Alonso P1
I bet that is good for Valencia GP bussiness...

What does he have against Heidfled??!! he seems to always crash into him...... Nick must be terribly pi$$ed

And they wanted to ban him...

[Jensonb]

he would have been moaning cos Rubens was faster. I think the track temp in Valencia is obviously helping Brawn. So i guess JB wont be weaving mid race anymore

But then in FP2 JB was faster. So it's six of one half a dozen of the other, and no doubt Rubens will be moaning himself now.

There's just no pleasing these top-flight F1 drivers

alonso was on a home crowd pleaser, he was 5th when he crashed, went in, stuck fumes in the car and went out to please the crowd. doubt he will be there tomorow.

as alexander would say, schimples.

nah Rubens don't whine, Jenson whines hes like a spoilt Rich kid and Rubens don't wanna listen to all the Blah Blah Blah.

Has anymore been done on the Alonso/Heidfeld accident?

I hope that wasn't the only exciting piece of action that this weekend will offer us.


McLaren lost alot of valuable time today, I wonder if that'll effect them. It appears that Brawn are back, while Red Bull are struggling. However as the track rubbers in they might be helped.

Williams are the dark horse in my opinion. Ferrari might possibly have been quite conservative with Raikkonen today.

I dunno, you can't really take anything from Friday's. Bring on tomorrow morning.

One thing I'll say about Alonso and his P2 time. I get the feeling that was a PR attempt to try and get more people through the gates. It'll probably have worked if so.

Say, what exactly happened to Hamilton in FP2? I missed the start - heard he broke a new front wing but surely that wasn't enough to end his session?

Good to see both Williams' and both Force India's in the top 10 too.

The front wing didn't break but the hanger on the nose of the car did and they for some reason couldn't repair it in the hour or so they had left so they gave up on the session. I found it very odd how the wing didn't break but the car was no longer working.

the car was prob setup specifly for that front wing.

Lewis has been running a completely new shorter chassis today so the old wings probably don't fit.....

Anyone got any decent pictures of hammys new nose?

That's the nose that Lewis had in 2nd practice for the new chassis which has a shorter wheel base.



This is the new nose for HK car which has the longer wheel base


[EDIT] This is the old nose from Hungary

[Gaz]

jeez that longer wheelbase chasis don't half stick out

[7UpJordan]

Williams looking good again, Nakajima especially and they are continuing with their new policy of running heavier fuel loads in practice. It has really paid off when it comes to Q3.

Play up Naka, just get into the top 8.

The new shorter chassis is supposed to help out at the high speed circuits of Spa and Monza

that top pic of lewis is the the same no they introduced at Germany tho, there's no inner plane (tiny winglet) on it.

[volatilis]

Thanks, those pics are great.

For some reason the nose reminds me of a salamander.

I may have to photoshop!

Also, it looks a lot more like a Kart.

At a guess they only had time to make 1 wing for the new chassis so they made one which they expected to work such as the one from Hungary rather than produce a purely experimental one such as HK's new wing.

[Jensonb]

Button seems to be fairly happy with the car - apparently it feels like a Brawn again. They just need to perfect the balance tomorrow morning.
