anyone got any ideas about track conditions for FP1?

raining and expecting to be pretty quiet

The Formula 1 iPhone app is AWESOME! We don't get P1 coverage and I can sit here and watch the timing and get live commentary. Sweet.

Kobayashi looks to be doing a good job filling in for Glock, Kazoo's future looking dimmer & dimmer

Isn't it odd that Glock became "ill" and was replaced by a Japanese driver?

Kobayashi today.

Super different exhaust designs and suspension mountings. Among other things of course.

[JamesS]

Bah, got up an hour earlier to watch it rain.

But that would make no sense as Trulli, the guy definitly leaving, is still in the other car.

You'd bump out the guy leaving for definite not the guy who you you may resign.

according to gpupdate.net: "With Jarno Trulli having been under the weather to miss a Toyota promotional event in Tokyo on Tuesday, German team-mate Glock is now a victim of a cold and fever, believed to be picked up through air conditioning; Timo hopes to run in Saturday's qualifying session but is currently recuperating off-track."

The Kers advantage on this track is supposedly insignificant, even without the wet conditions. If it rains today and tomorrow then Vettel has a good chance of hanging on to his title chances, and Id much rather see the championship being decided on the last race rather than this one [-o<

as would i, But He pretty much has to win all 3 of the last races. If he does not score 5 points more than button this weekend he is out of it. I think our best chance for a End of Season Climax is RB and JB.

Man i love this track, Really cant wait for the race on sunday!

He'd have to score 6 more points than Button to stay in the fight...which is a tall order IMO, not impossible but hard. (As he can't be level on points at the end).

I think this circuit will suit the RB5...but it won't be a walk in the park.
