Well just finished watching practice. From the looks of it, this season is going to be very interesting.
It looks like the McLarens really are as slow as they showed in testing - if you believe what see on Friday.
Heidfeld is using KERS, and Kubica isn't. That is rather interesting.
Qualifying should be a lot of fun tomorrow morning!

I wonder if McLaren is sandbagging? From the looks of it I don't think so - but all will of course be revealed in qualifying...

Kubica said the same thing. "This doesn't even feel like our car." His comment on the radio that was broadcast on TV.
However, the track was extremely dirty for both sessions.

I'm afraid though that the car just isn't that good.

So, Brawn GP will become Brawn Virgin GP tomorrow?
