[Bartel]

[BigCHrome]

Red Bull copying the McLaren exhaust.

[MadYarpen]

if you are a VIP than go to certain BOX with dot TV ;)

[Baddoer]

Vergne's car seems to be awfully balance, ignoring just every second corner

Red Bull copying the McLaren exhaust.

They also seem to have the two strakes on the top of the sidepods like Mclaren.

Don't forget that the SPORTS are Formula-1.

Is it just me or does the HRT have a different livery?

Looks more red/brighter.

Ha I knew as I wrote that someone would point out lotus was first to implement the strake. I said Mclaren as they have the two strakes and the RB version seems more in line with theirs possible due to them adopting the Mclaren style exhausts.

Blimey, Jenson sounded like a beaten man on the radio then. He needs to sort his head out.

Didn't sound good.

[jrg19]

Jenson struggling with front locking?

[Vesuvius]

Sounds like a typical Jenson when things are not going to his liking.

[bonjon1979a]

Now front locking. Complaining about heat etc.

[F1ultimate]

I guess Lewis' setup isn't working well for him then.

[jrg19]

Lewis looking like he's struggling with traction.

[Lazy]

Lewis looking like he's struggling with traction.

and front locking.

[Markn93]

Watching the on board Lewis is struggling a fair bit with little lock ups, backing out of many laps, just doing laps to get a better feel of the circuit now I'd guess.

[BigCHrome]

To be fair, looks like everyone is struggling with brakes.

[Sinceref189]

Everyone struggling with brakes so far , i guess there just trying to find the limits

[bonjon1979a]

To be fair, looks like everyone is struggling with brakes.

I hope they don't go chasing the track with set up for Jenson. They're already talking about changing quite a lot at the front. It could just be that the track is so dusty and green. Not the best start for the lad.

[Vesuvius]

I think it's more to do with the fact that the track is very dirty instead of brakes.

[ocp]

Liking McNish commentary, experience and likes to talk about it.

[Trust]

Massa back to usual service? One sec slower?

[Markn93]

JB looking much better on this lap

[sofarapartguy]

Times are so close

[icewest07]

Impressive KOV so far in the Caterham ; lots of laps, and only 1.5s down the pace

[CrucialXtreme]

+1 I'm liking his commentary too! Very good job thus far.

It seems like 1,5 sec down will take you somewhere 18-20 - times are close, as they were in Canada.

[Sevach]

Nice flat spot Button.

Well, he is looking racier this weekend so far.

not a mclaren copy after all.

[Elloh]

Canada is one of the shortest circuits on the calendar, so the time difference never get high there (1.13.XXX). Valencia is a 1.38-1.40 track so 1.5s difference is really good if Kova can keep the difference through the weekend.

I know, but look at top ten: 2 tenth down and you are 7th.

[Baddoer]

So. Maldonado

Times will stretch out more than that in FP2. Dirty track, no one really pushing yet.

How funny would it be if Pastornado is the first repeat winner of 2012?

Absolutely

[jrg19]

Sebastian and Mark using different exhaust solutions?

[Zava]

yeah, as a Vettel fan that is getting a bit tiring, would be happier if they'd just swallow their pride and put on the mclaren version.

[CroatiaALONSOfanclub]

can Alonso get a grid penalty for blocking Webber?
