Ferrari on top at the Friday Practice 2 on Melbourne...

[veilsidebr]

Ferrari´s drivers Schumacher and Barrichello set the fastest laps on Melbourne on this first free practice. Schummy set a lap of 1:25.127 and Barrichello stayed near his back on the time 1:25.361.

Third and fourth places were taken for Trulli and Coulthard. Trulli lap time was 1:27.025 and Coulthard got a lap on 1:27.264.

I Guess that on qualify sessions Montoya will be the first. On this friday practice he stayed on the sixth place ahead his team-mate Ralf Schumacher, that got a seventh place.

Well let´s see tomorrow who´ll take the pole position

:D

Holy shit,

something will go wrong this season :shock:
Assuming the track is unaltered since 2003 laptimes are down already:
2003 pole at Albert Park was Michael Schumacher with 1'27.173

Looks like Ferrari is flying. Rubens would have got a 1.24 if he wasnt redflaged.

And this is ottaly insane. 2sec over the last years pole!!!!!Lots of fuel or no fuel thats still a shit load of time!

A bit lower engine hp, but still MUCH fastter????? Must be tyres again!

Fearing of seeing another Ferrari - season...

[noosee]

Huge difference in practice times :)
It seems like Ferrari is ready for the season :D

any news on the radical front wing?

I heard they would be introducing it at melbourne, but it seems just a little late.

Perhaps just not necessary from the way the practice went

micheal is going to wipe the floor with all the others asses.. again :mrgreen:

[stracing]

I fear Bridgestone found the good way for its tyres ! And Ferrari obviously didn't rest on his laurels ! I'm not "against" Ferrari but i hoped the battle to be rude, of course the we is not finished and it's only the first race but I hope this season will not be like the 2002 one because it's going to be boring !! Waiting for the qualifying session but i don't have a lot of illusions :(

Either the tyres are aero. But the other Bridgestone teams are on the bottom. So I don't know.

Damn, 2 Seconds is a shit load of time though. . . and no one is even close to them.

Man, this is exciting.

Well on this friday second practice schummy did his lap time on the house of low´s 1:24 and Barrichello did the same on the highs 1:24.....i´m surprised on seeing Button and sato on the fifth and sixth places. BAR is going fast...let´s see on the qualifying their fast.... :D

SWEAT!!!

What's the weather doing in Melbourne, it could be in favor of the Bridgestones?
Last year the difference between Ferrari and the runner-up Bridgestone was also appr. 1.5 sec.

I dont think the engine performance dropt this year but equals last years performance.
