Ohh… for the first time Big Schu made it into the top 3 this season!
F1 this season has gotten a bit boring though…
I’m much more looking forward to the WRC race in New Zealand this weekend than the F1 race. This year WRC has gotten a lot more exciting with Kimi and Ken Block taking part in it. And Kimi has been doing pretty well lately for a rookie..

First sign of life back from Shuey. Everybody was expecting it, ok beside the haters. That´s the biggest news for me from today´s practive.
RBR is still fastest. They both run soft tires I read though. I don´t know about the others, also no fuel load indication. If RBR was heavy… then there is a formular one world between them and the rest.
I am almost sure that Merc was empty and on soft compounds. Ferrari is always conservative, working on their race trim on fridays.
McLaren? I am less impressed by their sheer performance, but flawless team effort and…. Button. Hats off to him. He is the one this year. Clever, fast, perfect with the difficult tires, Mr.race intelligence. I was impressed by his balls leaving towards McLaren. And now I am much more impressed. Who thought that Hamilton would be dominated so easy by his team mate?

Im sure Mclaren have more to put in. Hamilton’s fastest was in seesion one when the track was colder.
Whatever happened to Ferrari’s subliminal Marlboro Sponsor?

af, what planet are you on saying that f1 has got boring this season?!?!
have you been watching the same races as everyone else, or have you been watching replays of boreain?
i reckon that hamilton’s going to win this race… don’t ask me why, i just got a feeling he’s hiding something for the race. or at least he will win if the stewards allow him to actually race on the track and overtake without giving him warnings all the time.

Just like when schumi was at ferarri, everyone bows down to what he wants. Nico is 2nd in the championship so what does ross do? Change the car because michael doesnt like it, and what do you know now nico is in the dog house. The decision makes no sense at all, why compromise your leading driver mid season? So its back to F1 as it used to be, all about michael. I guess it wont be long till nico has to pull over to let him by or perhaps michael will “accidentally” park his car in the middle of the track in quali tomorrow lol

@Veyron Fan:
Do you support any of the F1 teams? Cause they all do the same thing, Ferrari work around Alonso, McLaren work around Lewis the rest just adapt. Did you ever think that Mercedes would be happy having only one driver scoring points? They are a new team and they need BOTH drivers to bring home points. Stop talking from the wrong hole will you?
