Great to see Hamilton back on form, hope it holds for the race. McLarens looking very strong - doubt Button will be jumping out of Vettel's way in this race either.

Glaucus · 15 Oct 2011 at 10:22

Yep great to see him up front.

And those cars are now neck and neck or at least here. Nothing between them.

To much to hope for a 1-2 for mclaren.

Good session, actually very tight, doubt the saving of prime tyres will have much effect on tomorrow, with some luck!

Wonder if vettel will get a penalty for cutting out that section on his cool down lap.

why did he cut it?

Didn't seem to be any reason.

Engineer was saying make it a quick in lap, so cutting it would save time. But then he was totally off the throttle all lap.
:confused:

£5 on hammy getting fastest lap.

What's dual forecast?
100/1 Lewis & nico
What does that mean?

Button hoping Vettel is not penalised in order to start from clean side of track.

Every lap we do, we drive across the right hand side of the grid. I don't think we have driven once across the left hand side yet, so the odd numbers should have an advantage. It is a good drag down to Turn 1.

Vettel didn't receive a penalty as he wasn't deemed to gain an advantage.

clutch lap from hamilton

bring on the race

Flibster · 15 Oct 2011 at 11:37

*sigh* When was the last time anyone was penalised for leaving the confines of the track?

Remove the tarmac and put gravel traps back. Or concrete walls...

The answer to the above question was Nico Hulkenberg, Singapore 2010

MooMoo444 · 15 Oct 2011 at 11:47

I think they should wall off, or put those nasty speedbumps in the spare parts of track. Then things like this wouldn't happen and everyone would be happy.

surround the track with a lake, if you go off you sink.

An idea to keep drivers on the track...

Spike pits, fire pits and flippers to send the cars over like in Robot Wars?

leashed tigers?

anyone know a good sidebar gadget displaying F1 live result/standing etc? would be fab to have this on side with iplayer

cheers

you know of live timing?
http://www.formula1.com/live_timing/
open it in a window and have it next to the iplayer window its what i do for races qualifying.

you can spot stuff before brundle and dc do

sometimes the live feed is a few seconds behind the live timing though
image shrunk a lot obviously but you get the idea

Great drive from lewis. Should be a good race tomorrow

Mike_P · 15 Oct 2011 at 14:17

Button for the win again, Redbull seem a little concerned about tyres, Ferrari seem a bit too far off and we all know Hammy can't keep his properly.
