One weekend down and the Hamaya Practice Championship is a tense fight between McLaren and Mercedes. Remember that this takes place in every practice session of the weekend and in each session the fastest driver picks up 8 points down to 1 point for the 8th fastest. Here are the standings after round 1:
Drivers:
- Michael Schumacher Mercedes 17
- Lewis Hamilton McLaren 15
- Jenson Button McLaren 13
- Fernando Alonso Ferrari 10
- Mark Webber Red Bull 10
- Nico Hulkenburg Force India 7
- Nico Rosberg Mercedes 7
- Romain Grosjean Lotus 7
- Sergio Perez Sauber 6
- Kamui Kobayashi Sauber 4
- Paul Di Resta Force India 3
- Daniel Ricciardo Toro Rosso 2
- Felipe Massa Ferrari 2
- Pastor Maldonado Williams 2
- Sebastian Vettel Red Bull 2
- Heikki Kovalainen Caterham 1
Did you ever think you’d see the day when Pastor Maldonado was leading Vettel in a championship?
Schumacher celebrating leading the championship already! (warning this Schumacher is quite a bit younger and may just be celebrating something else i.e. another of his victories).
Teams:
- McLaren 28
- Mercedes 24
- Ferrari 12
- Red Bull 12
- Force India 10
- Sauber 10
- Lotus 7
- Toro Rosso 2
- Williams 2
- Caterham 1
McLaren and Mercedes have started quicker than most, but with 57 practice sessions left and teams regularly not going as fast as possible these standings are very unlikely to stay as they are for long.
