Great to see Liuzzi ahead of Glock, and only 2 tenths off the fastest Virgin. Virgin brought massive upgrades here, but they have been caught by HRT.
Williams may be miles off the pace still, but to be 3 tenths clear of Force India, 5 tenths clear of Sauber and Toro Rosso, and 2 seconds clear of Lotus really is quite a step forward.
The team must have made progress in understanding the package and getting more out of tyres etc, perhaps due to the new mechanical set up.
