On different tyres. HAM didn´t finish a quick one on the option.

My post was when they were both on the same tyres. ROS has looked the quickest drivers on both tyres (up to when Lewis aborted his flying lap).

Seems like the Mercs are slightly struggling, just like the rest of the field, with the change in track conditions; Lewis did a 1:25.5 yesterday, and best ROS could do was a 1:25.9 today...

Mercs have not been pushing at all, they have bags of time in hand. Conditions are a little worse, yes,but I fully expect Ham-Ros at least a second and half in front in qually.

Looks like they were too busy trying their new sponsor's products during first break

Mclaren looks awful to drive, plus their car has very narrow working window on any tyre compound possible. Teams are not satisfied with Pirelli's decision to bring medium and hard compound to Barcelona.

Massa is much more comfortable with new parts on his Williams than Bottas.

To be fair to Bottas, Massa has had two more practice sessions with the new parts.

Button said in the middle of FP3 that they have "minimal rear downforce which will make the afternoon hard". I wouldn't expect either car to get into Q3 as the track temperature goes up.

Ros only barely managed to beat his own time from yesterday, so he was still faster than yesterday, just still not as fast as Ham yesterday. Lewis for pole.

vettel with the fire extinguisher lol.

Tracked changed, though. Affected all cars. Sticking with current track conditions, ROS seems unbeatable. We will see in 1 hour I guess...

Woo Eddie Jordan.

This Senna tribute on BBC is great.

 

[Ve1ocity]

Eddie! <3

 

[Nicktendo86]

Nice senna piece

 

[massivekettle]

Given the lack of sponsors, McLaren should at least put the name of the drivers on their overalls, like Toro Rosso do, or even McLaren used to do 10 years ago ("Juan Pablo", "Kimi")

 

[Pizza Luigi]

Embarrassing.

 

[Ruruja]

Crashtor Maldonado.

 

[brotkasten]

The Lotus finally improves by a good margin and Maldonado ruins all.

 

[Ryne]

Your 2012 Spanish GP winner, Pastor Maldonado

 

[DrM]

He knew that car is on the edge of slipping, but nope, he kept on pushing through that corner.

 

[Yen]

Of course.

 

[Tempy]

Driver error~

 

[Nicktendo86]

No wonder lotus can't afford to pay for their engines, the cost of the spare parts they must have to keep on hand for Maldonado could probably send me to the moon.

 

[MrKaepora]

 

[malyce]

Driver error~

On purpose

 

[SunhiLegend]

 

[TCRS]

:lol

the spare parts probably cost more than he brings in with his sponsorship money.

 

[Tugatrix]

Crashtor Maldonado.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Maldonado is beyond a joke

 

[frontieruk]

Pastor on radio... "i lost it"

Grosjean is not fault of the car
