Isn't 'living' being at the race itself?! :lol:


I have a personal decleration: I HATE SPEED TV!!!
They're not showing FP1! They'd rather show a stupid road race show than F1! WTF??

Just FP2 in four hours.

I need a link for an online stream site, pretty please! :D PM...

heya mx. Ive been to the last few Melbourne GPs, fun but expensive so im sitting this one out. btw if you think speedtv stinks you should try the treatment we aussies get from our 'dedicated' Channel ONE sports channel. they barely mention f1 all year except for this weekend (plus their commentators are incompetant).

Just an additional installation lap.

Chandok is now 0.011 s on P1

Kovalainen takes it down to 1:36.810

Hamilton 1:30.076

Kobayashi takes a pylon out and breakes his front wing off.

They get the red flag out to recover the wing debris

And it is green again with 44 min left.

Ha Ha. A. Davidson was asked to explain the stalling wing. So he says that "if you stall an aircraft wing it falls out of the sky, but a F1 has downforce rather than lift so when it stalls...." and then I can hear him think "I can't say it will fly, as that doesn't happen, so I'll just say it will crash if it tries to take a corner."

:)

BBC said FIA circulated a memo to all the teams explaining that they should take care as the virgin may run out of fuel before race distance due to the fuel tank specifically.

And Kobayashi's wing has just fallen off. Pillars broke off at the connection to the nose.

Kobayashi has a front wing failure and takes a ride out into a gravel bed. Second red flag.

Green flag at 28 min remaining.
