Had a great day today... Everyone seemed to be quick at some stage. After p3 Schumacher looked to be well and truely on it. There was a buzz around the track at that stage, and then webber!! Good result for him in qually too! Shame he lost a bit of time in the middle sector, I was watching the live timing on my iPhone, it was a huge help! At one stage I had people leaning over for a look or asking me who was doing what. What happened to webber in that middle sector?? Mistake? He had purple splits for sectors 1 & 3. Schumacher seemed to lose his racey pace in qually. The cars just still not quite up to the pace of the RBR or Ferraris?? Or perhaps varying fuel loads? That's the kind of thing that can be hard know at the track.

Wise words RT @stephencgrant Dullest things about daily driving are traffic, refueling, hybrids. Yet this is what F1 needs to be exciting.

iirc it wasn't a personal best for webber in s2. He had purple yellow purple according to the live timing app.

indeed, i wonder just how much Hamiltons hooning and the shit that went along with it messed with his head. It seemed he just couldn't find a good rhythm within himself. It's funny that he and Benjamin Button were the ones to beat on friday and then after the hooning dramas he was struggling and Button was still fine.

given McLaren are looking at making their own i'd say they know how to make it legal like RBR have, and McLaren have with their driver comfort duct. This is where F1 is at it's most interesting. Not so much the on track stuff as the off track stuff.

That link shows the sector times and webbers 2nd wasn't his best.

[Edit] Look how slow the red bull cars are in a straight line!

given the other Renault cars are a lot higher up the speed charts you'd have to assume the RBR's are running a fair bit more downforce. I'd love to see them with a Merc engine.

John Bowe (GT Category) is a fucking wanker ..... who leaves a car on the track on a blind curve-straight. Ban him from motorsport ..... never liked the dick.

Yeah, I can't believe where he left it, the commentator picked it early.
