Brawn Racing- Jenson Button
McLaren- Lewis Hamilton
Williams- Nico Rosberg
Renault- Fernando Alonso

Is anybody else struggling to be convinced that once practice is over and qualifying starts, Ferrari aren't going to miraculously leap to the top of the team sheets? Might just be paranoia. I'd love to see some new faces at the front, I just hope it happens.

I'm yet to be convinced McLaren wont do it, let alone Ferarri.

Like you, I'd like to see Brawn, Williams, et al towards the top of the sheets, but I just get the impression there's a lot of sandbagging going on, even now.

Friday morning practice is a time for trying out different setups on the car, practicising how it goes in race conditions etc.

Saturday morning practice is more of an indicator of genuine pace as the cars are normally set up as they would be for qualifying.

2009 rule changes FFS. I'll be back to test you later.

Heiki and Hamilton came 17th and 18th in Friday practice. Rosberg 1st and Barrichello 2nd. IMO F1 will be a lot closer than last year and there could be some surprise results.
