Watched the 2nd Friday practice today -- ASSUMING folks were "starting" to show their real speed (not sure that was necessarily the case) both Mercedes teams seem to have most of the speed.

Anyone catch the piece of the air intake on the front top of the McLaren chassis? Allegedly is to pull air in on the corners and route it to the wing for down force, but the driver can "close it" on the straight away to reduce the down force -- since they are using a driver controlled "balloon type device" to close the intake, it apparently doesn't count as an "adjustable downforce device".....interesting...

Can't wait to catch quals tomorrow morning!
