    And it's only a practice session to fix little quarks or whatever but when the element of sector timing enters the scene it takes on a different feeling.

    Carol

    And guess who's running 1 and 2 - "It's time to tune in your live timing to the Wurz-Davidson show!"

    Massa's getting to work early. Sad to say but they need all the laps they can get.

    Hadn't thought about that but you're absolutely correct. Kubica is usually right up there also.

    Wonder what happened to Jani in S2 - he shows stopped and caution flag is out?

    For reference the best time posted in the Friday session 1 in 2005 was 1:25.967 by Liuzzi

    Is that Winkelhock dude related to the sportscar and F1 drivers with the same last name who raced in the 80s?

    Session is almost half over and at least Kimi isn't showing "STOP" - that's a good thing.

    I guess we'll see what happened to Jani when SpeedTV comes on in a few hours.

    Did you guys see the Ferrari 612 P4/5 on the cover of Autoweek? we're a little slow getting mail here, we still operate via Pony Express.

    Almost looks like the Birdcage 75 on the cover view; the exhausts coming out between the tail lights is different - no room below with the enormous diffuser.

    Oop's back to live timing.... just in time to see Kubica STOP in S1...

    Kubica has stopped. Jani too.

    Villenueve is pounding in the laps. Will someone pls wake up Heidfeld ;)

    And this is a first ... Alonso has left the pits before Schumacher ... Renault is usually the last to hit the track.

    Hi Sam - I think Button has taken over that spot of last to hit the track!

    I'm surprised that Villeneuve put that many laps in this session. I'd think he would be saving his engine so it didn't go kaboom right away! Now Coulthard has entered the scene.

    At least he could do an installation lap? Of course you are right about the engine .. he is using the Sepang lump

    That's a storming lap by Massa - only 3 secs off the pace :)

    Kimi is out ... hold on to your exhaust manifolds :)

    Ralf's Toyota is moving right along too.

    I'm surprised Webber hasn't been out - especially for his home crowd.
