Surely that's a wind up, especially with the line

We may also see a few hungry looking Lotus F1 Team members wandering around the paddock, and possibly a certain driver hunting down alternative ice cream resources…

No Ice Cream for Kimi this weekend then.

So, Bernie. A Majority of the the teams? That could be just 7 of them.
However, McLaren Red Bull and Ferrari are in with Bernie. Has FOTA not negotiated as a whole?

Red Bull, Sauber, Ferrari, Toro Rosso and HRT aren't FOTA members.

Will be interesting to hear when the full team lineup have signed.

No. It's real. They just seem to have a sense of humour this year.

Anyway, this bit about Williams F1 is amazingly dull.

We do the hospitality for teams in BSB and I must admit I am green with envy when I see the F1 Hospitality units!

So I feel for them...would be gutted if something like that happened to our unit

Right lady and gents...5 minutes to go.

Irish_Tom · 24 Mar 2012 at 08:01

Quali!

Freakbro · 24 Mar 2012 at 08:03

Will Kimi make it out of Q1 this time

Edit: looks like he's done it on his first lap

He's got a grid drop to take as well, so I'd hope he'd be trying fairly hard

Flibster · 24 Mar 2012 at 08:10

Anyone else thinking that Massa will be out in Q1?

Oh, I've missed that, what's the drop for?

Gearbox change. Went off track in Australia and it overheated the gearbox.

Ahh, cheers.

And as for Massa....shocking

No excuses for massa, he's got all the parts Alonso has including a new wing Alonso tested in fp.

Looking at the Times in fp3 I reckon we could see a non McLaren front row

If he don't do it on soft tires then he will be sacked very soon

knip · 24 Mar 2012 at 08:18

Can see Massa just scraping it.

Freakbro · 24 Mar 2012 at 08:19

Was that just the camera or was the front of that torro rosso wobbling like mad? :eek:

Everyone has been going on about not being able to change drivers mid season. Has no-one noticed HRT over the last 2 years? I'd expect the Ferrari contracts to be a little tighter than the HRT ones, but there's no reason why it wouldn't be possible.

They ditched Raikkonen with a year let on his contract, paid him a big sack of cash, but it's a method that works.

Mercedes said on Friday they they can't get pole and Webber expects and McLaren front row.

Georgies gone for the "going to the gym" look then?

She's not even brushed her hair properly!
