I'm really impressed by Redbull, actually Adrian Newey to be more specific. He has now developed what I can only call a "Double Floor". It's pretty brilliant, and will definitely generate significantly more downforce in conjunction with the rear beam wing. I'm sure everyone else on the paddock will be thinking up a storm how they can apply Newey's new idea for their car.

Some pics of said floor:

well done Vettel!

I managed to fall asleep after the beginning of P1 and woke up in the middle of P2,..great track,great drivers,...but somehow this years season has something missing that last year was predominant..the ongoing battles between 2 or more rivalries,..forth and back
now it`s all mixed up...with performances being anything but consistant

I really hope this years race is better than it usually is.

Would love to see 8 from 8.

I am still of the belief that Adrian Newey is far more important to Red Bull Racing than either of their two drivers. The man is a genius.

Vettel was purple in sectors 1 and 2 before going into the pits after the session ended, and with Webber having brake issues causing him to miss most of FP3...I'd say that the Red Bulls didn't show their strength in the session. I don't know what to think of the Force Indias looking so well in more than one practice session, it doesn't look like a fluke that they're quite strong here. Schumacher was struggling badly in FP3 unfortunately.

I don't think Ferrari showed their hand either, well at least I hope not.
