    Track has been considered "wet" but is just very slightly damp, as the drizzle is very, very light. Lewis Hamilton is already running with slicks. The drizzle may come back during the day...

    Yeah, bought a 760 and 760 roadster. Couldn't choose ;) (and then I woke up).

    Just representing :D

    Aye, no tax, beautiful women of many nations, no hateful poor people, f1 coming to your doorstep, col de turini rond the corner... My kinda place! Only downside I can think of is lack of garage space and those irritating car spotter types who run blindly across roads in hordes of 50.

    Nice and tight at the top of the time sheets with a good mix of teams - Merc, STR, RB, Ferrari. Excellent to see.

    McLaren nowhere as usual… :(

    would be great fun if MV could put some manners on LH.
    Just needs the Toro Rosso to be a little quicker

    Yap, it's great when a new kid shows such promise, we rreally need a talent out of the ordinary, since Shumy the only driver i ever saw with some "extra bright" was Kimi...but he lost that spark after leaving Mclaren (only comes around at Spa)...we really nee someone special, i hope Max can be it....

    What's even more impressive about maxs performance is that he never once drove around monaco. Never raced around it and too young to own a license...

    Mornin' all. Didn't bother with FP1, and it's still o-dark-30 here. Not even the birds are farting yet.

    Early in FP2 (red flagged right now) & it seems we're getting closer to Noahs Ark again; 2 x Mercs, 2 x Ferrari, Danny Fiats Can, then 2 x Baby Cans (!)

    Raining a little now, and nobody will go out in it round here. Think I'm going back to bed..... Oh.... my bad.... Loldonado goes out!

    I dunno about that..... Seems they're solidly in the midfield, which given their start is pretty good.

    Cheers,
    Ian
    PS - Bas - Where's the "Spoilers" in the title? [Amateurs. Should leave it to Speedy! ;)]

    They should let me have a go then, I once did an entire race without crashing into the barriers at Monaco... (I'll ignore my countless other attempts at racing at Monaco without crashing once:D)

    Understood!.... :)

    Debating between coffee or back to bed right now. Weather radar saying it stop pretty soon, but I doubt it's going to dry enough for them to play.

    Cheers,

    Is it just me or is it a bit disappointing that during the NBCSN coverage of F1, Honda runs a commercial stating how proud they are of their participation in Indy Car?

    Nbcsn is awful in general. Will buxton is so darn annoying and always speaks during radio communication broadcasts. Ugh
