2010 CHINA GP: VETTEL AGAIN FASTEST, HIS 3-RD POLE IN FOUR RACES
The German claimed his third pole in four races, also making sure Red Bull has secured the top spot in all the grands prix of the season so far."It was a fantastic lap, and the fourth consecutive pole position for Red Bull. We are proving we have a very good car independent of the circuit type. We are always up there. Special thanks to the mechanics because they had zero lunch as we required a lot of changes that they had to work from free practice to qualifying.I think it will be raining tomorrow, it's just a question of when.Dry or wet we should be well armed for tomorrow."
Mark Webber was second fastest and is pleased with his effort in qualifying, despite being beaten by his team-mate, loosing 1-3. "I was happy with my lap. I gave it everything and it wasn't enough. You'd like to be a bit further up, but we are in the position we deserve to be. Seb stopped the sand a bit quicker than I did, but tomorrow is a long race."
Fernando Alonso secured third place on the grid for the Chinese Grand Prix.It is the third time in four races that the Ferrari driver will start from third on the grid.He is hoping for a dry race, despite there being over a 90 per cent chance of showers tomorrow. "I prefer dry, but if it rains it is the same for everybody and this is a race situation. If it rains tomorrow it will be fine. It will be interesting to see how the race develops, with the potential of our car and how it normally performs. A dry situation will be more normal for us. Tomorrow's race will be determined by the weather. When it rains if it is wet all race then maybe the first car can lead until the end, but in those races you can make a good choice or a bad choice and lose 10 seconds per lap. It is nice to watch on television but very risky for us."

2010 CHINA GP: RESULTS FROM FRIDAY PRACTICES
Lewis Hamilton recorded the fastest lap of the weekend so far to top the times in the free practice sessions in China. Rosberg came second, improving on his own time when he switched to the options. Michael Schumacher was fourth in FP2, and was as close as he has been to team-mate Rosberg this year. The Ferrari men looked lurid for much of the second session as they worked hard to recover the time Spanish lost this morning, lapping just over 0.3s faster than team-mate Felipe Massa. Fernando Alonso pulled off the circuit in first sesion with what appeared to be another engine failure. Flames was licking from the exhaust ports on the Ferrari. Buemi has spectacular crash, causing a red flag period. He comented accident:"It looked quite spectacular but from inside the car, it was not so big. Once the car stopped, it took a bit of time to understand what happened, but it was not too bad. Something broke, and it happens. We don't think about it any more. We were working on preparing car for second practice, but we just missed out by a few minutes."

NEWS FLASH
Felipe Massa is reportedly close to securing a three-year extension to his Ferrari F1 agreement, what would tie him down to the famed Scuderia until at least the end of 2013, a season longer than the current deal for double world champion team-mate Fernando Alonso. It is understood that a new deal has already been prepared and will be signed shortly. Alonso is committed to the Italian outfit until at least the end of 2012 and the Spaniard has hinted that he intends to conclude his F1 career there.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mercedes Grand Prix top brass Norbert Haug and Nick Fry have poured cold water upon speculation that record-breaking multiple world champion Michael Schumacher could bring a premature end to his return to F1 competition, leaping to the defence of the German legend, who they insist remains 'highly-motivated' and focussed on 'long-term' success.------------------------------------------------------------------------
Renault rookie Vitaly Petrov has admitted that his principal goal now in F1 2010 has to be to see the chequered flag, after enduring three DNFs in the first three grands prix of his top flight career – as it emerges that the Russian has been instructed by his team to lose some weight to bring him more in-line with similarly tall but 10kg lighter team-mate Robert Kubica.Friday, April 9, 2010
