Kimi with a "modest" .5 second cushion and alas Honda's gap to the sharp end of the grid is measured in multiple seconds...but Jens did have a whopping .1 second margin on the faster for the Force India squad.

 

BMW... They have let me down

 

^^They've stated publically they won't have much to bring in the first part of the season.


Also, how is Vettel in 9th and 14th place?

 

Wish I had known that before I picked them to win the constructor championship.

 

Here is the practice 2 results:

Honda isn't doing too bad in relation to the Barcelona tests. We'll see how everything pans out tonight.

 

HA! I was watching the DVR'ed qualifying, BMW is on top of the charts for that mornings practice!!
