Australian GP – An afternoon of study on Friday at Melbourne

Melbourne, 25 March

The Ferraris of Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa set the third and seventh fastest times during the second session of free practice for the Australian Grand Prix. Sunday’s race round the Albert Park circuit marks the start of the Formula 1 world championship. Jenson Button’s McLaren set the day’s best time with 1.25.854, ahead of the sister car of team-mate Lewis Hamilton (1.25.986) and the 150° Italia of Fernando Alonso (1.26.001). The other Ferrari, driven by Massa, was seventh in 1.26.789 after 34 laps.

In this afternoon session the team concentrated on set-up work on both the tyre compounds – hard and soft – with different fuel levels, along with some aerodynamic tests. Only a minor problem that was quickly resolved stopped Fernando for ten minutes.

The final hour of free testing will take place tomorrow at 1400 local time, before the decisive qualifying session that begins at 1700 local time.
