well Iam at work with no ESPN ,but could get a stream.
Love watching the nigh races.
Hamilton well off the pace in first practise
Pace means nothing in FP1, especially on a drying track.
He could be running a full tank with others doing quali practice, means bugger all.
As for Sunday, I'll be watching the football; the night race looks impressive for a few laps then you remember the track is pretty shit. It's like a prettier Valencia GP.

I only saw the last few mins of it did not know it was a drying track.
Just thought 1.7 secs was a bit off the pace even for practise 1
Agreed yeah it might look spectacular but the race isn't really that good.
Looks like a Red Bull vs Alonso battle, deep joy.
Since when?
The Red Bulls & McLaren were lapping at the same time with full tanks towards the end of the second practice.
I'd hedge a bet that's a complete myth though
I reckon more often than not, the driver / sportsman / whatever leading going into the final few events of their profession ends up winning the day in the end
It certainly has its distinct pressures, but I prefer the saying about already having points in the bag than games in hand
Maybe I let my pessimistic side take over. The trouble I think for McLaren is just like it has been before, the race pace is there and they could fight for the win but the single lap pace is just abit off and with a few races left its not something they can afford.
From what I noticed the McLaren's were bang on pace with the Red Bull's in the 53's and then the Red Bull's dropped their times whilst the McLaren's did not, ofcourse we have no idea of fuel levels. Button seemed down about Red Bull's pace but Hamilton and Whitmarsh seemed ok with it so I guess its wait and see.
Wow they really have fecked turn 10 up, it was always bad but it's insane now. Expect an incident or two there tomorrow.
Vettel for pole here I reckon.

Schumey trying a spot of drifting
I can't disagree with Vettel for pole, he has to get it together from now really
Hopefully the McLarens aren't miles away from the Red Bulls, as otherwise they're in trouble for the rest of the season

red flag
Red flag, Massa stopped on track in a dangerous position
And they're both on 8 engines, didn't Alonso have similar yesterday

Massa engine broke before he's set a lap, that's him at the back of the grid.
that golf course looks fantastic to play
Hamilton still well of the pace , almost a second down on Vettel
Alonso goes fastest
a bit of race on during the race ,would make the track one hell of a one to drive well.
Did they even go back out?
Wow the HRT was popping little flames from the exhausts then, that looked ace
dont think he did , did a lap to get to Q2.
But still thought he would be closer to the lead than 1.7secs
He will be closer but the Mclarens have got no chance of beating the Red Bull's and Alonso in quali today, they are gonna have to fight Kubica for 4th and 5th.
Alonso with a problem?
that chicane is a killer get it wrong and your in a whole world of trouble
Hamilton with a 1.46.0
Hamilton sticks in a stunning lap
Scrap that I think McLaren have been hiding some pace.
I thought that to ,Q1 did not indicate he was that quick
Alonso's car looks OK now , wonder what the problem was
I expect the Red Bulls and probably Alonso to be quicker in Q3, but it's looking like a huge leap forward by McLaren since Hungary
Alonso faster than Hamilton
The McLarens still appear to be slower in the final sector
Vettel on a flyer
Most definatly, its the quick direction change where the Red Bull is mega.
is there any rain expected for the race ?
