Alonso and Massa practice...P3 was very interesting.<br />Alonso and Massa practiced slipstreaming each other in order to get a better one lap time, and Alonso set his best time on the hard tyre.<br />In actual qualifying, I think this can only work to the benefit of one driver, and co-ordinating it for both during the melee would be impossible. Clearly that's not a difficult decision for Ferrari. <br />(Though of course, it does require Massa getting through to Q3.) <br /> :-)<br /><br /><br />This is just enough of a wildcard for me not to be tempted by the odds on Hamilton, especially since I have existing race bets on Hamilton at 4.3 and Button at 7.4.Nigelnoreply@blogger.com
