Circuit opens in less than an hour :-)

Here are some useful links.

Timing sites:-
Williams have a nifty timing site here

This Greek site often struggles with the load, but its worth having to put up with reloading the page, it pretty much always comes back. A neat feature, you can click on the driver to get all his lap times for the day so far.

Blogish sites:-
The Autosports site is always popular and gives lots of stuff for the English fans.

Quirky and interesting stuff here at FOFA's Facebook page, you can comment and they have Reps at Barcelona so there might be some interesting stuff pop up here.

This is a nice amalgamation of various Twitter accounts all in one spot. Use the config button to select who's tweets you want to see. They include the teams, popular journos and drivers etc.

Are HRT now running their new car or not?

Also seems like it's Renault's turn to have a mega unreliable day...

HRT is running their 2010 car.

Renault tweeted today's problems were in their KERS software.

There's so much ploy going on in these testing sessions. Apparently, teams are throwing huge cloths on the cars as soon as they arrive into the pits in order to hide the rears, etc from the eyes of others.

I never trusted testing an inch since 2004. McLaren were demolishing everyone at every track they hit in testing....and they were a backmarker team for the first half of the season. :bs:

Why oh why is testing not aired :(:( !!!!

Is this the final testing venue or is there one more?

I think RB had very little/few tweaks to make too stay at the front but thats just a guess. '10 they did not have the class of the field aero but the chassis is where they won the Lotto, remember that old saying "don't try to fix what is not broken?" :yes:

There's supposed to be a test in Bahrain too, but god knows if that'll actually go ahead at the moment... seems unlikely.

Snooze. If it's going to be a red bull whitewash I might not bother. :yawn:

I guess you might have to try and entertain the shocking possibility I might be wrong, :hehe:

Seeing as I've started guessing team rankings, I'll continue.

I think Mclaren really have their work cut out for them.

Think Renault have made a step forward, along with Sauber.

Mercedes? I dunno,

So if your favorite team is not giving every other team a 'whitewash' you would tune out, I thought you liked F1 for what it is? Not a very sporting attitude or outlook imho? I'm not picking on you specifically just your reasoning but that is your choice to make.

But it is boring to have domination?

I read what you wrote and no I myself do not think domination is boring. To me it means that a team has achieved a higher standard on their chassis and team strategy. Alot of people preach about how awesome McLaren was back in 1988 but I was not bored I was on the edge of my seat and I am a Ferrari guy.

If I was concerned about a 'whitewash' of a season and decided to tune out I would not have witnessed this, get what I mean now?
