Most of the "experts" think that this will not be one of RBR's stronger circuits owing to the lack of medium-high speed corners. Its a track for straight-line speed, braking and traction... Expect McLaren and Ferrari to be realtively stronger here...

Oh right, could be an interesting weekend then! Mind you, the experts also said that RBR wouldn't be strong in Monaco either and well...

They weren't both McLaren and Ferrari were faster but conspired, for various reasons, to finsih behind...

Vettel, in first practice, has added the the "Wall of Champions" list of victims... If he's done the chassis he won't be out in second practice etierh...

Vettel was out at 2nd practice and made the best time (or was it 2nd?)
Mercedes ended far down the list.
Ferrari/McLaren look promising.
but it looks like another Vettel win.

Yup just a tad on the soggy side, as are most of the cars apart from the guys who bought their car a tent to hide beneath
Hmm.. might go and make myself an exotic drink to make some use of the time!

Oh man.. another half hour til the rain will stop .. I don't think I can make a drink which is THAT exotic

Who needs the video with BBC iplayer ? I think the BBC1 have been excellent to stay with it throughout, mind you I guess they are paying enough for it !
