Right I apologise about the numbers, I saw on another thread it was 21 and 22.

I think Ewman will have something to say about the Bruce Springsteen part though

i expected them to lock out the front of the grid ...white wash only for they facted as ive said before they have had that car for a year and a half ..... but who knows i didnt see them use softs or they may just be playing there cards close to there chest .....im deffo fancing them having a podium tho

Well conclusions from FP1:

We haven't got many answers yet, but the few we have had are as follows:

The softs are wearing off terribly quickly.
Brawn are indeed fast, but so are Ferrari.
Heikki is punching above his weight whereas Lewis is scrapping with the car. The Mclaren is looking Awful.
Red Bull continue Newey's fast by fragile approach.
Piquet is useless.
Have Williams been hiding performance? Nico looks bloody quick!

[Hanwombat]

Brawn, williams and toyota are pawning in practice

Lewis is having problems seeing the braking point, Both Mclaren and Ferrari are poor

[Rivelution]

Well I'm really impressed with Nico's pace, I'm glad Webber went faster than Vettel, Ferrari and McLaren are really slow are sandbagging quite a bit but i doubt it. BMW seemed to be struggling as well. I dont like having the race later in the day at all, it was kinda bothering me on tv so I cant imagine how the drivers feel. Stupid Bernie. Awesome save by Massa later in the sesh.

All in all this looking to be an awesome race, but i think it will be "The Diffuser Show."

[texasmr2]

I just finished watching practice but missed Nico's fast lap yet I agree this race and the entire season will be an 'edge of seat' affair. I'm a turd becuase I forgot that the times listed on the site I get my info from are eastern not central so I missed a whole hour of practice.

[cap-dude]

Piquet, Piquet. Spinning already. The cars are supose to be less stable this year, so I can't imagine how that going to be for him

Anyways, for those who missed it like me, BBC already have highlights of practice 1

[MAD MAX]

I didn't see any of the practice sessions, can someone give a summary please, was Lewis as bad as its seems p16 and p18

[iPod]

Who else thought that Croft & Davidson's commentary was really good today? I thought it was absolutely brilliant if I'm being honest.

...the same cannot be said about Maurice Hamilton and the guy from Fi. Was i the only person who found there commentary so unbelievably dull?

[DinoTheGreek]

Where do you watch practice .

[irons_4_ever]

its on bbc red buton now or channed 302 for free view people, just watching a red bull get carried of the track

Well this is just Practice. If you want to see them dominating the top of the timesheets, if it's going to happen, it will be in Qualifying

Incidentally, posting here from school is awesome
