Little exited at the moment as there is a chance that I may be going to Abu Dhabi GP at Yas Marina in Nov....
blah.....the track is always a boring place to be. You never know what's going on until you get home and watch the replay.
Yep that is the norm for me, even this year I had to ask who won the F1 race as had to get back into pit lane with the Caterham car before the crowds invaded the track completely.
FP1 1 4 Lewis Hamilton McLaren-Mercedes 1:37.106 7 2 8 Nico Rosberg Mercedes 1:38.116 1.010 14 3 7 Michael Schumacher Mercedes 1:38.316 1.210 14 4 15 Sergio Perez Sauber-Ferrari 1:38.584 1.478 13 5 14 Kamui Kobayashi Sauber-Ferrari 1:38.911 1.805 12 6 2 Mark Webber Red Bull Racing-Renault 1:38.977 1.871 15 7 1 Sebastian Vettel Red Bull Racing-Renault 1:39.198 2.092 12 8 3 Jenson Button McLaren-Mercedes 1:39.199 2.093 6 9 16 Daniel Ricciardo STR-Ferrari 1:39.748 2.642 16 10 17 Jean-Eric Vergne STR-Ferrari 1:39.768 2.662 14 11 5 Fernando Alonso Ferrari 1:40.056 2.950 14 12 6 Felipe Massa Ferrari 1:40.153 3.047 14 13 19 Valtteri Bottas Williams-Renault 1:40.298 3.192 8 14 12 Nico Hulkenberg Force India-Mercedes 1:40.328 3.222 13 15 18 Pastor Maldonado Williams-Renault 1:40.540 3.434 12 16 20 Heikki Kovalainen Caterham-Renault 1:41.071 3.965 14 17 10 Romain Grosjean Lotus-Renault 1:41.204 4.098 14 18 24 Timo Glock Marussia-Cosworth 1:42.330 5.224 14 19 21 Giedo van der Garde Caterham-Renault 1:42.521 5.415 11 20 11 Jules Bianchi Force India-Mercedes 1:44.118 7.012 8 21 22 Pedro de la Rosa HRT-Cosworth 1:44.227 7.121 10 22 25 Charles Pic Marussia-Cosworth 1:44.500 7.394 15 23 23 Narain Karthikeyan HRT-Cosworth 1:47.204 10.098 12 24 9 Kimi Räikkönen Lotus-Renault 1:50.465 13.359 11
That is a good result so far for Daniel Ricciardo. Raikkonen in the Lotus! Yikes, Lotus - Lots of Trouble, Usually Serious.
Due to Lewis getting 5 spot penalty, it's the first Mercedes 1 - 2 since 1955 for Moss and Fangio Pos No Driver Team Q1 Q2 Q3 Laps 1 8 Nico Rosberg Mercedes 1:36.875 1:35.725 1:35.121 11 2 7 Michael Schumacher Mercedes 1:36.797 1:35.794 1:35.691 13 3 14 Kamui Kobayashi Sauber-Ferrari 1:36.863 1:35.853 1:35.784 13 4 9 Kimi Räikkönen Lotus-Renault 1:36.850 1:35.921 1:35.898 15 5 3 Jenson Button McLaren-Mercedes 1:36.746 1:35.942 1:36.191 16 6 2 Mark Webber Red Bull Racing-Renault 1:36.682 1:35.700 1:36.290 14 7 4 Lewis Hamilton McLaren-Mercedes 1:36.763 1:35.902 1:35.626 14 8 15 Sergio Perez Sauber-Ferrari 1:36.198 1:35.831 1:36.524 17 9 5 Fernando Alonso Ferrari 1:36.292 1:35.982 1:36.622 17 10 10 Romain Grosjean Lotus-Renault 1:36.343 1:35.903 15 11 1 Sebastian Vettel Red Bull Racing-Renault 1:36.911 1:36.031 11 12 6 Felipe Massa Ferrari 1:36.556 1:36.255 14 13 18 Pastor Maldonado Williams-Renault 1:36.528 1:36.283 14 14 19 Bruno Senna Williams-Renault 1:36.674 1:36.289 14 15 11 Paul di Resta Force India-Mercedes 1:36.639 1:36.317 14 16 12 Nico Hulkenberg Force India-Mercedes 1:36.921 1:36.745 14 17 16 Daniel Ricciardo STR-Ferrari 1:36.933 1:36.956 14 18 17 Jean-Eric Vergne STR-Ferrari 1:37.714 8 19 20 Heikki Kovalainen Caterham-Renault 1:38.463 9 20 21 Vitaly Petrov Caterham-Renault 1:38.677 7 21 24 Timo Glock Marussia-Cosworth 1:39.282 10 22 25 Charles Pic Marussia-Cosworth 1:39.717 10 23 22 Pedro de la Rosa HRT-Cosworth 1:40.411 7 24 23 Narain Karthikeyan HRT-Cosworth 1:41.000 10
