I won't say it's a reliable guide to pace as we don't yet know who was going for quick times and who was sandbagging, but nonetheless the performances in first practice were interesting. Williams take the two top spots - it's been a while since that last happened. Raikkonen and the two Brawn cars are up there. Lewis Hamilton's down in 16th but his team mate, Heikki Kovalainen, is 5th. Toro Rosso had technical problems.
The session was the first time, on a GP weekend at least, that we've seen these 09-spec cars out on track. Some are more attractive than others - the Red Bull / Toro Rosso looks nice I think, as does the nose of the Force India. These cars have high pointy noses, while Brawn have gone for a fat low one. Is that more effective then? I'm getting used to the looks now, though one of my colleagues up here in the media centre did remark that they all look like they've suffered a front suspension failure before they've even swung out of the garage!
