Smooth start for Hamilton and Alonso
05 October 2007 / Results / PhotosThe McLaren team completed Friday's first and second free practice session without any problems. It promises to be a close fight between McLaren and Ferrari this weekend as both teams are setting almost equal times.
Fernando Alonso was second in today's second free practice session. He commented: "A very close practice session, with no problems throughout. As usual we worked on our set-up in the morning and made some good progress there, and then in the afternoon we concentrated on the tyre comparison. It is good to be back in China as I like this circuit. I expect it should be a very interesting weekend with the top four cars being very competitive here."
Lewis Hamilton also enjoyed a trouble free session. He said: "Both sessions went pretty smoothly, and I was able to get a good handle on this circuit, the sixth new one for me this year and completed the planned programme for today. It is a nice track, and the car felt good to drive. I am looking forward to the rest of the weekend where I expect that we have every chance for another strong result."
