But seriously, the reason I don't like the wolfman is because yeah he runs a heavy fuel load but I think the reason he does is because when he doesn't he doesn't quali well. BMW knows that his best strategy is to run topped off in fuel and just put in consistent laps and sometimes shit just falls into his lap. With heavy fuel the rain races tend to suit that strategy very well. Last year, same thing. Yeah he's not slow but I hate the way he just "hangs around" and ends up in the points due to attrition. Yeah, sometimes his teammates attrition. Kubica is the faster driver but he's also a more aggressive driver.
Of course this is just my opinion. Some people love Nick. I don't.

Engineer: Nico, how's the car feel?
Nico: pretty good, feels balanced
Engineer: Any changes to improve?
Nico: new softs, some more down force and give me 6 kilos of fuel
Engineer: Okay Nico, just to confirm, you want more fuel
Nico: No, I mean just 6 kilos total...

As Ferrari's fortunes flagged even further, word spread in the Bahrain paddock that Luca di Montezemolo is set to arrive in the Persian Gulf on Saturday.

The Ferrari President may also be on official Formula One Teams' Association business, but figures in the Italian press insist Montezemolo is desperate to avoid his team sinking to the Scuderia's lowest ever trough this weekend at Sakhir.

Never in the history of the Prancing Horse has it attacked the opening four races of a championship without recording a single points finish.

The news coincided with Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen slumping to 16th and 18th respectively on the second Friday timesheet, after Raikkonen earned a 4000 euro fine for speeding in the pitlane.

As the sport's pecking order seems to turn upside down, Force India's Adrian Sutil soared to seventh in the afternoon heat, as he and team-mate Giancarlo Fisichella made use of a new 'double diffuser'.


On the other hand, BMW Sauber 's good morning form fizzed in session two, while Williams' Nico Rosberg topped the times ahead of Fernando Alonso.

In the sister Renault, Nelson Piquet got his hands on the same 'double diffuser' as Alonso, but trailed the famous Spaniard's pace by nearly a full second.

Championship leader Jenson Button settled not only behind the two Red Bulls but also Jarno Trulli's Toyota, while the morning pacesetter Lewis Hamilton dropped to 11th.

"We haven't made significant progress, we didn't bring anything new here this weekend - our goal remains to score some more points," said the world champion.
