2008 Chinese F1 GP - Saturday Practice
Nick Heidfeld was the quickest driver in the morning practice, Kubica 3d, that BMW looks fast. Hamilton split the 2 BMWs with 2nd fastest time. Both Ferraris were rather low in this session as was Fernando Alonso. We will see in 2 hours whether these were cases of sandbagging or problems with the pace.
Lewis Hamilton in this practice ran wide at the pitlane entry, 2007 Shanghai deja vu
. Mark Webber’s engine blew up and he already used up his joker it looks like 10 place penalty for the Red Bull driver.
