and suddenly the Redbulls are back at the sharp end ....

[myoozikk]

HRT are a bloody menace.

HRT are a bloody menace.

It's a testing session for them to make sure they have glued all the pieces together.

[Sidewaysbob]

... or maybe not.

[gospvg]

... or maybe not.

They are looking very poor

[Sidewaysbob]

HRT well outside the 107% rule, taxi for HRT please .... see if that'll be faster !

[myoozikk]

Massa to have to use options in Q1???

[f. grimes]

Go, Massa!

Morning, everyone.

[gospvg]

Massa to have to use options in Q1???

He done that a few times last season as well

[myoozikk]

Is Sky Go delayed a bit?

Yeah. I've turned off my live timing. It was maybe 1min or so ahead.

[gospvg]

I expected the Force India's to be up higher ..

11th for Di Resta - not good go try again Paul - maybe he will have to use softs?

[Sidewaysbob]

Early reports of the poor performance of williams seem to be premature..

however ... reports of shitty Ferrari appear to be confirmed

[gospvg]

Raikkonen out !! Fuck !!

[myoozikk]

Noooo kimi.

[f. grimes]

Ice-cream, anyone?

[gospvg]

Massa lucky to survive then

[myoozikk]

I hate the new noses in T-cam view, especially the Mercedes.

[Sidewaysbob]

That is a surprise, they where all over this on friday ?

[myoozikk]

Shoulda been Massa

[roskelld]

Looks like the iceman was a bad choice for the fantasy team this week.

[kiroquai]

Fair play to Marussia for getting into the race. Big oops for Kimi, awful shame to see a Lotus fail to make Q2 given their bitching about Merc.

Oh wait, no it isn't!

Ferrari looking awful. Going to predict that they'll both go out in Q2.

[gospvg]

Shoulda been Massa

He won't get into Q3

I think Alonso can wring the neck out of the car to get in

[myoozikk]

Haha oh yeah, shit

I'm not sure that even Alonso will be able to hold onto that Ferrari for a race distance. It's not a prancing horse , it's a bucking bronco.

[roskelld]

I've just paid for the live timing app. I can't live without it after the previous years. Annoyed that there's no free version now. I'm not as fussed about the driver tracker as I am the timings.

[f. grimes]

I didn't know de la Rosa had a seat! Jeez!

Is the apparent panic with tyres new or more common today or just the guys getting worked up in commentary? It's sounded like a Superbike Superpole session with the talk of desperately using up the softs to try to get through to the next session.

George Harrison's managing to get a word in this time, eh? Hmm, barely...

[Sidewaysbob]

The SI unit of driving standards Grosjean in third.... impressive for a new boy

so then Massa still shit, alonso still ragging a dead horse, Redbull very sketchy, the battle is between Merc and Mclaren, maybe a random in there too.

it's all jolly exciting isn't it

[gospvg]

Fuck Off Damien & Sky Twat, he made a mistake on his lap.

[Cheeko]

We have a season! What a crazy start, amazing.

Oh wait, no it isn't!

Yeah, that's the sorta crap that turned me away after decades of being a fan. That, stupid rule changes and someone doing whatever they could to make F1 cars ug-ly. Anyway, back to 2012...

Massa slower, y'say? Never!

Heh heh.

[Bushtopher]

Morning all. Just turned on - what's going on with those Q1 times? Not what I was expecting (well, except for Ferrari! )

Poor Kimi
