If you think for a moment these guys are not out there trying to top the timesheets your mistaken.
There is nothing more damaging to the other teams moral than tearing them a new one during practice as well.
I am sure Renault and Red Bull both put some sticky tires on and ran light fuel loads to close the gap as small as possible just because.
If Ferrari is running down in P15 when the 2008 car is launched everyone will be proclaiming they have a bad car and suddenly off season practice will hold a lot of weight.
