Lap Record: M Schumacher (2004). 1:30.252

Sebastian Vettel fastest lap (2012). 1:36.379

If they can be astronauts, work in the military and so on, I'm sure driving an F1 car is nothing in comparison. Sometimes, we F1 fans think of drivers as demigods who risk their lives every weekend. They simply are not. They are skilled at figuring out where the limit of a machine is but that reall...

Lotus already had a car which was kind to it's tyres last year but suffered from heating them up (i.e. getting heat into them and maintaining that heat, for which they were punished in qualifying). They spent a lot of resources addressing that issue and seem to be reaping the rewards for that appro...

Didn't a driver point out the FI Paul used his DRS under yellow flag? So not all drivers

There is no way RBR would want to sabotage there own car. The money is in the WCC not WDC which they cannot get with just the one car finishing. Perhaps the reason Mark was left out on track they must of know the fuel issue but put it down to sensor fault on car rather than bowser problems, until th...

Lets tell lewis to throw in towel now he's been beat.

Just watched the end of Senna. I know that is not on subject but if a life can be saved by not making racing drivers push the limit in conditions that the car wasn't desighed. Is that a bad thing?

Br4d

I will be glad if its delayed till tomorrow morning, get a better idea of pecking order on a dry track.

Br4d

Do they use a light meter like they do in tennis to check when it's to dark?

Br4d

That Ferrari is well built

Br4d

It's on

Br4d

They would have to delay wouldn't they? Or do they have back up generators for timing ect?

Br4d

Would they be able to delay the qualification start time by much?

Br4d

Power cut pfft

Br4d

Better be back on soon

I've long suspected a strain in the McLaren-Mercedes relationship. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. As to the Honda powerplant....they're quite capable of producing a fast, reliable engine in a very short time. Do not be fooled. They have more than enough technology, data and resourc...

Wasn't the rear tyre issues down to the old exhaust?

Br4d

Anyone any ideas on wot upgrades have been put on that merc today?

Not when the track temperature is a lot warmer!

cheers

Is there any live timings?

Anyone else having problems joining the league?

Will the teams use the test car for 1 of the drivers (new engine and gerbox etc) or will the both get new cars?

Br4d

How many slow motion replays did sky do at the chicane turn 10,11 where the cars were clipping the curb. Boring

Br4d

Is the weather going to be any warmer next week to give a better indication on the tyre durability?

Br4d

Just watched him on sky, was like he doesn't want to be there. Lotus must dread it every time he mumbles to the cameras.

Br4d

Kimi Raikkonen has got to be the most boring miserable person ever.

I have seen the coanda effect mentioned a few times. I looked into it and came across this very informative video. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Love to hear your thoughts

Big shoes !!!!!!

I can't see mercedes spending all that money on new wind tunnel, new team members, plenty on a new driver & new car. There must have a lot of upgrades to bring for pre season testing to become at least more competitive than they was last season.

Br4d

Surely the team wants to win the constructors so it would be in there interest to make sure both cars have a good strategy?
