So who is going to be up for Friday morning Practice tonight/tomorrow morning? ...I certainly will

To make this a little more interesting, who do you think is going to be quick, or indeed slow? My bets are that BRAWN will be quick, with Ferrari very close behind. Toyota and Williams won't be far behind too. McLaren will be nowhere, and probably at the back (with a grid penalty).

but will there just be one mclaren driver haha!

What happens if lewis qualifies last again and then they give him a 10 place grid penalty? Does he have to go way back down the track all by himself?? The FIA wud love that, maybe they're planning it

I'll be attempting to stay up...

You said 'last again' - when did he ever qualify last??

Don't worry, the FIA won't be that lenient (they feel offended and will be harsh in their judgment) with him and 'only' demote him 10 grid spots at the start. It's probably going to be a race ban for one or two races - chance for PdLR to shine

Well he started last in Australia, it was gear box wasnt it. So if he'd got a ten place grid penalty then, where wud he have gone? PdlR will be no good! He's ok to test it but we cant have him and Heikki.

Yeah, but he never qualified last (in fact he started 18th because of the Toyotas being demoted) - me thinks Speed said the quali position (15) in Australia was his worst qualifying result in F1 ever. Regardless, they simply put you at the very back of the grid.

I think if you read the new rules, Lewis will start from Australia and then would have to drive somehow to Malaysia at the start of the race because this is as far back as you can go.
Or LH will start from the pit with his tires off, no one can touch the car, green flag drop, LH gets out of the car, mount the tires, pick up the lollipop stick, wave it around, get in the car, wait for a 25sec penalty, Ron Denis will be blind folded and he will have to make his way to find the lollipop stick to wave LH off.

I know he was 15th and the toyotas in the pit but on the grid he was last.So if that happens agen he wont go anywhere, waste of a penalty, poor FIA, that will traumatise them!

Yay! Ted Kravitz in the Pit lane this time! That other woman was pretty balls in Australia in my opinion.
