Chinese GP 2013 - Friday and Saturday free practice

[Rishu]

Sauber, Red Bull discarded their new rear wings, Ferrari are running new front wing on both cars. Correlation should be good

[eugene22n]

I agree with Sky ... not sure why Ferrari are working on Alonso's car so late in P3. Need to get going for Q prep.

[SinanOzerS]

Fernando is out on the circuit,finally.

Almost a sec off the pace on mediums

[eugene22n]

Behind Mercedes and Red Bull on prime pace as in the previous practices.

[fronaldo]

we not good in mediums

[Hornet]

we not good in mediums

This would be a problem because mediums is the tires to be on during race

[SinanOzerS]

"Massa reports oversteer, will box now to decrease front wing angle"

[Rob]

we not good in mediums

so from yesterday when everyone saying we look good on them all of the sudden everyone turns, again.


(we got more fuel, as we started our running later, let the team run the programmes for FP3, we dont know what they doing. Could be race sim, as that the most important)

Behind Mercedes and Red Bull on prime pace as in the previous practices.

But to be so far off the pace is disheartening

[eugene22n]

I think we look good on deg on both tires but are a bit behind those two teams on single lap prime pace.

[anuragiyer8989]

This would be a problem because mediums is the tires to be on during race

I don't think so. That's just a single lap pace. Over a long run we are good on mediums. We do not know the fuel loads as well. Maybe mercs are running lighter and we all know what the fools do.

[f300v10]

Alonso's pace on the Mediums basically matching the RedBulls. Slower in S1, same in S2, faster in S3.

[eugene22n]

alonso quickly back out on track

[OSS EL BOSS]

we used the old fw in FP2 and we were fast, now they have new one on and i think they will have to change to the old again before qualifying because the balance does not look good

[f300v10]

BBC claiming Ferrari running new exhausts. Perhaps a change in diameter or angle of the exhaust pipes, but the coanda ramps look the same to me.

[SinanOzerS]

Felipe on soft tyres.

[fronaldo]

for a single pace run..mediums not so good but i believe on long runs mediums is good..

[SinanOzerS]

Lewis 1:36:065 on softs.Not a super fast lap,Felipe did 1:35:4 yesterday.

[vcs316]

10 mins to go, we have to do some quali runs nowww

[SoumyaBanerjee]

we used the old fw in FP2 and we were fast, now they have new one on and i think they will have to change to the old again before qualifying because the balance does not look good

I think so too...

[anuragiyer8989]

Both reds out now

[eugene22n]

Massa's been real good on the options. Let see if he can pull another lap out.

[SinanOzerS]

1:35:391 ALONSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[vcs316]

Alonso 1:35.391 !!!!

[anuragiyer8989]

Fernando!!!!!!

[albert]

[vcs316]

[Kyss4k]

Nice lap from Alonso. Compared to what others are doing. Nice.

[eugene22n]
