Yes, as the testing report tells. And you wouldn't find any other sensible explanation for that time anyway. Testing times don't mean so much. It's the long runs that matter, not the show off laps.

thanks. yeah, they should release the ten best times or a stint eg Laps completed: 43, overall time: 23 mins 45. 345 secs, average= xxxxx- not counting laps with errors, which would give a clearer picture

strange how lewis set his best lap so early on in the session- did they do a few quick laps and then try a different set-up or something.

The best comparision we all could get is when all the teams come back to the 2008 specs along with the updates they have introduced. Certainly the fuel load will vary but still it will be much easier to compare.

Second spy case in one year ? Somethings wrong at Maranello, but it would be copied by other teams anyway if it proves to be a reliabale thing. F1 history has already showed that.

yeah that too, but i was talking about tne all f1 history, when a team discovers some thing good it`s a matter of time to be copied or/and improved by others.
