mixed conditions - mixed results
Neither fish nor fowl on this Thursday. Massa managed to achieve 2nd position behind Hamilton in wet conditions in the morning and the afternoon saw a major gap of more than 4 sec. on leader Webber, handing Massa over to 8th position of 11 participants. The Scuderia described the afternoon's work as long runs and pit stops representing a race simulation.

However, the reliability of F138 looks good: another 112 laps with more than 520 kms done. Tomorrow it will be Alonso's task again.
