Option tire + low-downforce track for sure, but still....wha?

It's hard to know in testing, everyone is running a completely different thing. They might've had just a little fuel in there, while Hamilton was running with a full tank and ended up P3.

Precisely. It doesn't actually mean anything, but at the same time, it means a little something, right?

Ha, I suppose. I don't think he'll be winning any races but at least it shows he's maybe got pace sometimes.

Maybe if he does good on his time sheet this practice session, daddy will buy him a new seat at a better team!

Pic was also showing good times, so I'm really more interested in how it relates to Marussia's success and if the updates they brought may have actually brought some pace.

lol at your second line

Personally, out of the 2 teams I'm watching Lotus more closely. Even if Marussia's pace is better, I doubt it'll be enough to really make much of an impact. Lotus on the other hand was showing somewhat decent pace on Sunday, Grosjean did pretty well (considering where they were at a few weeks ago), so maybe they could be coming back to form from last year.

It was indeed nice to see Lotus regain some form this weekend. Interested to see if that keeps up, along with Williams' sustained performance.

I think Williams is seriously on to something this season. I think/hope they can win some races, both Bottas and Massa.
