Hamilton came up tops in Practice 1 and 2.
Both the HRT cars came within the 107% qualifying time. In the Practice 2 Lewis Hamilton clocked 1:38.172 and accordingly the qualifying time was 1:45.044
Narain Karthikeyan was faster than his team mate in both the sessions despite clocking less number of laps. My estimation, he will consistently be faster than his teammate.
Michel Schumacher was 2nd in the 2nd Practice. This year the Mercedes has got a good speed in one lap distances. Hope it translates into good race pace as well.

Hi Kajal,
Good to know about your interests in Formula 1 and connect with you. The noise levels of the new engines are lower. In 2014 the regulations are going to change a lot and the noise level is supposed to change.
At times it is better to have a closed earphone to cover your ears.
Cheers,
Sabyasachi
