Weather: Air temp 15, Track temp 23, Humidity 53%, Wind 6.7 mps, Dry
2008 Best: F Massa (Ferrari) 1'19.575
Notes: Strong winds affected several teams during the 90m session. Unofficially I
counted 15 changes at the top of the timesheets, with the two Red Bull drivers
ending well clear of the two Brawns. Very few incidents of note, although several
drivers went wide - possibly due to the wind - Nelson Piquet, inevitably, had a
couple of spins. Only three KERS-equiped cars today, the two Ferraris and
Kovalainen's McLaren.
Most attention was off-track with Max & Bernie meeting in "Bernie's bus".

Weather: Air temp 17, Track temp 28, Humidity 48%, Wind 5.3 mps, Dry
2008 Best: H Kovalainen (McLaren) 1'19.989
Notes: An even windier session than this morning (at times over 9 mps) again saw
several incidents with drivers leaving the track. The only one that seemed serious
came with about 6 min. remaining, when Mark Webber ran wide at Becketts, hitting
the kerb on exit, which caused his engine to cut out and forced him to park at
Stowe. Robert Kubica also had an eventful session, with the team spotting low oil
pressures and doing an express engine change to get him back out with 45m left.
Adrian Sutil finished third for Force India. Brawn were having what seem to be
regular Friday troubles. Both Ferraris were slower than a Toro Rosso.

half of the hour. Sebastian Vettel failed to set a lap time until 44m had passed.
No significant incidents.

and KUB's was replaced during P2 - was that another engine?).
