Wrapup: Day 4, Day 4.5

We've been through Fast Friday, and we've been through the day's practice before qualifying (Day 4.5), so let's get rollin' and put the top eleven cars on the grid!

The big news has got to be Teo Fabi Award candidate Robert Doornbos, who followed up his wall-clouting effort yesterday with another visit to the outside of the track today. Yesterday's impact was fairly sedate as wall shots go, as he just drifted up and tagged the wall in Turn 1. Today, he got loose and put it nearly nose-first into the wall. Ten years ago, he'd be severely injured. Today, he gathers himself up and gets ready to go for broke tomorrow.

Also finding the wall was Scott Sharp, who took a fun spin through the south end of the track before finding a tough impact in Turn 2.

I'll skip giving you top speeds, suffice it to say that the Penske cars were fast yesterday and fast today. Look for a lot of red and white at the top of the grid when the grid is set.

Just catching the beginning of qualifying and...erm...Justin Wilson stalled on the pit lane. Who knows, maybe he'll kick butt now that the car is on the track...
