I'm going to watch FP1 via stream so I'll be in chat just for the hell of it.
Oh, one thing, again more stuff that I've not talked about given all the goings on. The little front mounted camera pods that Ferrari, Mercedes and others used last year and used in practice session this year had been deemed illegal after Barcelona. That's why you'll see the odd new mounting points this weekend.
I just posted an image of them in the Merc thread.

Toro Rosso stated that they feel it's the best car they've ever put on the grid. They may be a darkhorse indeed.

Button also said the 30 was the best McLaren he drove so far
I am not sure which is worse, the chassis has become the best but the engine is 3 secs off
Or the engine is so good that the team have to find 3 secs in the aero and chassis
Mags said he was on low fuel when he set the only indicative lap so far
Let's face it we need to hope it's the engine otherwise the media are gonna have a field day

Yes I heard mags say they'd only run low fuel in testing. I think they're In trouble.

Well they're already doing close 2013 pole times in FP2, so these cars will be in the 1:25s in tomorrow's qualifying.

They improved a lot a lap between FP1 and 2

Pole record seems to be 1:24.4 in 2005 by Schumacher with the V10. These are the little engines that could, for sure.

Watching FP2 today it was clear the Ferrari, Vettel in particular pushed the car to get the time he did. It seemed like a handful to drive. We won't know until tonight what happend when the gloves come of in qualifying but I'm not ruling out Williams nor am I ruling out Red Bull along with Ferrari as the trio that will be battling for the third step of the podium consistently.

WB, I find the distraction happening behind the Mercedes pair to be quite delicious. Much to prove between the new Vettel/Kimi/Ferrari merger...the Danny boys over at Red Bull...and a Williams that seems to have been caught by the aforementioned teams. Plenty of story lines and not enough pop corn. Bring it! Such bitch'n fun.

I caught a rerun of P1 and P2 and I'm annoyed with how many times I confused a Force India for a Mclaren.
