Just the two Ferrari drivers yet to go out.

Honda are sporting a 'shark fin' engine cover and it seems that Ferrari will be trying it today as well

More than 30 minutes into the session and Barrichello is on the track again and it looks like he will be going for a run. He is running the softer compound tyres

A 1:34.220 for Barrichello. That is pretty slow but as always the track is very dirty on the first day with not much grip at all

Button on the track
