Lewis is smashing ROS's time

1.38.7!

And was going a lot quicker until his little spin there!

What the hell was that? Rear's just locked.

Gp3 race is after this session for a change this weekend, will be interesting.

McLaren replacing one of the rear wheel hub assemblies on Kmags car apparently.

Pastor's car has a knackered battery.

Lewis's spin looked a bit rear snatched under braking ?

Can't believe Rosberg is that much slower. Apparently his setup didn't work yesterday so has copied Lewis's.

Williams are going to reinforce their 3rd place in the WCC over Ferrari I reckon.

GP3 @ 10:35

I see DC has come dressed as The Joker today.

According to Jon Nobile KMag needs a gearbox, so 5 place penalty.

Circuit has had a complete charm by-pass. Looks like it's set in a giant car park (memories of Las Vegas!)

God awful circuit - looks so easy for drivers. No challenge, No spectators
And let's face it - what F1 fan is going to travel there to watch the race. Poor tourist facilities and difficult visa control.

Tell that to the GP2 boys, qualifying was like watching wrc, they were sliding everywhere.

GP3 race is pretty dull - mind you GP3 races aren't the best indicator

Today is the one year anniversary of Maria De Villotas passing.

No way... Where did that go.

I think the actual site looks good personally, even the circuit itself looks like a bit of a challenge, but because it's enclosed by walls like Valencia it looks more characterless than it actually is imo.

[MGJohn]

Yes, enclosed sections everywhere.

I suspect most of the drivers like this circuit though. They are having to learn and adjust quickly as the Turbo cars appear much more demanding on their skillshere.

At least he's not in his favourite white jeggins.

Just seen Alonso's take on F1 safety on BBC. Well said that man and the others.

More race incidents perhaps.

I presume Tilke couldn't move the walls away from the track?

No space, its basically a street circuit like Valencia or Singapore.

[007 VXR]

I like the track, and think they have done a great job

[sebhaque]

Lovely piece on KMag on the BBC. Hope he gets a drive next year, Boullier isn't giving much away.

[DanielSan]

So whose going to make the mistake and drop it when it matters?

[007 VXR]

Think LH will walk away with poll and an easy win imho.

Rosberg, Q3, when he's already on pole.
