All of which are moves that are unnecessary and the weaving bit was done before at a previous event. ...
So the best Alonso can hope for is 9th on the grid :shock:
Alonso was absolutely stunning at the start of the Hungarian GP last year. He will win it. Trust me!

but what if someone won't move over for him ? Think of how much time he will lose, brake testing them, when he does get past :shock:

10 minutes into the Saturday practice session and Alonso and Yamamoto have set lap times.

Alonso is out early and that is mainly due to the penalty he will take in qualifying. He is probably trying out different fuel loads so they can play with the strategy.

Ed,
How does Alonso's penalty work exactly. Is he able to do two quick laps in each segment of qualfying then effectively use the slower of the two laps as the time penalty is only applied to his fastest lap?

I don't think it works that way. I think they will add 2 second to his best time for each session he takes part in. Otherwise they would have said they'll delete his best or two best times.

This hasn't happened before so we'll see!

Klien second ahead of Button and Coulthard.

From Alonso's times, it appears he is doing low fuel runs.
