The weather forecasts show boiling hot today and tomorrow and heavy rain for a large part of Sunday. Anybody read/heard differently?

0.25 slower by the end of the session is pretty good assuming both ran to the same program given her lack of experience in the real car.

yeshttp://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/28363226

Good job and a decent run after the 4 laps at Silverstone FP1.

Saturday 32C plus, but dry.
Sunday 28c dry, but an increasing risk of thunderstorms later in the afternoon.

I can't help myself...

And even faster than him in the pit lane..... wink

But whatever way you cut it, putting in similar laps to someone who has so many hours in the same car is quite something.

Which many of the Friday drivers manage to do. I'm happy to wait and see but nothing can be judged on one session of around 20 laps.

It's notable that the Williams cars are both further down the grid than they have been in earlier Practice sessions. Let's see if that remains the same over the weekend.

There are definitely more lock ups and mishaps this week.

Lack of FRIC does seem to have messed up the balance on a few cars more than others. Lotus and Toro Rosso look to be struggling.

There was me worried that moving to Africa loudly mean the end of F1 viewership. Nope smile DSTV carry all F1 shows (all practise sessions, quali and race) as well as support programs. The best bit? They use the BBC feed and commentary and it's all live biggrin nothing better than sitting in the wilds of Tanzania watching the F1 hehe

Quite ironic that here in the UK where we have to pay the license fee for the BBC, they are only showing highlights of this weekend !.

Can't see anything than a Mercedes win this weekend again, but should be a good battle with the rest with Ferrari, Red Bull, Williams & McLaren all showing improvements over the past few races.

Sky coverage is starting to get on my tits now as it is rapidly becoming the Lewis Hamilton show. Lewis farts and they spend 3 hours analysing it.
