Bahrain – Friday Practice 2

by Terry Saunders on 24/04/2009

Isn’t this just getting a little embarrassing for Rosberg and Williams? Yet again another top of the timesheets in a way that always fails to convert to quali or race pace.

We’re starting to wonder if the other teams go slow on purpose in some big practical joke. “aha, nico, you weren’t fastest at all – wankerrrr”

Conversely Alonso spent the whole practice dead last, making Piquet believe for a precious few minutes that maybe he was good after all, but then Fernando blitzed round in a 1:33 and Nelson knew he was totally fucked
