JA seems to think Ferrari is ahead and after reading, it's a logical conclusion from the data.

I hope he's wrong though.

It should be noted that all BWT-sponsored cars have pink liveries.

WTF 

 

I have always disliked this design in the DTM and now I will see it in the F1 too 

 

 

[D Double]

I don't know what to think.

Looks good and bad at the same time

 

[Sinner]

I like it!  It's something different! 

 

[zk1mpls]

A nice selection to choose from! 

Suzuka gets my vote! 

Suzuka is in the middle of nowhere, though. Fuji Speedway was already a pain in the **** to get to... even with a car. That traffic jam

 

[Sinner]

Good point.  The Red Bull Ring looks like it's in the middle of nowhere too.

Yup. Hotels are very difficult to book as well. Singapore is the best venue for attending a grand prix. The hotel I stayed in before was only a few hundred metres from the track. Great trackside entertainment, too.

Abu Dhabi would be pretty cool to visit as well, but would probably be too expensive.

 

[Sinner]

SG hotels are expensive during that time too, no?

 

[kanyeezy411]

I would like to visit Spa, but I don't think that there's much to do besides the race

Yeah. Around $300 a night. Imagine I was forced to rebook my flight and stay for another night just to meet the drivers. :x

Spa I'd like to visit. A few friends of mine attended last year's grand prix... heard it was hell to get out of the track after the race. Stuck for 5 hours or something. :x

5 hours 

    Probably would need a chopper then

 

[Sinner]

Go to Melbourne or Montreal then! 

 

[zk1mpls]

5 hours :x     Probably would need a chopper then

Le Mans was a couple of hours at least, in comparison

Yeah Melbourne or Montreal would be sweet. Just need visas to both ("terrorist country" ftl )

FP1 and FP2... Merc's epic sandbagging

 

[kanyeezy411]

And there is the half second I talked about

 

[zk1mpls]

And there is the half second I talked about

They used Ultras and the Fezzas didn't though. We'll see in FP3

Lewis was on used tires on his quickest lap. In P2 they were both on UltraSoft, as far as I know. Couldn't watch it, because it was at 3am local time 

On the long runs Mercedes was more than 1 second ahead of RedBull and nearly a second ahead of Ferrari. 

I expect Williams to be more competitive on Saturday than today.

Races in Bahrain and China will be awful for Renault-engine teams and especially for McLaren...

 

[Sinner]

 There goes this season. 

 

[kanyeezy411]

This moment, when the graphics don't work during the qualifying and you don't know anything about the standings and gaps ...

 

[Sinner]

That's why I watch every race with my timing app! 

Anyway... Ferrari close, as expected!

McLaren are so lucky to have Alonso. 

Surely Stoff has more... had to let Alonso pass.

And 

 @ Jolyon's attitude.
