Just saw Jordan from Brundle's camera, awkward!

and Humphrey!

DC too.

Kimi

[f. grimes]

Five to go...

During DC's stint on the walk I did wonder if he was trying to keep the camera away from the Sky team. The highest tech, twenty-odd cars, one of the most expensive short-stay car parks in the World and he's going...

Look, crowd!

Here we go.

[SMD]

What tyres is Vettel on?

[f. grimes]

Christ, Anderson talking to Domenicalli is like Gandalf talking to Frodo!

Morning all.

I had them down as Morecambe (Domenicali) and Wise (Anderson - wise!).

[Dudley]

Christ, Anderson talking to Domenicalli is like Gandalf talking to Frodo!

Yeah I tuned in just in time to hear him take 9 attempts to get a sentence out.

For anyone using the timing app, if you're suffering from delay issues due to your tv feed, then you can pause the live timing to help synch the two up.

I wish I would have known that during the previous races.

[davius]

No crappy music on skys warm up lap. Are they learning!!!?

[roskelld]

Just noticed that too. Awesome.

[gospvg]

It's GO,GO,GO!!!!

[SMD]

AND IT'S GO GO GO

[Dandy_Sephy]

Rosberg "tradition lol"

[gospvg]

Great start by Button & Vettel 15th LOL

[Dandy_Sephy]

Vettlol in 15th!

[myoozikk]

Lovely start from the Mclaren's!

[SMD]

Alonso/Webber going to be the battle for today?

[Dandy_Sephy]

Oddly bunched up after 1 lap

[Dandy_Sephy]

Grosjean does a new personal best of actually being on the track during the second lap!

[SMD]

It looks like Schumacher held up Kobayashi and Button and Raikkonen went round and squeezed him out.

Oh dear, Senna

[gospvg]

Nervous Kobayashi went backwards

[myoozikk]

Silver Arrows looking good, let's see how they eat their tyres!

[Dudley]

I really thought the Mercedes would have gone more backwards by now.

[f. grimes]

But he was going through Massa!

[gospvg]

Mummy I'm doing rubbish, I am crap on the straights.

DRS seems to be doing not much at the moment to overtaking

[Dudley]

This is all information Red Bull had, they should have taken wing off the thing.

[SMD]

Mummy I'm doing rubbish, I am crap on the straights.

[gospvg]

Early stop by Webber ?

[Cheeko]

This is going to be great isnt it. Just hope the merc doesn't fall apart too much though, would be sad to see them just falling back.

[Dudley]

"Let's get Gary's reaction to that early stop?"

"That's an early stop"

"Thanks"

[SMD]

So, going on harder tyres - Red Bull admitting they're struggling?

[f. grimes]

It's oddly even throughout the field after five six completed laps. Tyres, consistency and whether or not your aero and power's up to dealing with the car ahead (and not getting too unstable in the meantime).

It's not all that stretched out in F1 terms, is it? Interesting...
