Hahaha! Time to look smug that Lotus look better prepared from the off (just need to find some speed and get rid of Trulli really....)

At least this track has some nice bumps under breaking, anyone remember Klein (i think) back in his red bull yeah catching one and plowing in a barrier?? :D

Oh yeah and drivers arnt best pleased they kept the late in the australian day thing again http://www.itv-f1.com/News_Article.aspx?id=48024
 
3 hour morning show, 2 hour re-run? Seems a bit crap, assume we miss the preamble.

Clocks go forward this weekend too but doubt 7am will be seen.

He's got one less reason to moan after Practice 1, after consistently posting the fastest times in what must be the surprise of the session.

No real indicator, I know, but even team-mate and rookie Petrov posted times that left the other 'midfielders' in the dust. Williams in particular.

Roll on P2...
 
Yeah i saw, feeling foolish about my hope for williams this season already :(

Then again everyone runs different programmes in p1 to p2 and so on so im still thinking Renult are having a headline for today (though they didnt look too pathetic last race).

I hate being up at this time for things out side of F1...
 
Morning, the random people watching the practice dont look to excited about the rain for so i doubt much is happening for the next 20 mins... (hopefully as thats how long i have to have the stream off for)
