    Quite a few out on track but no lap times - well if you count 13 of 29 as quite a few.

    I'm watching live timing on one computer and on wireless internet on my laptop on FChat. Some dude named Sutil is in third; Vettel in fourth. <38 minutes remaining in session and I wouldn't be surprised to see Vettel on top before the session is complete. Alonso has been out but no lap time recorded - he had a 71.2 S2 time compared to 48.3 for Davidson! wonder what he's testing out for such a great difference? His S3 time was 33.1 compared to 22.4 for Davidson.
    No MS on track yet.

    <27 minutes and neither Ferrari, Toyota nor Button have been on the track. Only 7 with complete lap times.

    Session over - no Ferraris which I figured wouldn't be out - all part of the mental games. Top three are Davidson, Jani, Vettel.

    P2 underway. It's midnight for me and the alarm dings at 4:00 - what you call a short night!

    They are still showing that the track has been declared wet this session even though the rain subsided at the end of P1. I suspect we will see Ferrari out during this one.

    I just started watching the session. Bon Varsha said that Sato was disqualified from the last race. I am wondering what could Sato have done? Get off of the dry line?, get of the track? I am not a Sato fan, but it seems he was just in the way and everyone should have gone around him.

    I was wondering what should he have done, pull over to the right and
    slow down, or just go off track?

    pulled off the wry line and give way. he wasnt even close to any one else so he wouldnt have given up a spot by doing so.

    It's Bob . . .

    Fisi just set fastest S1 and S2 and goes to the top of the chart. Still 30 minutes to go.

    Yes, sorry, its Bob.. The announcers sure gave us a different prospective on what Alonso said.
