Something funny for you to watch and have a giggle at whilst waiting for FP3.

I don't remember ever seeing that double level 4/5 person press conference setup before.

[myoozikk]

Looking forward to my annual red eye for both the race & quali. Really excited

I don't remember ever seeing that double level 4/5 person press conference setup before.

I think its the "full" drivers conference, TV only seems to show the podium conference

Alonso at 3:23 is great.

So where can we see the races if we don't have Sky or an iPad? I'm willing to pay a couple of quid for good streams. I just want to see every race.

I'm using http://www.liveonlinefooty.com/ who have made a 24/7 dedicated stream of the Sky F1 HD channel. It's £6 for 60-day membership, plus you get access to all the usual football channels they stream, if that's of any relevance for you.

In other news, who's up for 3rd practice? I was going to go to bed and get up early for Quali, but since I found myself still up at 1am I thought I might as well just wait for practise...

I'm beginning to feel rather optimistic about a Merc GP podium this weekend...

[Len]

Phew just got back from the boozer....can't wait!

What did I miss?

[kiroquai]

Oops, Vettel bins it!

[Len]

Hehe...can we wag our fingers at him?

[Len]

Nice lap from Grosjean.

[kiroquai]

Michael bins it too

Could be an epic qually session!

[myoozikk]

Why am I awake?! COS IT'S F1 2012 BABY!!!

[tyler]

Slept worse than Christmas eve when I was 10.

Morning.

[myoozikk]

All the bullshit stops when the chequered flag drops, let's see what y'all got.

[thesnwmn]

My god this little sleep is killing me. Bacon and coffee on the agenda!

[myoozikk]

I've gone for the stay in bed option. Brought the mothership to me...

[Sidewaysbob]

Morning all ...shhhh .... dont wake the wife.

[myoozikk]

Lotus & red bull (more to come i'm sure) to protest quali results due to Mercedes rear wing.

[Sidewaysbob]

ooooh lotus protesting the the Merc trick wing. oh joy..... sore loosers

just because their reactive ride system got banned before they'd even had a chance to run it in anger.

Well i've gone for a Vettel, button front row, not feeling confident now.

[myoozikk]

Im just interested to see where red bull are. Ferrari just tweeted "it's going to be tough for us, no reason to hide the truth"

[polygon_monkey]

Blurgh. So tired. Still, F1 - wooooooo!

[Sidewaysbob]

Indeed, what are the chances of a Merc front row ... almost certainly a merc engine on pole i think.

[myoozikk]

My gut is its between Mclaren & Mercedes. My thought/hope is Lewis on pole.

[gospvg]

Morning all !! So excited

I joined the coverage with Sky interviewing Martin Whitmarsh over some protest - what was that about?

[Sidewaysbob]

lotus getting narky about the Merc rear wing .. "it all so unfair" etc

[gospvg]

lotus getting narky about the Merc rear wing .. "it all so unfair" etc

& the politics starts

Why can't they just accept that merc have designed something they did not think of

[Sidewaysbob]

Is it wrong to be excited about Kimi coming back ?

[gospvg]

Nope it's great to have the iceman back

[Len]

Absolutely not!

[polygon_monkey]

Is Sky Go delayed a bit?
