hamilton = schoolboy

Crashed his car in P1.

He has fairly damaged it.

Here in New York City we don't get the second practice session untill 8AM ET. Does Hamilton have a backup car?

There are no back up cars anymore, his mechanics will have to fix it.

[Acenyc]

We got less that an hour until the second session. The mechanics better work a miracle.

Sutil's really talented in the rain, I think he might actually be a future driver along with Kubica to watch for a move to a Championship contending team.

Alonso 19th though, wtf?

[What's Burning?]

What's the projection for rain during P2 more of the same or does it look to be drying out?

[vaptin]

1251: It is certainly drier now than it was this morning in Germany. The umbrellas are down and the overcoats are safely tucked away. From the pictures we are getting, it seems the track is completely dry. Coverage starts on the Red Button and at the top of this page from 1255 BST. Lovely.

Raining again, lewis looks like he'll be out again but wont be going as fast as they were at the beginning. Lewis just needs data and lots of it.

Yes. Several times he's made great wet races. Also, he is very consisntent. Not like his teammate Liuzzi. Perhaps he's not as aggressive as Kubica... but definitely one of the guys to watch out for. Force India has also made a good/decent car for 2 yrs in a row

We got less that an hour until the second session. The mechanics better work a miracle.

So are they going to fix it in time? from the looks in the pics the car was pretty roughed up.
Ah the regret! talk about unlucky. Should have happened in FP3

Hamilton up to 13th and that's enough to get him ahead of team-mate Button. And Button has been out on the soft tyre.

Just as I was saying Schumacher was having a better weekend his session has come to an end due to damage to the car. That was possibly the result of one of his off-track excursions.

Hamilton is also puching hard and runs a little wide through turn one.

15:25


Trulli is being wheeled off the circuit at turn six.



Even with the crash, Hamilton is still doing the job...too bad the car is just really slow today. Hope McLaren can catch up a bit tomorrow.

hard to read much into todays times with the changeable conditions. With a wet P3 predicted will have to wait to the dry Q for the pecking order! But i think as Ant was saying Ferrari were running on lower fuel than the bulls as they were quite a margin quicker in S3 which is the sector that highlights fuel loads.

[f1ea]

Red Bull will be strong. Ferrari stronger than their bad races, maybe a podium. Hopefully Massa revives and is able to snatch some Ps from the Mclarens who have a lot of work to do, maybe havent really sorted the diffuser quite yet. Not the best conditions to be trying out new parts...

But with the rain, the race will be anyone's...

Na, Ferrari are simply fast here. S3 is all about mechanical grip and that is F10 territory.

Faster than the Redbulls by 4 tenths all the sudden? Highly doubt that!

me too!

Ferrari may be fast enough, they've had a good car in the prev 2-3 races. Good for a challenge, but how many times have cars been 0.5s faster than RB only for them to lash it out in Q........... i think it will be close with Ferrari and Mclaren. They both have to wait for RB to make mistakes.
