Another GP this weekend, and it's been good practise sessions today for Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg respectively, but another bad day at the office for Ferrari. Should they finish outside of the points in Sunday's race they'll be record holders - but that's not a good thing. It'll be the first time in Ferrari's history they've failed to score a point in the opening four races.
The Italian team have spent the morning deciding whether to use KERS or not - Massa has been running it, Raikkonen hasn't. The Brazilian finished today's practise in 16th and the Sulk ended up two places below his team mate. Hopefully Massa will get his way or they have no hope this weekend.
Other drivers not performing are Fisichella, Nelson Piquet and Robert Kubica - all have failed to score so far and will be looking to open their points accounts at the dust bowl.

Qualifying results: 1..J Trulli 2..T Glock 3..S Vettel 4..J Button 5..L Hamilton 6..R Barrichello 7..F Alonso 8..F Massa 9..N Rosberg 10..K Raikkonen A Toyota 1-2, which means tomorrow's race could be interesting - Trulli, especially, has a tendancy to hold up the rest of the pack. He's a qualifying specialist, but doesn't have so much during the race, and will likely back up all the other drivers, keeping them close together. Mind you, should be easy for Hamilton to get past - Glock will probably pull out of the race and let him through.

Yes, great drive from the mighty Button. And Schumi will be pleased that Ferrari finally score some points - but only after Raikkonen & Massa come together on the first turn.
