I reckon the question should have been...

How drunk will Flavio be during the interview later on?

el_dazza · 13 May 2006 at 12:57

Better be a boring quali session, i've got a driving lesson now

Flibster · 13 May 2006 at 13:00

Session 1 underway.

R.Schumacher first out.

Flibster · 13 May 2006 at 13:04

Sato currently fastest - even ahead of the Toyota of Ralf

Flibster · 13 May 2006 at 13:05

Raikkonen on track.

Flibster · 13 May 2006 at 13:06

That McLaren looks fabulous in the spanish sun.

Raikkonen take the no1 spot. Fastest in all 3 sectors...

Flibster · 13 May 2006 at 13:07

Coulthard is in the wall and has trashed the rear end of the car

Both rear wheels and wing and engine cover mashed at least.

Sorry, did I hear you right? I'm sure you said Sato was faster than Ralf :eek:

Yup - Sato - 1:20.257
R.Schumacher - 1:20.567

Session red flagged with 7:29 remaining.

Exactly half the session done.

Looks like the gearbox/engine may need replacement as well...that would have been a nasty impact for it to survive...

Rear right is totally smashed, rear left wheel looks intact - although it's hanging once it's been lifted off the ground.

Session restarted

Might as well take the change, he'll be last anyway.

Villeneuve has not left the pits yet.

Currently in the cutoff zone.

Villeneuve, Coulthard, Heidfeld, Button, Barrichello, Rosberg

Flibster · 13 May 2006 at 13:16

Trulli's Toyota looks really nasty - understeering everywhere....

Plus they don't handle the bumps - so...

Soften the front suspension, add more camber and add a little front wing and just soften the rear end slightly.

rpstewart · 13 May 2006 at 13:19

Or go back to Michelins ?????

Flibster · 13 May 2006 at 13:20

Dropped - Coulthard, Montagny, Sato, Albers, Monterio, Speed

Look at the flex on those flow conditioners on that Williams...

Thats a lot of movement...

Flibster · 13 May 2006 at 13:31

They've got one of those flying camera's on wires...

That will provide some cool shots.
