Practice 3! Rosberg wins YET AGAIN!
Posted: 28 Mar 2009, 05:09
Rosberg has won all the practices leading upto qualifying in Melbourne. This time he was only 3 thousends of a second ahead of Jarno Trulli who showed that the Toyota based engines (both Williams and Toyota) are very fast both on medium and soft tyres. Brawn GP looked strong as always with a new sponsor tag on their car. Multibillionare Richard Branson has signed a sponsorship deal with his company "Virgin" with Brawn GP.
The only other major things that happened was that Räikkönen was forced to stop his practice early with probable gearbox problems. Sebastian Vettel also quit his practice early with a "braking issue" but that's not a surprise as he's been struggling with the car since the start of the season.
Surprises
Good
No real surprised since yesterday to be honest.
Bad
Mclaren. They are still showing that they haven't got the pace and now it doesn't look very hopeful for them. They might not even go to Q3!
