So who has the nicest looking car? I still recon virgin looks awesome.

Red bulls nose cone looks incredably fat on the straight shots where you get the front profile.

Barsteward BBC have locked down their live practise stream to be UK only. Us Gibbos used to be able to view it. Poo and week. Not the same looking at the F1's live timing site

http://mclaren.com/home was just mentioned, kinda cool.

BBC just said mclaren website has live timing as well as live gps tracking. Not sure if you have gps at the moment. Isn't it on some local tv channel?

The HRT looks to be a real handful, like driving a plate of jelly.

The GPS tracking is kinda cool, I just took a peak!

Good god that cars a dog, wrestling it at that speed.

Time do some more house moving before next session.

Haiku · 12 Mar 2010 at 08:35

The new section of track looks quite fiddly.

No real local channel, just the usual BBC/ITV's + Spanish channels. Ended up watching it with a combination of f1.com live timing, a jerky p2pstation feed, and forum updates. My f5 key always takes a battering during practice sessions

Dup · 12 Mar 2010 at 08:56

When is it back on? Missed the first session thanks to house sitting in a house with no internet, or phone signal, or much else

Ah, 11 till 12.

Type_R · 12 Mar 2010 at 09:12

Just checked out the Mclaren website, it looks superb with detailed Tel and commentary! Ill definitely be keeping that open during sessions!

Tilluss · 12 Mar 2010 at 09:15

And it's go go go for the 2010 F1 season!

Sry i couldn't resist

Webber is a nosey bugger isn't he, great pic of his head stuck in the mclaren cockpit for the start of the season shots: http://www.formula1.com/gallery/race/2010/824/general/friday.html

If I were a driver, I would be doing exactly that, though I would be more interested in Ferrari's cockpit as they seem to be consistently fast wherever they go.

Yeah its great to see everyone focussing on the Mclaren which seems to have a lot of innovative things on it to get it moving fast, whereas the relatively simple Ferrari is awesome everywhere!!

Webber's looking at the Mclaren's cockpit because of it's ability to stall the rear wing.

He was actually looking for his watch. It fell in the cockpit you see. He was trying to weigh the McLaren down.

Ferrari and McLaren seem to be on the pace then. I would be surprised if either are showing their true hand yet.. especially McLaren if they are getting unwanted attention.
