Just been informed that there may be a problem with one of the other cars and it may require an engine change...

Sadly wasn't told which. :rolleyes:

*crosses fingers...*

Any news on the other engine change?

No one actually knows by the looks of it - it seems that someone was worried by a potential problem and was looking at getting an engine change - but no-one who will talk to me seems to know if it's been changed or not.

So ...errrr....

Watching the interview with Fernando. He really is a nice guy and although I support Ferrari and Michael and would be very happy for him to win the world championship. He is a breath of fresh air for the sport and would be great all round. Dont get me wrong MS is a great guy, but he doesnt show much of himself to the public.

No comment as I've worked with both of them..

Flibster · 3 Jul 2005 at 12:49

Makes a nice change being down the back - anyone surprised by how good their English is?

I can't say anything in Portugeese and not much in german *That is a cat...yes, that is a cat...*

Looks like only Raikkonen had an engine change...

Air temp now 30°C
Track temp now 51°C

Flibster · 3 Jul 2005 at 13:00

Nope - saw the first one - saw how much of a shambles it was - haven't watched any of the others.

There's a car overtaking another car...we don't know who it is but I'm sure we'll find out.

Flibster · 3 Jul 2005 at 13:02

Button locked his front left wheel on the parade lap!
