2013 season Formula 1 Australian GP Practice 1 is finished, Red Bull is showing good pace right from the start with Vettel on top of the time sheet, Ferrari is also quick around the Albert Park circuit this morning with Massa and Alonso posting second and third fastest time. Solid start for Mercedes with Hamilton the forth fastest man with his debut with the team and the new W04. Disappointing start for McLaren with Button and Perez P9 and P11 respectively. Practice 2 at 1:30PM after the lunch break, stay tuned!
Practice 2
So here we concludes the Friday practice of the Australian GP with Vettel and Webber showing strong pace for the Red Bull boys on the afternoon session today, Rosberg comes third before coming to a stop few mins before end of the session due to a gearbox problem. Raikkonen and Grosjean of Lotus post the 4th and 5th fastest time followed by Alonso.
Hamilton seems to have a good pace to challenge Vettel but a problem with the front part of the floor of the car, which had caused him to lose grip and go off by the end of the session with 7th fastest time. McLaren seem to be struggling with their new MP4-28 which confirmed by their 11th and 13th fastest time by Button and Perez. Interesting development from the back of the field which Marussia looks faster than their rival Catarham and Bianchi only three-tenth slower than Bottas from Williams.
