Ricciardo 7th in 2nd practice session - not too shabby and let's hope Webber can take it to Vettel as he should have nothing to lose!!

Overload of motorsport's this weekend, I like it, Hope Webber can do something good before he retire's.

Missed qualifying today but terrific result though!

I see Massa finished ahead of Alonso - must be trying to impress the lotus team boss

Vettel had a KERS problem is why apparently, Maybe they put Mark's KERS in Seb's car by mistake , Love Karma at time's.

About time a Redbull failed technical component favoured Webber

[crikey]

Both RB had bad start's, But at least Webber is in front of golden ball's until the first stop

I was going to say on Friday watch out for Grosjean to be the darkhorse. Under cut I reckon for Webber, can afford to do a few more laps. If Vettel pits first, that will be a cruel blow to Webber.

[Bundy]

This 1st pit stop might not be enough for Webber.

It's just not happening for Webber. Vettel is practically unbeatable.

Very true , It's like the perfect storm, He is at the right age in the right team with maximum talent, Pity he is a tool though

Let's hope DR can shake him up a bit next year.
