u can see where the fire started on massa's car (first pic).
another thing is that mclaren has got a couple of new wings just infront of the cockpit http://img116.imageshack.us/img116/9485 ... e45pe2.jpg
third thing, is it me or does the renault have a double flap rear wing?
Why is there a big difference of speed between Kimi and Massa, I couldn't figure any reasons about it. Although probably they were running with different objectives, surely the difference couldn't be that big, or is it that Massa has the upper hand?

A couple of comments;
The Ferrari airbox clearly shows the split intake already spotted in another thread. - in fact as a very subjective point it seems interesting (to me at least!) the different concepts used for airbox inlet shape and size; The RB seems to have a tiny one relative to others... I guess the air demand must be the same for all of the engines (same capacity, same rev limit), so presumably the same demand for air, but it does look small on the RB.
The Renault has some kind of "blemish" for want of a better word on the leading edge of the front wishbones. I can't imagine it's a manufacturing defect, so what is that doing there!
The Willy seems to have a split in the brake duct (which brings me to another point... the Macca and Renault seem to have hugely different sized brake ducts... just a subjective view, but they seem to be very different in size.)
we all know the only reason that coulthard had the fastest time today was that he had a practically empty fuel load, I know that isnt the only reason, but it doesnt seem right that on all the other days the RBR's are at the bottom and then on the last day DC ends up with the fastest time of the day, a bit strange I might say
at least Massa had the second best time, but too bad Raikkonen could only manage 7th
