@RyanBriscoe6:
First time I've ever spun out in 5th gear in middle of straight, that's how slippery start / finish concrete straight is! Bad bad.

A bit of Sambodrome history, courtesy of Pizzonia:

2004 or 2005, me and Montoya went to do an F1 demonstration on the sambodrome. In a few minutes, we blew 2 engines...

Simply beacuse of the amount of wheelspin. With that, the car didnt gain acceleration, thus not cooling the engine.

According to Vision Racing's Facebook page (I dunno who still updates it) but, Qualifying will be moved until 7:30 am EST to allow for another practice session today.

They are also gonna grind the concrete portions for more grip.

24.  Milka Duno           Dale Coyne              1m44.2048s  + 11.4680s

Why are they slower than FP1? Has the track got dirtier?

Two things I can see from that data tho. Very good job by Simona, and terrible job by Duno. 11 seconds off the pace, and she still managed to bin it? Oh dear.
