The Official Chinese GP Thread 2012***SPOILERS***

Mclaren with the slightly off square pit box..I didn't think they could do that.
Nice idea mind.

[llewop]

yep - woke for FP1, then fell asleep during it!

Did you see Ted's bit about McLaren setting up their pit box wonky because Red Bull mechanics were always in the pit lane hampering the entry! - had noticed it in the previous races, wonder if they'll eventually introduce a box around the box for how wide the pit crew can set up?

Just catching up on the red button, why is the picture so bad? It's like constantly watching slowed down replays. Dont normally have this issue with my TiVo box.

Great to see the onboard helmet cams
Wonder how Mercedes will do this weekend?

[y2blade]

Watching it here

[Streps]

Thought the wheels were going to fall off then!

Dear Lotus... PLEASE give Kimi a reliable car. No point in it being reasonably fast if it's as unreliable as a Renault Laguna.

[Streps]

Felipe.
Fernando is braking further than you. Can you confirm you understood that message?

[norfolkscooby]

Massa P17, this is getting as embarrassing as Rossi & his Ducati. Feck I bet VR46 wouldn't be far off Massa at the mo!

[y2blade]

Go Schuey
Go home Massa

[nice audi driver]

I'm looking forward to qualifying after Lewis's performance in FP1!

Didn't manage to get up for FP2, is it on a looped repeat on red button? I thought it might have been last year but don't remember!

Rossi in a red car? It would be great. He tested in January 2010 after winning the 2009 MotoGP championship and did pretty well.

The temperature was quite a bit cooler than expected, so the usual suspects went to the top of the time sheets for these conditions as they get heat into the tyres pretty well. Once it warms up we'll see a bit clearer I think.

I watched the red button on BBC. I thought Algersuari (sp?) was very open about his comments.

I didn't know that some teams have automatic DRS for quali.


Sky+ footage is on now. Where's Damon? Was his comment about Bahrain and contracts a comment too far?

He's only committed to doing half the races this season, Johnny Herbert is doing the majority of the others I believe.

Just watched FP1,funny comment from Timo Glocks engineer "Do you need any clean underwear Timo?"
Don't like this new commentator that's paired up with Algersuari,whoever he is,he's rubbish!
