Yup, terrible. Perry asked him about 4 questions and I am positive he gave the same stock answer to each question. I nearly chainsawed my tuds off.

Surely, it can't be as bad as this...

Morning people

P3 is on

Nico just on soft tires and has a suspension problem
Now Lewis has backed off as well..NOOOOOOOO

Pwww All ok with Lewis car..Nico out of his car.

Floor being taken off Nico's car now.

Alonso does 1.35.3 to go top.

Is there a hole in the Ferrari side pod on the edge near the opening, or supposed to be, Alonso's car looks like its got a bullet hole in it, not spotted that before.

Never noticed. Ferrari could have a 1-2 in Q3 today. BBC back on in 50 mins

15 mins to go to Q1 Come on Lewis

 

[Skeeter]

I'm going to bet on there only being 8 hot laps set in a fairly quiet Q3...

 

[Guerrilla]

Hope the tyres don't dictate the race to the degree people are talking about


Could happily listen to Chandhok talk about F1 for hours

 

[knip]

Ello everyone.

Did anyone else wanna go run and push the skypad tv over then?

Watching qualy but gonna miss the race tomorrow cos I am on a boat in the Bristol Channel. Gonna have to record it and try and avoid things.

Wish sky would stop with this "how to watch f1" advert, we all know now you buffoons

Same here. Lovely chap as well. Absolutely loves F1 and he could talk about it for hours.

 

[Skeeter]

Yeah he's the kind of guy you want to go for a pint with and talk racing.

 

[deuse]

I would use the soft tires for Q1 and use the same set in Q2 so I would have a fresh set of hard tires for the race.

 

[Skeeter]

I dunno about ruining the race, but these tyres have ruined qualifying.

 

[Mr Men]

11th place will probably be as good as pole here

 

[Duke]

This is going to get interesting. Wonder how many will use sorts as it was about 1.5 quicker?

Looks like some are doing just this.

 

[Flibster]

Took them long enough. Still only have half the drivers on track though.

I still prefer the 2x12 lap sessions for qualifying.

 

[Skeeter]

I still prefer the 2x12 lap sessions for qualifying.

When we went 40 minutes without a car on track? No thanks.

 

[Mr Men]

I still prefer the 2x12 lap sessions for qualifying.

Indeed but make it so you have to set a time every 15 mins or you get DQ

Great effort by Bianchi. Williams looks like another dog.
