Bourdais shouldn't be quickest! :shock: It makes no sense at all. There must be something wrong with the timing apparatus. :lol:
Lewis Hamilton & Jenson Button World Champions :)

That time from Bourdais is stunning. Vettel has been quick in the Toro Rosso and perhaps finally Bourdais has found the zone. He is under a lot of pressure!
