More Strange Results in F1

It is now common knowledge that the F1 teams are having a hard time figuring out why certain teams have been so fast at certain tracks this year, while other teams just drop out of the picture. Today's practice session in Sao Paulo have been a continuation of that trend, and more so than ever. Although the Brawns and Red Bulls both look on the pace, the real surprise was in the second session how Sebastian Buemi in a Toro Rosso was fastest for most of the session until he was just thrown off the fastest time at the last minute by Fernando Alonso, in a Renault. And that one was a surprise in itself, as Alonso had been complaining of difficulties here at Interlagos. But Buemi second fastest?!?!

"I am happy that we seemed quite competitive in the afternoon, after the mechanics did a very good job to rebuild the car after my accident this morning," Buemi said, refering to the morning practice when he lost control coming up behind a slower driver. "Now we have a solid basis on which to improve tomorrow, after studying all the data."

Doesn't tell us anything, but Toro Rosso probably can't figure it out either.
