Massive, straight into quali.
Obviously don't know the full story but can't help but feel some strong management would've pulled massa before FP3 and given Paul half a chance to get the car/himself set up.
If DiResta drives, then he's at a massive disadvantage. He's had almost no time in the car and it is set up for Massa. Obviously don't know the full story but can't help but feel some strong management would've pulled massa before FP3 and given Paul half a chance to get the car/himself set up.
And of course, all his haters will take the opportunity to say how crap he is when he doesn't perform.
Edit: 15 mins of FP3 still remaining and apparently they have taken Massa's seat out of his car, so perhaps they heard you.

They're changing the pedal box so looks like they're prepping the car for DiResta.
With only 10 mins left of FP3 he'll get very little time in the car, if any.
You can't run 2 different drivers in the same car in one practice session can you? Even if hypatheticay Massa was sick, say, 5 minutes in they couldn't swap Di Resta in for the rest of the session?With only 10 mins left of FP3 he'll get very little time in the car, if any.

Didn't FP3 end at 11am?With only 10 mins left of FP3 he'll get very little time in the car, if any.
Anyway Ferrari are looking untouchable round here today. What happened to The red bulls pace. I know Riciardo had his problems but max is off pace too. Hamilton can't get his tyres switched on. It's going to be an interesting qualifying.

Cynical me wants to make a conspiracy out of that. Only saw the last 20 mins or so of fp3 though, when did massas illness come on? With only 10 mins left of FP3 he'll get very little time in the car, if any.

Massa didn't feel well yesterday and after this morning's practice decided not to take any further part in this weekend, so Paul's in in his place having not raced in three years I think! Should make the race interesting.
It's certainly in at the deep end. Not raced in 3 years, never driven this car outside of a simulator, no time on circuit recently, and first go in the car will be during quali.So, surely all they can do is fuel the car up and have him out there the whole 15 minute session for Q1, not going for a quali time but at least get 10 laps or so under his belt to familiarise himself with the car ready for the race.
Rather than doing the usual Q1 plan of 2/3 new tyre one lap runs that doesn't get him into q2 ( which, lets face it even Massa wasn't looking like doing anyway - the Williams doesn't seem to have any pace this weekend)
