The pit buildings are lovely

What's Nando done? Haven't been following particularly closely.

No not really as i like that track but it was the 1st street track that came to mind.

I just dont think this type of track in the way to go, for alot of the track its just tunnels of concreat i just dont like it.

Rosberg just had a fast spin, which destroyed his tyres, and he chose not to pit?

I bet Webber's got soggies now.

//edit: Looking at TBK, one guys seems to think Alonso's under investigation for cutting over the lines going into the pitlane.

LOL, just as I'm typing, it comes up on a replay, and he certainly did cut them. :D

massive spin!

Team told him to stay out and see what the tyres were like.

Nice one Nico! I love this track, it's so fast. I'm actually glad it's not made from the existing roads.

Edit: Surely they wouldn't penalise Alonso for that would they? They should just warn the drivers after practise if anyone cuts it again they'll get penalised. Or if they do it in the race at least.

The Massive black spots on them weren't enough then, lol.

Lots of drivers are losing the rear end, and I only just started watching 5 minutes ago! I wonder if this will be like Albert Park in terms of how there's low grip throughout the entire weekend?

I was quite disappointed with the track after watching first practice, but it's growing on me. I love it now that we're seeing drivers push the cars closer to the limit.

Looks like McLaren doesn't have the pace with super softs, ferrari seems faster and Kimi and ferrari have worked a lot with Kimi's quali speed so will be interesting to see how it goes.

Massa was at 1:39:976 and then Kimi done 1:39:679, Massa betters to 1:39:769 and then Glock does 1:39:967.

Under 1:40 its always 6, 7 and 9

For once, they seem to have chosen good camera angles. That's a bit of a shocker. You can really feel the speed of the cars, whereas at most other circuits they seem to place cameras in the perfect position to disappoint you.

I'm really happy to see Kimi back on the pace in practice, all year he's been lingering in 4th or 5th.

BUTTON :| :O :| :O

Awesome session :D

interesting session, looks like the control tyres are the kiddies this weekend. Superb for Jenson.

The fast final sector is hairy when something goes wrong, Adrian, Nico and Nick are lucky boys!

---

Go Alonso, but more importantly, GO JENSON :D!
only practice I know, but when was the last time you saw a Honda in the top 6 of any practice???
A good lap with a mistake on the final corner !
Kimi does look like he's back on it, him and Massa going at each other well lol.

What was that Toyota doing slowing down on an acceleration point???!!! Its a good job Nick saw and didn't collide!!!

edit - how f*cking fast is the track btw !!!!! it looks mental! I love it!

---

"Trulli was slowing down like he wanted to have a picnic" LOL

I could not watch it but is it the case Mclaren done their super soft run early in the session?

I dont think any of the times are relevant yet at all the fact button is so fast and the fissi.
