Awesome, I think we'll almost certainly see another Aussie in F1 next year. Maybe in Buemi's seat at some stage....

Yes, very fast.

But comparable to Saturday's qualifying? maybe yes, maybe no. I remember the days of free practise before a Karting championship - there'd usually be one or two who were stunningly fast in practise, only to be off the pace when it counted. There's no scrutineering in free practise, no limitation on using development parts, no restriction on revs/fuel/gearing, no checks on weight, engine legality, tyres, etc, etc, etc. Plus there was a very well rubbered track to play on, which was not the case on Saturday.

true Gerhard, but at the end of the day, he only needs to be fast relative to everyone out there on the day, which is doing in style!

he also smashed everyone at the young driver tests last year - he was only 1s faster then...

Ricciardo has secured the friday practice job at toro rosso for 2011! He's alternating races between Buemi and Alguesuari.
He was at the festival at Barbagallo yesterday with Webber fanging the RB5/6 around our crappy little dustbowl of a racetrack.

Webber has revealed in his book that he busted his bloody shoulder AGAIN this year with 4 races left! He didn't tell anyone except his trainer and the F1 medic.
How did he break it??.....drumroll.... HE STACKED HIS MOUNTAIN BIKE!!
