How come there's an hour delay before first practice is on BBC2?

[Carmo99]

Who's Jenny - seems quite competent.

Bye-bye V8's

Totally forgot Williams will be getting Mercedes engines next year. With this, Massa and Bottas as drivers, and some better staff such as Rob Smedley and Pat Symmonds in, I could see them being rather tasty next year. Certainly not back to their best, but overtaking lotus as the 'other' top 4 team.

Jenny Gow.

She did the beebs Moto GP coverage a few years ago and was awful!

Think she's been on motors tv and some other stuff since.

I suggested (on another PH thread) that next year Massa might out podium/points Alonso. I got laughed at.

Lewis down again in his FP interview with Ted! Needs to get his head straight before the race! I dislike the lad, but don't like to see him like this as it spoils his race, and an on form Lewis can be good to watch!

On the other hand, Nico is looking good! As in for the race, not a beauty contest

ted making up stuff about Brawn again

Don't think Lewis was down - more focussed on getting a good result?

Another good session from Heikki in FP2, hopefully the car won't have issues on Sunday.

Where's MG John when you need him?

Guesstimate 50,000.000/1

[Jayfish]

Really hope for rain/mixed conditions, McLaren's only chance of a podium.
The only time McLaren haven't had a top 4, let alone podium, finish in a season was their very first...

Would like to see a Webber, Button and Massa podium but I'd also like 30 degree heat in January.

Gone to the mg forums he still a regular poster over there and there less st on that site than this site.

[vonuber]

He's around; think of him as a munificent being benignly overlooking us all.

[Jungles]

Mercs looking very strong here in the wet. Could be an upset if the weather stays this way on Sunday.

They have Renault this year, the same as RedBull and Lotus, and not really done very well with that. But I also hope they improve. Williams, like McLaren and Ferrari always seemed to be a more genuine F1 race team not just a promotion tool, and F1 always seems more interesting when these teams are doing well.
