One minute to go to the start of P1. Twenty-nine cars on the line-up. Practice has just begun. Carol TRACK HAS BEEN DECLARED WET FOR THE FIRST PRACTICE SESSION. Davidson is atop with a 1:49.261.
Quite a few out on track but no lap times - well if you count 13 of 29 as quite a few. I'm watching live timing on one computer and on wireless internet on my laptop on FChat. Some dude named Sutil is in third; Vettel in fourth. <38 minutes remaining in session and I wouldn't be surprised to see Vettel on top before the session is complete. Alonso has been out but no lap time recorded - he had a 71.2 S2 time compared to 48.3 for Davidson! wonder what he's testing out for such a great difference? His S3 time was 33.1 compared to 22.4 for Davidson. No MS on track yet. Carol
<27 minutes and neither Ferrari, Toyota nor Button have been on the track. Only 7 with complete lap times. Carol
<14 and caution on course, no one showing as stop. No Ferraris and Davidson atop. Just showed Montagny as stop in S2. Carol
Session over - no Ferraris which I figured wouldn't be out - all part of the mental games. Top three are Davidson, Jani, Vettel. Carol
must be a boring session. has it stopped raining? it's 12.03 pm here in malaysia. japan is about 1 hr difference?
I usually go to sleep around 3AM. It's bad, I know, but I still wake up early. Gotta lot of good stuff this weekend. Florida - LSU college football, Buccaneers footall, and a BMW podium.
your in college? cool. so your heading for a friday there huh? i'm about to grab my lunch in a while here
P2 underway. It's midnight for me and the alarm dings at 4:00 - what you call a short night! They are still showing that the track has been declared wet this session even though the rain subsided at the end of P1. I suspect we will see Ferrari out during this one. Carol
I just started watching the session. Bon Varsha said that Sato was disqualified from the last race. I am wondering what could Sato have done? Get off of the dry line?, get of the track? I am not a Sato fan, but it seems he was just in the way and everyone should have gone around him.
He was blocking them up to that point. they said he was racing them insteda of giving way, like he should have.
I was wondering what should he have done, pull over to the right and slow down, or just go off track?
pulled off the wry line and give way. he wasnt even close to any one else so he wouldnt have given up a spot by doing so.
It's Bob . . . Fisi just set fastest S1 and S2 and goes to the top of the chart. Still 30 minutes to go. Carol
