If either have to do well, I'd rather it was Webber. But, I'm sure one way or another, circumstances will conspire against him. At least they will if Marko has anything to do with it.

Watching the F1 show/ted's notebook (
) last night he mentioned he would announce in tonights show (at 9) why Alonso hasn't bothered to turn up.
Anybody know why?
1) Couldn't be bothered
2) More interested in spending time with his russian model girlfriend? (she tweeted a cracking pic of her legs the other day)
3) Let massa iron out the faults
4) I'm too good (which he probably is)

with Vettel, Button, Kimi, you might expect a bit of fun happening, but its been Massa thats set the pace, with a 1s advantage.
Ferrari lunchbreak at 1, so going by yesterday, he will be back out at 3pm CET

Looks like the AutoSport boys are getting a bit hungry and test weary. 
12:33 Hole update: What looked like a big poking stick (we were excited) is actually a blower that is being used to dry the cement faster. Red Bull and Ferrari both have men inspecting the repair job.
12:21 And we have cement! The media centre is genuinely (sort of. Mainly it's just AUTOSPORT Live) glued to the action. Can this work? How long will it take? Does the man who was standing and poking around a bit feel miffed that people are now doing something?
12:20 There's nothing like staring at a hole repeatedly without moving for fixing it. We try that quite a lot when our car breaks. Poking around a bit also looks clever.
12:18 Oh, that's been abandoned now. Suggestions that all the repair work has managed to achieve is to make the hole bigger being ignored (possibly because they can't hear us) by the repair men.
12:17 Black plastic version of a sleeping policeman not a clear enough description for you. How about a photo then. Once again it's from Jonathan Noble, our resident kerbing and masonry expert. You can follow him on Twitterhere.
12:14 Incidentally, we're not sure why it seemed important that one of the track workers was in a leather jacket. But it did.
12:13 This is like rescue watch on an epic scale. They're now laying some fake kerbing (the black plastic version of a sleeping policeman) over the hole in a bid to fill it.
12:11 Oh, help has arrived. Two men have turned up carrying what looks like some carpet
12:10 Still not much action down at Turn 9. Still a lonely track worker - who is wearing a leather jacket - wandering around.
12:05 Unlike Barcelona, Jerez does not have an official lunchtime break - so track time is ticking away.
12:04 There is now a single track worker left standing near the hole. He is on the phone - either to his bosses or the local DIY store for some quick-drying cement
12:01 Red Bull crew are now getting back in the safety vehicle and returning to the pits.
11:59 There is now an awful lot of arm waving going on as track workers try and come up with a solution. Red Bull might have to call on the genius of Adrian Newey to work this one out.
11:57 It is pretty clear that they can't let the test resume until something is done to fix the hole.
11:55 AUTOSPORT Live isn't infallible - the hole is actually between Turns 9 and 10. Apologies. We blame someone else.
11:53 And here's a photo of the hole courtesy of ace snapper and sometime F1 journalistJonathan Noble.
11:52 There are some Red Bull mechanics looking at the hole now. The issue is that any car travelling over it could pick up damage but could also damage the kerb and throw more debris onto the circuit. Like we said, it might not be a quick fix...
11:49 And we're red again. Thought that was unusual. It's not massively deep, but it looks about one foot round and is right on the edge of the kerb.
11:48 Except we're green suddenly. The hole is still there though...
11:47 Yep, there's a big hole about one foot over from the kerb (on the rumble strip effectively). This might not be a quick fix...
11:46 There's a lot of debris just on the outside of one of the turns which needs dealing with, and at first glance it looks like the kerb at Turn 5 is breaking up.
11:44 Just as Luiz Razia improved in the Marussia, we're under reds again.
