It is not a title sponsorship deal and the team's official name will remain unchanged for now.

poosemon · 28 Mar 2009 at 03:09

thanks....will have to see what other info comes out over the next week or so, perhaps more sponsors etc...

Well, there are plenty of cars currently on the track.

Button
Alonso
Rosberg
Massa
Heidfeld
Kimi
Trulli
Glock
Fisichella

Kimi is broken down, right now.
Rosberg is looking great as he aims to top this time sheet for the 3rd time in succession.

pingwing · 28 Mar 2009 at 03:24

So did Kimi just press the KERS button and watch his car die??

Dorje · 28 Mar 2009 at 03:24

Signs of Ferrari unreliability for the first time in a long time now too.

sunama · 28 Mar 2009 at 03:25

Hamilton goes 4th fastest.
The BrawnGP cars are at last doing some damage.

Though, Rosberg has just gone fastest.

This is fast and furious and the top times are changing almost every minute.

EDIT: now Nakajima goes fastest.
EDIT2: Barrichello just gone fastest!!!

Dorje · 28 Mar 2009 at 03:29

It's called the track rubbering in

Still over a second off yesterday's Free Practise times, so a fair bit of fastest times to go.

poosemon · 28 Mar 2009 at 03:33

lol at kubica moaning about hamilton putting dust on the track

sunama · 28 Mar 2009 at 03:35

One thing I'm noticing is that Heikki is consistently faster than Hamilton, so far this weekend.

Heikki in 3rd at the moment, while Hamilton is 7th.

Heikki just had a spin. I think that the McLaren is a very difficult car to drive and setup.
