What time is FP1?
Not sure I can get sky this season. So some races will have to be the channel 4 catchup . I might investigate that pay as you go. Does anyone use it? I think it's about £10 a race weekend but I don't know how it works.

I was watching FP2 for a while earlier, Rosberg crashed his front wing into the wall and had to park the car by the side.

"FP2 has just finished. Again it was rain hit, again Lewis topped the times. The BBC live timing wrote this as the session finished......
As is the way, Albert Park is bathed in sunshine now that the chequered flag has fallen.
The interchangeable weather meant it was a bit of a write off today, but there was an air of familiarity with how things panned out for the two Mercedes drivers.
Lewis Hamilton spent much of second practice relaxing, before popping out for a solitary timed lap and immediately put himself at the top of the timesheet. In contrast, Nico Rosberg crashed out of the session."
That crash by Nico damaged the nose of his car, it was one of the new noses that Mercedes hadn't wanted to risk earlier because they don't have A lot of spares.

Lewis looks so comfortable and made it look easy.
Impressed by McLarens step up and also force India still look very strong

It was his new wing, with the s-duct.

It's awful. Even Toto said it was rubbish, and all the commentators.
Drivers can only do one or two laps on the crap tyres and there's no time to go in and change them.
And you just watch the timing screen not the cars. Really bad.

But congrats to Lewis on his 50th pole!  |

And you just watch the timing screen not the cars. Really bad. It makes me sick. Even saw me agreeing with Christian...I think I.Q tests in F1 may need to be implemented. |
