Well thats debatable.

If the Barca spec exhaust is so good, why didnt they run it in Melbourne? I have e feeling that RBR still doesnt have their exhausts solution nailed dawn, and that Mclaren and Mercedes definitely have the jump on them in that department

They must be using this session as an extended test, as track conditions will change massively over the next couple days

He has trouble off the line, we all know that.

New clutch or old.

let's be frank- you could cut a faster 60 foot time in a Smart car running on 1 cylinder than Webber usually manages in an F1 car

Never a more accurate word spoken.

Post Race after Melb was something along the lines of "gotta look at the start, not sure if it was the car or me"

LOL... We all know the answer.

Raikkonen gets five-place grid penalty in the Malaysian Grand Prix

Kimi Raikkonen is to lose five places on the grid for the Malaysian Grand Prix after a gearbox change following the second free practice.

Shortly after the session concluded, Lotus wrote on Twitter that an issue with the Finn's gearbox meant it would be changed before the start of the third and final practice session.

The team confirmed the change to AUTOSPORT, meaning Raikkonen looks set to lose five places.The problem arose after Raikkonen went off the track during the Australian Grand Prix,

where his radiator was filled with grass clippings, thus overheating the gearbox during the race.

A post-race analysis showed the gearbox's bearing cage had started to fail and so the team has been forced to replace it as it was unsure it would last another race distance.

The change follows an unhappy qualifying session in Australia, when the Finn failed to make it out of Q1 when he backed off a flying lap in the mistaken belief he had time to make it to the line before the chequered flag came out.

After a disappointing weekend in Australia, Felipe Massa was more upbeat after Friday's practice in which he used a new chassis.

"I started in the morning with a completely different car and it felt good," Massa told reporters.

"The car is more normal, so we can be more competitive here compared to [Fernando] Alonso."

lets be honest, ^ that"s going to be irrelevant when it rains.

Kimi might be my pick for gaining most spots this race.
