Does anyone know whether its possible to get a feed on the net that updates with all the laptimes for all the cars etc? formula1.com done it last year IIRC, but i cant find it this year.

Cheers

Raikkonen will start from 22nd...
Or the pitlane.

Precautionary engine change may happen as well.

So...Going out when the circuit opens again will be:
Montoya
M.Schumacher
Massa
Trulli
Webber
Rosberg
Coulthard
Button
Villeneuve
Alonso
Fisichella

None of the above have set a time.

 

[Flibster]

Is the length of time the session is stopped for purely based on how long it takes to clean up the circuit and get the car concerned off the track?

Pretty much as long as it takes.

 

[Flibster]

LOL!!!

Super Aguri at the head of the pitlane.

 

[Flibster]

19 cars on track

All in a little train...

 

[Flibster]

They're all getting in each others way.

Live timing has come up "Please Wait ..."

I DONT WANT TO WAIT!

Button - fastest

 

[Flibster]

Currently getting the chop

R.Schumnacher
Albers
Monteiro
Sato
Ide
Raikkonen

20	Ide		1:37.411
21	Sato		1:38.868

[Flibster]

No real indication of performance there - was more like who's the luckiest bugger

 

[Flibster]

6 cars on track

Barrichello, Button, Coulthard, Klien, Liuzzi and Speed

 

[Flibster]

RPM gauge now goes up to 22. They're expecting them to go that high?!

 

[Flibster]

That Toro Rosso car is quick - surprisingly so.

As they said - the V10 will be bulletproof - they could probably run it for 3 maybe 4 races with no problems.

Alonso, Fisichella, M.Schumacher, Massa, Trulli, Webber and Rosberg still to go.

 

[Flibster]

Currently not qualified
Luizzi, Button, Coulthard, Speed, Alonso, Fisichella

 

[Flibster]

1:30 remaining...

 

[Flibster]

Rosberg spins and backs it into a wall - he's out.
So is coulthard...

[Flibster]

Fisichella, Barrichello, M.Schumacher, Alonso, Montoya, Webber, Button and Klien on track...

Only leaves Massa and Heidfeld.

 

[Flibster]

Lap time's undoubtably going to slow now, final session underway.

Race fuel now in the cars so yup - it will be slower...

 

[Flibster]

Tiger Tokens! Cool.

Wonder if you can trade 6 laps for a wine glass?

ROTFL!

Barichello fastest at the moment, Alonso 2, Fisichella 3

 

[Flibster]

So for all Max going on about fuel economy in the future, we now have cars going around for 16 odd laps just to burn fuel - great.

Pretty much.

It's a great idea - like the change to V8's to save money - total cost of development of the new V8's - about 1.5 billion apparently..

Oh..and the tyre suppliers now having to carry more typres around the world - that'll cut costs.

Michelin are apparently carrying 35% more tyres this year as opposed to last year - they've got less teams this year as well.

Fabulous.
