This is the last practice session before the start of the first formula one qualifying this evening (Local time). The session dominated by Ferrari team as Felipe Massa dominated the session until Fernando Alonso snatch it at the end of the session. Fernando Alonso set the fastest time of the circuit so far by clocking 1:54.099, more than a second faster than Rosberg time yesterday. Second fastest goes to Nico Rosberg trailing by 0.269 second. Third is Mark Webber by 0.401 second adrift of Alonso fastest time.
Michael Schumacher clocked the fourth fastest time followed by fellow German, Sebastian Vettel. Felipe Massa that dominated the session most of the time are relegated to sixth.
At the other end of the circuit today, we see a lot of discussion going on about the tyre degradation. Hamilton reportedly wreck his tyre yesterday after just setting up 4 laps. Maybe the introduction of the new rule doesn't suits his driving style. Turn six still is the major set-up problem of the circuit. a lot of driver has been struggling to find the right set-up of the circuit.
At the bottom of the circuit saw Karun Chandhok still didn't roll his car, and he will not be allowed to join the qualifying later in the day. so game over for him. And for the first time, Virgin Racing has posted faster lap time than their arch rival, Team Lotus whereby Timo Glock has been faster than two Lotuses driver.
But even after three practice, we still didn't have a clear picture of what the race and quali should look like. We knew that Ferrari has a nice package and here they are setting the fastest time of the day so far.
