Malaysia Grand Prix 2012, Kuala Lumpur - Race 2/20

the rain man commeth!

When was it they stopped using spare cars?

@King Damager

I wonder what the issue is with webbers starts. They have been horrific for quite a while now. Surely they could rent out an airfield for the day and get him in the RB6 (I think they are allowed to use cars that are two seasons old) for some practise surely?

So taking into account the clocks going forward, what time do we have to be up for the race tomorrow? (If watching on sky)

It starts at 9am right so is that 8am? as in I have to get up at 7:40? (What will be 8:40 by tomorrow)

 

[Skeeter]

Race starts at 9am BST. Put your clock forward an hour now and set your alarm for 8:40.

Hi guys, hows everyone doing? Interesting season so far and looks like it could be tight for a while.

Thanks, I hope the HTC desire doesn't do it automatically!

if it is set to get it's time from your provider then it will. I just set a timer rather than an alarm. That way it WILL go off at the right time regardless of what the phone automatically does.

Mercedes only 2kph faster than the Lotus, clearly enough grunt in the Renault engine.

How much downforce the car is running will have a greater effect than the brand of the engine.

F1 downforce is king although strangely less equates to greater straight line speed to an extent.

Doing good apart from the fact that both Grand Prix have been really early in the morning = bad starts to the week!

Also been intrigued by how you guys are developing your car in season now that you've compared to the other teams surprisingly good performance.

 

[Domo]

Come on Schumi. Get on that podium tomorrow...

I would love this to happen but i think the Merc is still to harsh on its tyres.

Maybe a few races into the season, it will become a reality.

MSC clearly looked delighted to be in P3 for the race tomorrow though.

Ha! brilliant

Morning guys, had to set my alarm extra early in case I got the time thing wrong, all wide awake

 

[Type_R]

Morning chaps. Cannot wait for an epic race! Is it raining yet?

 

[Flibster]

Currently looks like a 30% chance of rain - about 5mm of it, if it comes.

 

[Freakbro]

Morning

 

[Andr3w]

I'm awake for it, stayed round a friends last night and we are going to have sausage nurture and a champagne breakfast

 

[Flibster]

Espresso machine on to heat up.
While I'm waiting, big mug of brewed coffee.
Will be doing the bacon and eggs later, until then I have flapjacks.
