The real problem is tomorrow night when the clocks change and i get paranoid about something going wrong leaving me to miss part of the action...

I'm actually counting down the hours til quali now, how sad is that?! :hehe:

Rising number one of Formula 1, Juan - Juan, one wonders should Juan only win one Formula 1 one year, would Juan have won that one in round one, Juan??

It's still way early but the McMoose looked solid. It looks they will beat Ferrari yet again because Massa seems lost,uncomfortable, and like he just got in an F1 car yesterday,which is awesome news for Maca fans :thumbup:

Bring on 2011
We might not have the best car,but we certainly have the best drivers :thumbup:

Hoping for two things only for tomorrow:

1.Red Bulls are not mile ahead and are pretty even with others

2.McLaren is right up there with Ferrari and RB.

I believe that Q starts at 7am BST; it starts at 1am US central time and the UK is 6hrs ahead!

Actually scratch that; the UK hasn't moved into BST yet; so Q will start at 6am!

We move this weekend. what a poo weekend to move!! have to get up even earlier! And when do we move? Just have to go with the BBC times i guess.

Thanks! I was thinking about the move to British summer time as well and yes, what an awkward weekend to introduce it on! I believe it begins sunday at 00.00 so I still do not know when to wake up the race!

sat Quali starts 6.00 am
prog starts at 5.00 am (clocks have not yet changed)

Sunday race starts at 7.00
Programme starts at 6.00
(clocks need altering forward an hour at 12.00 sat midnight) so we lose an hour in bed.

If you dont change your clocks you'll miss an hour of the race.

Gee that took some working out!!!!!!

We've had our DST for a couple of weeks already, one less thing to think about. And to think George W Bush signed that bill into law that got us the longer DST period. I remember all of funky IT hoops we had to jump through because of that, lots and lots of software patches.

I've been reading up on the 107% rule it seams that Virgin and HRT might DNQ.

This based on the practice times of course

Pfft, "seems" nothing. HRT will be lucky to get under 1m 45. They were never gonna make the grid.

Virgin have a slim chance, but it's verrrrrry slim.

HRT want it to be the 1070% rule.

the pirelli tyres leave a lot more discarded rubber around the track than the brigdestones, could make overtaking in the race a bit dicey.

I can't vouch for whether they'll work or not; I'll be watching the BBC coverage via a UK VPN (paid service).

Virgin will be borderline to race tomorrow

Best time from yesterday was 1:25:854, 107% of that is 1:31:863. d'Ambrosio and Glock only got 1:32:106 & 1:32:135 yesterday. HRT are certain goners.
