Clearly it made a difference to Red Bull

**jscud51** · 22nd July 2011, 10:06

**Hornet** · 22nd July 2011, 10:06

Vettel looks like he's trying really hard, throwing the car around.. Good sign

**Rishu** · 22nd July 2011, 10:07

Interesting to see who pits first

Edit: same time, gives a good picture, but again its only Friday

Lap record in the 127' still to early to draw the same conclusions that we'll be drawing Sat morning

**goferrarigo** · 22nd July 2011, 10:09

Does anyone know how many experimental tires we get? And if we get to use them in any other practice sessions?

**zeus2** · 22nd July 2011, 10:09

Feels weird saying this but mclaren seriously need to pick up their game if we are to have any chance at the title.

**Kyss4k** · 22nd July 2011, 10:12

Schumi just wanted to be closer to the fans

**Mr Alcatraz** · 22nd July 2011, 10:14

What's up with live timing that thing haqs had problems all season? Can't see Chandok times or time left in the session!

**Hombre B** · 22nd July 2011, 10:15

**tifosi_kaka** · 22nd July 2011, 10:15

Actually Fernando has a slow S2 on his fastest lap, two tenths down on his personal best S2 (which is also the best for the session). So expect the gap to be 1 to 2 tenths larger than now.

**F2008** · 22nd July 2011, 10:15

Good job by the Ferrari engineers! Ferrari should be quick right from the start in 2012 if they can keep the momentum going.

**Rishu** · 22nd July 2011, 10:15

Alonso quicker in all three sectors, which is another good sign

really? nice. but then again, i doubt it will be dry tomorrow and sunday.

**Sempre_Ferrari** · 22nd July 2011, 10:18

Alonso back out on exp softs

**Kyss4k** · 22nd July 2011, 10:23

The start will be interesting here. So much lockups in the Castrol today.

**Forzi** · 22nd July 2011, 10:26

Quite a lot of changes are being done on Felipes car.

**zeus2** · 22nd July 2011, 10:27

Weird lap from Alonso equalled his best in sec 1&2 but really slow in sec 3. I think there is a lot more laptime to come though, maybe something in the 1.29s.

InsideFerrari :The change on Felipe's car requested more time than expected

**scuderiafan** · 22nd July 2011, 10:28

BBC F1 pit-lane reporter Ted Kravitz: "Ferrari have further refinements to their exhaust and diffuser in Germany, and it's believed they have a new front wing, even if it hasn't made an appearance in first practice. This is standard operating procedure for Ferrari, who like to establish a baseline and do their aero set-up in first practice, before experimenting with their new bits later on Friday afternoon."
