Brazil 2009 - Friday

So, the first two practice sessions of this very special weekend are over and things don't look too bad. A 7th place - behind Vettel and Rubens - and a 5th place - behind Rubens but ahead of Vettel.
Both sessions pretty much painted the same picture: Jenson was quick on the prime tyres. Quickest even for quite a while during 2nd practice. So things look really good in that respect. It's the option tyres that worry me. He seems to struggle with them. I didn't see him drive a single lap on the supposedly quicker options that was anywhere close to his laps on prime tyres. The old temperature problem, I assume.
So no rain and a little warmer for the rest of the weekend would be nice. But I'm sure Jenson will drive another good race regardless of the circumstances. What he really needs is a decent qualifying tomorrow. Looking at the last few races it pretty much comes down to that.

And what I need is to stop thinking 4 and 6 points with one race to go rather than 14 and 16 points with two races to go. This weekend he can only win the championship, not lose it.
