Any more links, a stream perhaps? :p

I remember there was a dutch website last year that was good for live timings during tests, any one got it?

Oh yeah I remember that one, it used to call Massa "Bulk" :D I'll try to find it.

Looks like some impressive pace from the Virgins. I know it's far too early to say anything meaningful about real speed but it sure is nice to see them sitting midfield even at this stage.

Its their old car, same as the Mclaren and HRT which are on track today. They'll just be picking up data on the new tyres.
 
Is it just me or do most of the cars have narrower rear ends than last year, there seems to be lots more of the cars floor exposed.
 
It's a typo :) was meant to be 1:14 but yeah the proof reading has gone to pot at the BBC as of late. Keep seeing spelling mistakes and typos when watching the news in the mornings.
