Trulli is so light on fuel. He was 3 seconds faster than Glock.

I expected Ferrari to do well on this type of circuit.
I'm hoping they (Ferrari) are running light too.....but I doubt it. Massa may have the least amount of fuel of the front runners, so expect him to try to get away at the start & attempt to build a lead. One never knows with Kimi, he is quick heavy or light.
As for BMW, this does not seem like their kind of track.
McLaren better pray for rain.

you guys think Massa spun out cause of no traction control ? It seemed like he expected the tail to rebound but it just kept on going.....

Massa is so overrated. He had these same incidents last year, even with traction control.

Yes he is fast, but very very inconsistent.

He goes off the circuit often, many times last year and 1st/2nd races of this year. He is also very easily baited into mistakes.

+1 If you think that's bad, wait until you see him in the wet without TC.....it should be comical. He is a big baby, complete with a lisp.
