Weather: Air 36, Track 48, Humidity 10%, Dry (windy)
Notes: Changing track conditions - especially higher track temperatures and wind,
made it difficult to 'read' the session. Räikkönen spent most of the session on
longer runs. Problems included Massa (wild spin), Trulli (spun into gravel trap),
and several others.
Red Bull had a strong session, but Webber has warned fans that it's not likely
to continue when qualifying starts. Kimi was not very happy with his team's
performance. Toyota looked quite strong, as did Force India (or ar least Fisi).
Honda DO seem to have improved since the last major test.
Last year times came down to the 1m 25s bracket during Saturday, so some teams
may well have something in reserve for tomorrow.
