The ITV commentary team certainly have an 'opinion' don't they? Just
ever so subtly tainting the win. I can just see Schu quietly
reclining while his pristine car is polished..

There were 3 practice sessions prior to qualifying. Here are the
number of laps done by each Ferrari:

MS 4 14 12
FM 0 18 10


Do the maths yourself..
That's great Brendan. Brundle's point was to do with the number of
sets of tyres used. You've just posted number of laps. It'd be more interesting to see the laps done on each set.

I don't have that information - so I posted what I could find. MS did more laps - which runs contrary to the thrust of the point being made.

Hmm, I thought the thrust of the point being made was that Massa chewed his tyres up in practice so he didn't have 3 new sets for the race, unlike MS. Have I got that wrong?

I don't even know if Brundle was correct about Massa. He also said that Alonso was on the second race with that engine.
