Little more than half a second separated runners for five different teams as Friday’s practice running concluded at Valencia.<\/p>\n
The only car inside the top six without a so-called ‘blown rear diffuser’ was Lewis Hamilton’s McLaren, as Fernando Alonso led the pace with the heavily revised Ferrari.<\/p>\n
Close behind were the Red Bulls, followed by Mercedes’ Nico Rosberg, while the Renault of Robert Kubica was sixth quickest featuring an impressive emulation of the Red Bull-style rear exhaust layout.<\/p>\n
“I can’t talk in high enough terms about it,” BBC pit reporter Ted Kravitz said on Friday, adding that the R30’s solution “is wonderful”.<\/p>\n
After Red Bull earlier looked set to walk the 2010 title, before McLaren looked to have taken the upper hand more recently, victory in Valencia could be hotly contested.<\/p>\n
“The cars are merging together, we’re not seeing one or two teams moving into the distance.\u00a0 It’s very exciting,” said British commentator Martin Brundle.<\/p>\n
