Buemi almost rolling it :eek:

Can imagine his mechanics will be cursing at that one, bouncing over the gravel a few times sideways... Not really what they are designed for. :|

Seemed to be caused by something fairly minor too!

As MB says, Ambition over adhesion.

Sticking a wheel off track under braking isn't really a minor thing, it is never gonna be pretty with that much load.

Agreed. He was way to far onto the dirt.

Fp1 or the upcoming Fp2?

You can watch fp2 it on red button,BBC website and tvcatchup.com

Fp1 should be on iplayer.

Didn't realise they put it on iplayer! Doh! All this time missed out on the friday practice...

Thanks, catching up now

They were saying that JB was testing a new rear wing and LH had the old one on...

Not really sure how much we can read into it but JB was half a second slower.

Sounds about right for JB.

Not made any difference then?

The new wing gives a better boost to DRS but has less overall downforce. The old has less of a boost to DRS but has more downforce.

Without knowing how much they both had the wings open its difficult to draw any conclusions.

Someone's unplugged Ant and Crofty

Aaaand back again.

Chandhok was at the bottom of the timesheets but is now improving. He's up to 20th with a 1:38.765. Here's more from our very own Ted Kravitz: "One amusing bit of trivia on the new Team Lotus driver is that strictly speaking, he is not allowed in the pit lane as he only has a 'paddock only' pass." Right, get me the number for security...

God these cars sound nasty off throttle.

Anyone care to make a prediction for quali?

I predict that Mclaren will be beaten by both RBR's and both Ferrari's.
