With McLaren rear wing being approved and Ferrari all fired up, it was a private battle to see which is fastest. Ferrari was faster, but it was the Force India of Adrian Sutil that has taken 1st in the first practise session of the new season. We knew that they had pace, with his team-mate coming in 7th place. Ferrari came 2nd and 4th with Alonso and Massa, while McLaren came 5th and 6th with Button leading. 3rd place went to Robert Kubica in the Renault, that great result, but not for his rookie team-mate of Vitaly Petrov, was placed in 16th place. Both Mercedes cars finish in the top 10 with 7 time world champ Michael Schumacher finishing 10th. The RBR and STR all were pretty much the same, with Williams closely be behind. The BMW Sauber Ferrari were 17th and 18th followed by the 3 new teams with HRT and di Grassi not setting a time.
