on the same program.

So we're hearing 3 different things. The twitter first say its the same. Pat Fry says its slightly different. Massa say its different.

Its hard to tell for the fans as we're getting conflicting story from within the team itself. Its up to anyone's judgement to read into it.

Lotus_F1Team: A problem with one of the fridges caused the fire... somewhat ironic to say the least. Luckily we've found a new base! #F1 #SepangSundae

Did Kimi sneak in at night for a Magnum & Coke ??

There goes Kimi's ice cream for the weekend

@InsideFerrari - A shower is growing very close of the circuit. For the moment a few drops at times, said Meteo France radar. Rain expected soon.

**Hornet** · 24th March 2012, 04:34

please don't rain on qualifying. We have a good chance of getting into Q3.

Lotus hospitality unit destroyed in Malaysian Grand Prix paddock fire

Lotus has been forced to relocate itself in the Sepang paddock after a fire destroyed its hospitality unit overnight.

In the early hours of Saturday morning, a suspected electrical fault in a fridge caused a fire that eventually destroyed the team's hospitality unit and kitchen facilities.

AUTOSPORT understands that the team was able to save some of its drivers' kits - including overalls and boots - from the private rooms of Kimi Raikkonen and Romain Grosjean.

With its unit now out of action, Lotus has been forced to move itself next to Marussia at the bottom end of the Sepang paddock - although its marketing and hospitality staff have been left without any equipment.

The team's engineering operation has been unaffected, as it is based in a separate unit attached to the pit building, and the fire will not have any impact on its track efforts.

**vcs316** · 24th March 2012, 04:42

Its raining on track !!

**Hornet** · 24th March 2012, 04:49

Hopefully its a quick one and dries up by 4pm

**anialonso** · 24th March 2012, 04:51

But I think we a greater chance of qualifying higher up the grid if it rains...
Didn't Alonso say that the car felt good in damn conditions in aus...

Why do you not want the rain? Alonso himself (before Australia) said, that damp/wet track is what suits our car best.

Not full on rain, he said its not as bad on a damp track getting dryer. Rain will just exaggerate this cars flaws, poor traction and over/understeer, the car will be dancing everywhere.
