Remember that time Ferrari changed Massa's gearbox at the American GP and incurred a grid drop so that Alonso would go up a place on the grid and switch to the better side of the track?

The latter end of the season was glorious... then vettel won... because senna couldn't finish the job when he had the shot :(

No, it's because Massa needed a new gearbox,I'm sure of it.

Possible penalty for Max, Rosberg's weekend so far...

17:25 Mercedes has opted to hand Lewis Hamilton a third fresh power unit going into this final practice session. With the team introducing an upgraded system coming into this weekend - using five of its engine development tokens in doing so - Hamilton was given two new PUs yesterday, with Nico Rosberg one. In receiving an eighth MGU-H and turbocharger, and sixth MGU-K and internal combustion engine today, it means a further 25-place penalty, but meaningless as Hamilton can drop no further back than the final row of the grid
Ian Parkes


So I guess Mercedes are doing what was suggested earlier in the thread.

Is there any reason for Lewis to do qualifying now?

If the interesting free practice = crap race/ crap free practice = interesting race rule is still in effect we sure are in for a good one.

Sky suggested he'd make an appearance in Q1 then park it.

In free practice 3 the team asked him to drive to a 1:55 delta and he was bang on target.

Seems like everything will be on Sunday for Hamilton.

Given "random grid orders, lol! Make the best teams start at the back!" was one of the dumb Bernie ideas, I doubt there'll be any traction against Mercedes deliberately starting poois from the rear.

Watch as Nico gets overconfident that Lewis is at the back of the grid and bins it into a Redbull.

Dunno if I agree with sky there, sounds like a good plan for Red Bull to get the very lovely tyre out of the way at the start - then you have more control over the race tyre when you are lighter on fuel. Also rain is forcast for the start of the race tomorrow so they won't have scrubbed a set of the good tyres for no reason for when the track dries.
