That new Caterham nose, similar, but they've smoothed into one shape, instead of the wedge with the crash structure sticking out of it.
Clearly Lotterer's budget has been spent on some sandpaper.

It seems that Seb is unhappy...apparently it's not fair to compare his season with his teammates.

"Formula 1 can be nice but it is also brutal in that sometimes it will not let you have the opportunity to show what you can do.

“That’s why I am not interested in comparing too much because, on my side, it’s not fair to compare.

“Fortunately for Daniel, he had a smoother year in terms of reliability. I’m not saying a perfect year, but way less issues than I had, so I think it’s not entirely fair to compare.”

Very diplomatic from McNish about Lotterer! What an interesting weekend ahead.

So it would seem that someone with a bigger wallet than preferable to Max Chilton has come along and he has graciously given up his seat for the race. Hmmm.

Yeah, hehe indeed. Poor Seb. Getting over FOUR WDCs takes some doing. Must be difficult to deal with that.

Rosberg fastest in 1st practice, Hamilton slipping and sliding…
Rosberg cool as a cucumber, Hamilton falling prey to nerves again?

Or maybe the team are toying with highdownforce vs. low downforce setups?

FP2 time, for most of them...

"BBC F1 pit-lane reporter Tom Clarkson: "We're seeing a power-unit change for Sebastian Vettel. He did just 11 laps before reporting an exhaust problem so they are changing that engine. The record for that is three-and-a-half hours so he is going nowhere this afternoon. It's a problem for him because this circuit is all about confidence and he is losing that time now." "

Pastor's crashed, Vettel's car is broken, everything is normal so far...

Ted's a big fan of Horner's new beard. (or, as my mum once said - "are you hoping for a beard?")

Tom Clarkson interviewing Jos Verstappen in the pit lane.

Bets on Jos belting someone in the pits in the coming months/years?

For those of us at work and unable to watch the FP sessions, could someone explain the significance of this GIF please?

A Lotus mechanic, head in hand and walking off, because Pastor's crashed again, and they have to fix the car, again.

Ah ok. He appeared to be smirking or smiling, and I thought there might be some significance in that.

Not sure I like the new Bus Stop, although Alonso seems to have it cracked.

Rosberg 4/10th down.

Shame we didn't see LH's lap.

Is there a chance that McLaren might not embarrass themselves and their fans this weekend?
