Final Practice
Why ITV does not show this session I don’t know, but looking at the timing screen it’s a strange layout in the times.
David Coulthard and Mark Webber where on track, and both finished the session, so it looks like the car has been cleared for qualifying at least.
The BMW in the hands of Nick Heidfeld is looking racey again (at least on one lap), the Ferrari’s are both there in the times, as is the Toyota of Trulli.
Piquet did a decent enough time, so perhaps he is settling into the sport, and Button looks good in the Honda.
The top 11 drivers were inside a second of each other on this session, and some of the drivers will have no doubt been working on race configurations for the wet weather that is forcast.
Qualifying should be interesting.

Australia practice 2
It looked for a long time that the local boy Mark Webber was going to set the fastest session time in the Red Bull, however it was not to be, as Lewis came out towards the end of the session and smashed the time Webber set by nearly a second.
Again we saw quite a few of the drivers having moment’s as they tried to work out where the edge of the envelope was.
Trulli was the biggest looser in this session, loosing the back of the car during braking by touching the grass and parking the car in the sand. However there was also a big spin from Felipe.
Behind Lewis and Mark, was Felipe, Heikki, Coulthard, Raikkonen, Trulli, Rosberg, Fisichella and Glock with the tenth placed Glock just over 2 seconds slower than Lewis.
Sebastian Bordais seemed like he is still getting used to turning right instead of left, as he finished the session third last in front of the two Super Aguri cars.
