Friday practice sessions completed and the form books have been tossd out of the window. Rosberg, Barrichello, Trulli, Webber, Button comprise the top 5 and now to the biggest surprise of all - Ferrari, McLaren, BMW and Renault all outside the top 10. We have learned over the last couple of seasons that Friday form is normally nothing to go by, but these are the same guys who have been heading the winter testing times as well, so it is definitely something for us to look at.
In my view, the first couple of races will be anyone's game, with the European races bringing us normal trend for the rest of the season. Apart from the Ferrari's, who were quite quick in the morning, the other 3 top teams definitely do seem to be struggling with the grip levels.
However, as mentioned before this is just Friday testing and qualifying looks to be a real cracker of a session tomorrow. Expect a lot of surprises tomorrow. Sunday;s race should be interesting as tyre degaradatio will come into play. Remember this years Australian GP will start at 5pm instead of the normal 2pm, thereby the track temperatures not being as hot as they normally are.
After qualifying it might be easier to pick a winner fo sunday, but if you ask me right now, I will say it will be between Rosberg, Barrichello and Raikkonen for the victory. Yes that is Barrichello and not Button that I have picked because I honestly believe he is the better driver out of the two, just marginally.
Till tomorrow..
