It has not needed more than a session to return at your own pace. Sebastian Vettel has become, in every way, although only a thousandth ahead of Michael Schumacher. It must be said that, although the Red Bull is intractable, Mercedes has been today at a very high level. In fact, after Schumacher, we have to Mark Webber and Nico Rosberg.
But there is a remarkable thing, and is that Vettel and Schumacher are four tenths ahead of its rivals, which is a world, but we must also bear in mind that Vettel has found a Hispania in the drawn on his lap, and perhaps would have been able to make a time even something better.
After the Red Bull and Mercedes are the two McLaren's Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button, followed by a Vitaly Petrov which continues to demonstrate their quality, and Fernando Alonso, eighth, just ahead of his teammate, Felipe Massahas ended his session early due to some problems with the engine.
Fernando, for its part, has not left to track to last half an hour since the beginning of the session. Half of this session, lost, and I lost because the faces in the Scuderia were a poem. Some problem has existed in the seat of the Asturian language, and this is worrying, the hydraulic problems yesterday.
In addition, 10 minutes to the end of the meeting, more hydraulic problems have been reproduced in the Ferrari 150 ? Italy Alonso, and their meeting over at that time, not to return to track. Week-end complicated, therefore for the Ferrari number five, which already suffered hydraulic problems in yesterday.
As for Jaime Alguersuari, has suffered a departure from runway, caused by mechanical problems to 37 minutes for the end of the session, and it has lost about 20 minutes of meeting. A penalty for the pilot of Catalan, although it has at least not been without leaving to track in this third third free practice session, which is what seemed at first.
In the end, Jaime has been 17th, ahead of Kamui Kobayashi and six cars of the three new teams of the past year, and it is that they are still far away. Even Team Lotus, which appeared to take, during the offseason, following a second nearest car, and that is, today, still a world.
Finally, what of the Hispania? They have occupied their usual vigesimotercera and 24th position, but Liuzzi is only two-tenths of Timo Glock. Bearing in mind that D'Ambrosio will emerge from the last position after receiving a penalty, if Liuzzi exceeds Glock, it could leave the 23rd position.
