Didn't they bring the black tumbler to Silverstone when a team joined up with Barman Begins, too?

Can't remember which team it was, but they drove the tumbler around the track.

Barman?

Yep, Toyota I believe..

Rio in the McLaren simulator. Maybe our England squad should get a Penalty simulator . . . :rolleyes:

EddScott · 6 Jul 2012 at 09:33

And Lewis knows all about penalties

England get knocked out, Lewis gets 5 space grid penalty.

FP1 now started on Sky.

A month's worth of rain to fall over the next two days? Yikes!

Hopefully they don't go safety car mad. I hate it when they start behind the SC.

Ah the fond memories of Massa in the wet at this track a few years ago

And Hamilton who spun like 4 times.

What's going on with the BBC - the new player means that you can't now watch practice in full screen.

Full screen option is at the top right

Depends which month they are talking about

It is how I picture the British GP really should be though (the sunny days are just a novelty)

Ah Hamilton spun 4 times to win, Massa spun 4 times a lap... pre-accident Massa so it's ok to be disappointed by his complete lack of performance that day...

Caterham performance director john iley:

"I will be very disappointed if we don't see a half a second improvement in our lap time with our new parts."

Sounds promising.

What else did you expect?

deuse · 6 Jul 2012 at 10:31

They said on the BBC that 60% of a F1 teams budget goes on airo!
well to save money get rid of airo and give the car back to the drivers that will sort it for the lower teams.

Skillmister · 6 Jul 2012 at 10:37

So can we expect anything other than a soaking wet race this weekend?

Edit: I should probably have read more than just this page

True about Massa.

The new bbc player is rubbish. Black bars all over the place even in full screen. They say its so they can provide extra content. Yet they aren't proving any at the moment.

Surprise surprise its another rubbish development due to the Olympics.

There are a number of complaints about it already.

You could always pay sky £30 a race

The new BBC Player seems alright to me so far.

Edit: Spoke too soon the sound has started to stutter now

Bit moist down there!

Have you not got all the extra **** at the bottom?

I've had to go to the alternate version which is actually for screen readers.
