EDIT
Some of the sites have conflicting number of laps that the drivers completed but the order is the same.

No surprise alonso was fastest, he had the most opportunity to set the fastest laptime

Nice to see Piquet in the top 3

I think it was an honest mistake as the track was slippery and went into too deep.

The new McLaren seems quite reliable - heard on the news that Alostronzo has done over 200 laps without a single mechanical problem

Yes, it does seem that way. However, pre-season testing is often an unreliable indicator of actual race performance. In fact, it is almost never reliable.

Agree but pedro did have an engine failure yesterday albeit with en engine that had already completed 1100km.

Thats wat I was worried about with the Spyker, its very a dark tint of Orange and without much light it does seem to look red... :bah:

Hamilton and Kubica are fast!
