To me the Friday was quite surprising as they can choose the fuel levels themselves for this quali....

It COULD be tactics from McLaren and Williams as the starting order for Saturday's qualifying is of course reverse order of this list and Barcelona is renown for getting slower when the temperatures go up...

So basically, the earlier you do you quali run, the more chance you have of going fast although there will be less rubber on the track in the beginning and that is also a MAJOR issue there.

Let's see what tomorrow bring.

Anyway, thumbs up for Trulli! That guy deserves a win by now (IMHO).

Andreas, thanks for posting the result. I'll just watch the replay later. But I'm glad so far...the Mclaren team is trailing.

Tom, I understand MS had a good "pit stop" strategy w/c contributed to his victory at Imola.
But you're right about the uncertainties.

what is tough is you don't know the fuel situation, though its going to be hot and tire wear is an issue so prob better to have lighter load since you will come in for tires anyway
