Bahrain GP 2009 - BIC

[WhiteBlue]

Good morning from Munich as well.

Bourdais is on track. The talk at Bahrain is about Sunday weather conditions. We have sandstorms predicted. This is likely to match rain in tyre traction and visibility. Based on previous practise I would think that the race will run but it will be very scary in terms of conditions and engine handicap.

Kimi just spun it on track.

Morning from Edinburgh. These early morning practices are starting to get to me

But hey we've got Kimi to perk us up

[xpensive]

Just wondering, would it be obvious to use slicks in a sandy conditions?

[WhiteBlue]

Probably intermediates I say!

[CMSMJ1]

I should think so xpensive. the rubber is so soft and hot that it will still get as much grip as anything else even on the sandy surface.

I also agree that these friday practices are manna from heaven for us addicted F1 fans!

[xpensive]

I was thinking intermediates as well WB, but will they last?

[WhiteBlue]

Strange that the Brawn GP cars are not at the front.

[xpensive]

Not that strange at all, if you had trusted my ramblings..

[Ciro Pabón]

Well, good morning (morning? it's 3:00 am down here) from Bogotá.

[WhiteBlue]

At the moment it looks like McLaren have made a big step and will be in contention.

Good morning Ciro!!! Nice to see you. Can you see the action?

[Ciro Pabón]

Good morning, WB! Long time no see "directly". If you call this action, yes, I can see it. I have to use justintv, my cable provider doesn't broadcast practices.

[WhiteBlue]

Now Jenson makes an appearance. he must have a problem comparing to Rubens in 3rd.

[Ciro Pabón]

So did Barrichello.

[Motley]

FOM have introduced the 'Line Comparison' overlays, which rock...

[WhiteBlue]

yeah, KERS makes a big difference there
