THE OFFICIAL SPANISH GP THREAD WITH SPOILERS

[kevin ritson]

Do I have to do all the work for you?

So.....McLaren do the business in practice, but are Ferrari sandbagging? And will the 'lead drivers' regain the upper hand?

Of course it's the start of the European season so will the battle of the motorhomes threaten to take the headlines?

[FourWheelDrift]

I was watching the FP2 practice times and until the final 3mins (excluding fastest Alonso and slowest Albers) there was only 1.5secs covering everyone else.

For those who are yet unaware:

Results for Free Practice 2 (www.formula1.com/race/result/773/29.html ):



Renault has been running on low fuel loads, but still impressive. Perhaps they will oust BMW as the "best of the rest".

Until the race starts...

He was slower in practice session 1 too. Even so far this weekend.

[skeggysteve]

Just checked the ITV F1 website for the tv times.

On Saturdays 'show' they list this:

" In Saturday's show:

- Ted Kravitz reviews the season so far from a British perspective...."

Wonder what that going to be about then.

What the hell have they done to the circuit. It is suppose too introduce over taken, could someone point out where about that is going to happen, because I cannot see it. And to make matters worse, it was the best part of the track.

I think it's to slow the cars down just before the final straight so they can follow closer into the straight and overtake into the firs corner.

Good point, But I also think it has got sod all to do with racing and allot to do with advertising, It make for great close-up shots of the F1 cars, which will inturn let everyone see the sponsors logo's. What joke this sport is turning into.

Awesome. That boy knows how to drive one lap!. Eat Ferrari Dust!.

[heebeegeetee]

Wasn't that exciting! What a great season its shaping up to be. We know we're in for a flat out race tomorrow between the top four.

Massa continues to impress me whilst Kimi continues to dissapoint. In that press conference Massa looks so hyped up and focused, as though he knows he has finally got where he wants to be and nothing, but nothing is gonna get in his way. Meantime, Kimi just looks shagged.

I still don't think Massa is a really top driver, but I'm delighted as he continues to disprove that. Certainly, there is no no.1 driver at Ferrari at the moment, is there?

[stephen300o]

the new track additions should work (in theory) as the last bends rely on mechanical grip rather than aero grip so should be able to attack into first bend. Is it me or is Lewis getting cockier by the race.

[Eric Mc]

I have to say this season is exceeding all expectations. Even the qualifying sessions are exciting. Is it my imaginations or are all the cars moving about quite a bit more this year?
