Aww darn it, mad at myself for missing this one….

Any possibility of taking up as a reserve, in case anyone feels like not doing it any longer? (pwease)

Ingram tops only Dry Session of the Weekend
Championship leader William Ingram took the fastest time in the second practice session, run in conditions completely different to the first. Just as first practice ended the rain stopped and the track dried sufficiently without further rainfall in time for FP2. The two Red Bull’s and Lotuses followed up with Mathershaw’s Ferrari 6th and home favourite Chan in 7th for Sauber. Bomeny could only manage 13th in the second Ferrari while the morning session’s fastest men, Butch Coolidge and Tom Robson could only manage 15th and 17th respectively. Alfie Widger of McLaren struggled massively with handling problems during the session, only managing 20th place.

@brazil2007 – Except now you’re in a Caterham, so if you win… Wow :L

@bradley13 Yes, quite.

I know this is a long way off, but how are driver transfers going to work next season? Is it going to be based on championship position? Because, if so, then we won’t see much change in lineup.

Out in Qualifying 1
18th – Andae d’Hazorme (Caterham) – 1:48.328
19th – Bull Frog (Marussia) – 1:48.783
20th – Matthjis Hofman (HRT) – 1:49.104
21st – Kevin Cucamest (Toro Rosso) – 1:49.209
22nd – Oli Peacock (Marussia) – 1:49.246
23rd – Nicholas Sunderland (Caterham) – 1:49.462
24th – Téa Kirkham (HRT) – 1:50.001

In a difficult session, the usual contenders were the first to fall. Oli Peacock in particular was looking strong early on, until a mistake at the penultimate turn lost him a good second or so on his final run.

I’d love to advance into Q3

Out in Qualifying 2
11th – Tom Robson (Mercedes) – 1:47.313
12th – Felipe Bomeny (Ferrari) – 1:47.472
13th – Kaz Armos (Force India) – 1:47.558
14th – Ben Haddleton (Force India) – 1:47.606
15th – Nic Morley (Williams) – 1:47.838
16th – Ben Needham (Toro Rosso) – 1:47.896
17th – Alfie Widger (McLaren) – 1:48.015

In a shocking turn of events, we see both Felipe Bomeny and Alfie Widger out in Q2. Bomeny looked confident in the early stages, but couldn’t quite improve enough to enable a top 10 result. Alfie seemed to struggle for the entirety of Q2, complaining of a lack of grip, caused by low temperatures in the tyres. Tom Robson narrowly misses out in Q3 once again, as the Force Indias improve upon their practice times to finish 13th and 14th.
