Quick reminder, don't forget to make your predictions for the race if you are in the prediction league. Gonna wait to see how P1/P2 shake out before setting everything 100%.

I'm waiting till 10 minutes before qually. Loldonado won last year, anything could happen!

 

[Addnan]

It's starting! BBC's coverage of FP1 is starting. It's been too long.

 

[Sloane]

Lots of rain. :/

 

[DBT85]

Those extra prototype hard tyres are a complete waste for today lol.

 

[Addnan]

Almost forgot how boring fp1 is.

 

[DBT85]

Gary Anderson really not impressed with McLarens new FW.

 

[Sloane]

Gary Anderson really not impressed with McLarens new FW.

Looks like they've officially given up with the season, Jenson's rather drinking coffee than driving in the wet.

 

[DBT85]

Finally starting to use the slicks. Torro Rosso out on the test tyre.

And a barge board just fell off the McLaren, I think in the garage lol.

 

[Psychotext]

Doesn't really look like we can make anything of the times in this session.

 

[Goldrusher]

top: Australia
bottom: Spain

Looks exactly the same to me.

Definitely not "a new look" as Lauda described it.

 

[Milchjon]

Alonso's violent nature has finally been revealed for all to see.

He's a stain on the unblemished reputation of the Formula 1. He should be forced to switch to NASCAR.

eh what the hell? Did I miss something?

I knew he was an aggressive and arrogant prick.

What did he do now?

 

[Milchjon]

Shoved a photographer down a ramp and broke his $6000 camera! (According to the photographer).

Incredible. He should've done it like Vettel and kissed and hugged the guy.

Meh. Don't have a lot of sympathy for photographers that get in peoples faces. Doesn't mean he isn't a dick.

 

[DBT85]

I think I'll wait for the other side of the story.

 

[Milchjon]

This shouldn't be tolerated. F1 is a sport for gentlemen like Sebastian Vettel.

Its clearly a sign of affection

[PdotMichael]

Well, Senna punched another driver in the face and he still the hero.

so who cares?

 

[brotkasten]

I'm sure the other driver deserved it. Photographers on the other hand are completely harmless and just want to take a damn picture. I bet he was even a fan.

 

[Addnan]

What is the point of fines for speeding in the pitlane? Button fined €1000 for speeding. Isn't he like one of the highest paid drivers lol.

 

[Milchjon]

What a terrible Photoshop. Someone perverted his celebratory finger.

Here's the original, BTW:

This defamation has to stop.

 

[cmr-94]

We should see plenty of running in this second session

he still looks cross eyed.

 

[cmr-94]

So what difference is there between the prototype tyres and the new hard tyres?

 

[Hackbert]

mhh.. seems fp2 will be dry and hopefully a better pace indicator

 

[Deadman]

Another medium tyre failure? yay pirelli

 

[Kassu]

McLaren seem to be even more behind everyone than earlier lol.

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

Pirelli



Dat track debris

 

[Psychotext]

Oh dear oh dear Pirelli. Let me guess, more debris.

 

[Saiyar]

More tyre delamination problems? They need to get this sorted out.

 

[Adamm]

Oh dear Pirelli

 

[RomanticHeroX]

Oh Pirelli, what a joke.

 

[Zeknurn]

Ferrari, Red Bull, Lotus and Force India are all looking good. We could have a great race on our hands.

 

[Az]

Kimi win #2 this weekend.

 

[brotkasten]

Depends on who's tyre is going to pop during the race.

 

[kharma45]

McLaren missed the deadline to sign the option for new Mercedes engine deal for 2015. So Honda it is. Story: http://bit.ly/10xrpap

 

[fu3lfr3nzy]

Isnt it theyre still getting Merc engines next year and Mercedes actually doesnt want to sell them any since they dont want to share info about their engines or something?

Someone mentioned it here before.

Correct.

Merc will be keeping as much technical data from McLaren as possible. Though a man from Honda could easily turn up at MTC one day and have a look.

 

[Chris R]

Watching P2... fucking Pirelli, get your shit together

 

[ClassyPenguin]

Lol pirelli


Also for NBC watchers lol.at that Mobil 1 crown vic ad

 

[Sloane]

Ferrari, Red Bull, Lotus and Force India are all looking good. We could have a great race on our hands.

Yeah, I expected Mercedes to do a bit better but I guess it will be between Vettel and Alonso. McLaren on the other hand -- if Button makes Q3 today, we can probably expect another happy radio message...

 

[Adam Scott Aukerman]

Practice 3 is on BBC 2, with the TV team as opposed to radio. I don't recall them having done that before?

 

[Addnan]

Apparently debris is causing a failure because of the way it's made. Sounded like they are saying its by design? Instead of deflating.

 

[Adamm]

Wow Red bull is covered in flo viz

 

[cmr-94]

Right. I have no idea what my predictions should be

 

[Zeknurn]

I'm betting on a Massa, Raikkönen, Alonso podium.

Lotus will no doubt screw up qualifier again.
