Sorry, I was thinking of the fastest average speed which I think Montoya still holds.
Probably because he would have been on 1st regardless (@ 1.26.147) and since it's FP1 it isn't really worth the bother.

Perez has also a pretty good run. I think he outpoints everyone who doesn't drive a Mercedes or is called Vettel since the summer break.

Great news for Force India.
I guess the talks with Aston Martin didn't pan out for Red Bull. I wonder if they didn't returns their calls either.

I'm quite sure Johnnie Walker announced that they were jumping that sinking ship earlier this year.

In September, yes. And only, because Ron was being a dick.
" Johnnie Walker have been with McLaren for a decade, bringing £15 million a season. Their expected departure will be all the more galling for Ron Dennis, the McLaren chairman, given they offered at the end of 2013 to become the team’s title sponsor in a £43 million-a-year deal.
Dennis turned it down because he believed the offer was too small. A Johnnie Walker spokesman said on Friday night they are in “ongoing conversations” with McLaren but refused to comment on “speculation”. Santander’s £5 million yearly sponsorship is also set to end. The team also lost Hugo Boss to Mercedes last season after a 33-year association. "
"Here's free money for your team that is in shambles."
"Not enough!"

Time for a Japanese sake company to fill the gap. Alonso would be perfect for commercials.

Aaahaha, oh god. NBC isn't even showing FP2 live. Ironically, because it's in a normal time zone for us. Airing taped at 11:30pm EDT. It took awhile to even find the delayed airing and I thought for a bit that they weren't showing it at all.
It's always FP2 + Qualifying + Race in full, live, with FP1 and/or 3 added a few times a year. Don't think I can remember this happening since they got the contract.

He was inspired by the true wonderboy, Sainz.
Indeed, must destroy at least one Toro Rosso per race weekend.

That's where that Red Bull money comes into play. Nothing to worry about!

Maldonado making up his own track again.

I already think this need a permanent spot on the calendar because of the ludicrous engineer challenge. Highest straightline speed + the Monaco-spec aero package? Neat.
Track was clearly redesigned around having as many tight areas for spectators as possible and looks like the venue is fun.
Edit: lol, Honda 20kmh slower in the speed trap.

I think the track is just NEW still. The US broadcast crew said it was only set 14 days ago. There was a situation like this for Korea 2010 when they only paved the place the week before the race + it rained and it was an incredibly unpredictable race that ended up costing Webber the title.

Either Mercedes is sandbagging or we've learned today that the key to unlocking the true power of the Renault engine is to run it a mile above sea level.

Does the Ferrari have holes in the nose at this race?

Maybe they should put the engines in aircraft.
FI had a good run, especially after the team changed name twice in three seasons.
EDIT: That and it bears mentioning when Force India joined they were literally the slowest team on the grid.

Ugh why can't Mansour Ojjeh just sack Ron "80's man" Dennis once and for all, guy's been on an ego trip ever since the Whitmarsh sackings and the team keeps on a downward spiral, the guy still firmly believes that a 43 million a year deal is "not enough for Mclaren"
No shit! Arai's been "nothing but positives" all year long!
Red Bull and McLaren battling it out to make Q3.

I knew that was going to be the case.
