last year Vettel had Luscious Liz and Randy Mandy.

this year he has call his RB7 Kinky Kyle. I thought Seb gave his cars girl names?

McLaren always show their hand early,as RBR and ferrari don't.Still think the McLaren's will be 5th-6th on the grid ,fingers crossed it's higher than that.I know it's early days but they might not be as far off the pace as some first thought.With the new design they have and the speed in which they normally improve I believe they might be challenging by mid season'Hope i'm wrong and they get a 1-2 ofc .
Can't read too much into this I know but those bottom three teams look a country mile behind,even further than last year.Although I would guess they would be working on more of a race strategy than flying laps.

Maybe Seb's keen on Kyle Sandilands?

Anyone else thinking the form book hasn't changed one bit.

It still feels like it's, Ferrari, Red Bull and McLaren at the top. With Mercedes and Renault close behind. Then the mid-feild, and then the 3 new teams. Then again. No one knows until quali tomorrow, (if it's dry)

I don't know, I think Renault GP have slipped back and Williams have pounced into their position nipping at the leading pack's heels.

Nice to see that big grin on many red bull andferrari faces is only flying at half-mast now. Mclaren clearly not in any more trouble as the teams around them.

Might not be as fast, but that werent their concern, theyve completed lots of laps without car problems, and finished P2 1-2, never a bad thing to do.


I think they completed the most laps today, interesting to see Jenson finish ahead in both too! Also, Perez looks to have have Kobayashi in his sights.

Why the hell are Hispania incapable of even getting the car out in practice?

It's really tempting to start reading into the FP times, but i know it's totally futile to be doing so. However the Red Bulls look like they're running on rails from the onboard shots, and the same can't be said of most of the other cars.

I have a feeling several cars won't be making 107% though. How is that measured under the qualifying format we have now? Against the best time from Q1 seems like the fairest way of doing it....

This Tifoso is smiling more than I have all year, and we've had a pretty good start to the year.

Agree that it is very significant that Jenson has been the faster of the Macca's in both sessions so far. Still, tomorrow get serious and, as Nando says, we'd rather win on Sundays

Well then i can only assume your smile has been non-existant all year

Massas also been close to Alonso in the times rather then off on some trip somewhere, although he has locked up and gone off track more then enough so far.

Seriously worried that Jenson beating Lewis might become a trend, and that Kobayashi might lose out to Perez, being my two drivers and all....

It is indeed against the fastest time in Q1

[Robert12010]

virgin doesn't even look like it will qualify for the race which would mean hispania has no chance.

I think Timo might drag the Virgin inside the 107% mark but ya a total disaster for him. Virgin have built one sh*t car.

And HRT? :rofl: I think they will need a 207% rule. :hehe:

HRT have to Build 2 cars first before even think about quali :rolleyes:

I feel bad if timo can't qualify for the race, he totally deserves better.

I feel terrible for him. His best years are being wasted at the back of the grid. :(

His gamble to join a new team at the end of 09 has officially backfired.

207% rule :rofl:

enjoy your FP2 headline times..... :rofl:

The only unpleasant surprise so far is seeing Massa slightly struggling for grip/control, he looked very confident on the testing track......

I could not stay awake for practice so I ask if RB is looking dominant and who were the top 5?
