Just watched a re-run of FP2 (I couldn't be bothered to stay up and watch it last night). My prediction now, before FP3 and qualification is that HRT will not take part in the race, as they won't meet the 107% time in Q1.
The car looks as though it corners worse than a pig on ice skates! hock:
With that in mind, I don't hold out much hope for them qualifying for any of the first 4 races, seeing as they are all fly-away races so getting spare parts to the team will be costly (they seem to have less funding than what Minardi had).
Oh, the Red Bulls are sand-bagging to a certain extent, as that had roughly 70-80kg of fuel in the cars compared to the rest. Mind you, McLaren had about 60kg of fuel in the cars in FP2 as well. These figures come from a couple of usually well informed F1 insiders via Twitter.
