At one point it looked as though Ferrari were going to lock out the first row of the grid, but Jenson Button spoiled that plan spitting the ferrrari’s of Alonso and Massa. Still all in all it was a great day for Ferari, and if they show the same pace in the race could easily end up winning the race.
