I suspect a wet race will get 10 alps or so behind a pace car and then called off.

There has to be some action, but nothing too dangerious.

Are you measuring them vertically?

[Sidewaysbob]

It's Bernie's new plan to make things exciting, i thought it was common knowledge.

Klien replaces Yamamoto for the weekend due to food poisoning. Be interesting to see what he can do with the HRT as I seem to recall he was faster than Senna and Chandhok in the practise session he did. I imagine this also means we won't be seeing Chandhok in the car again this season, shame for him but bonus for us if it means he'll be doing more commentary in the practice sessions.

Is the India race not in this season?

[JPR]

Is the India race not in this season?

No India is next season, so I wouldn't be surprised to see him get a drive next season. I think Bernie also played a part in getting him a drive this season and can imagine he wants him in a car next year for the India GP.

Sir Jackie is doing commentary for this first practice session.

In fact, my seats are bang in the middle of the block on the far right. Going for a bear to watch the practice now. The sound is seriously hyping me up.

Can you get that bear to tear Bernie limb from limb?

I know its only first practice, but Kobayashi with the fastest time amuses me

I'm sooooo jealous!

Have fun!

[Sidewaysbob]

So much for my prediction that Ferrari had a car to beat Redbull this weekend.

[JPR]

I think it's still looking good for Alonso at least, was looking quick until he decided to try something different to finish off his lap, found it wasn't as fast as RBR unsurprisingly.

[myoozikk]

So glad I've found practice on TV here. Bloody advert breaks though.

[dayte]

Felipe is faster than you.... tu entiendes?

[Dudley]

Now walking in. No word of a lie the sound is so bloody nuts. Aghh!

The sound of an in person F1 car never ceases to be amazing. Was at Silverstone last weekend watching Jerome D'Ambrosio punting a Renault R29 round at damn near competitive pace and doing donuts in front of us and it's still as astonishing as it was in 1990 when I first heard them.

Brundle is hilarious at 1:45 in the Imola race. Elbow out of the cockpit!

Has no-one mentioned DC's gold shoes yet?

Watching the quail in a jaccuzzi, beer in hand. Life doesn't get any better, I'm wearing my Lewis Mclaren cap of course!

[PaulM]

Blinder of a lap by Hamilton, was worries that we were in for a Red Bull dominated snooze fest of a quali, so I'm rather pleased.

[morcs]

Schuey the slowest.

That's all I know, I'm absolutely blasted on white wine.

[sprite]

Exciting stuff

[shock33]

Man I hate Alonso

[myoozikk]

All we need now is Vettel to try and overtake Alonso & we'll have a Mclaren 1-2

[Sidewaysbob]

Living the dream

Anyway, yay for Alonso and Ferrari. 1st and dead last

[Big Gus]

YES! RED MACHINE!

*awaits customary negs from McLaren fans*

[JohnC]

Just looking at the times. The other Red Machine in last with no time? Massa damage?
