Clipsy - I think they were doing a race run

Yes,race that has 16 rounds

[raymondu999]

That's what most teams do in free practice. Do a stint simulation.

[Mr Alcatraz]

Maybe Redbull had a problem with DRS this morning. Sure they will be in top 5 Sunday,

That's going out on a limb :-"

MS last stint have 14 round, and he have 2-3 sec/round faster time then RB

yea with DRS open all time. mix2mix is right!! but after practice we know sure Merc will be in top 5 Sunday with 1 car

Still hard to say. RBR could be running a race start simulation, and maybe Mercedes last stint.

RBR could be carrying 150kg of fuel vs MS 15-16 lap.
FP3 (if dry) will give a complete different picture.

[raymondu999]

We don't know at this stage - it could be accurate - it could be false. That's all I'm saying. Weather; fuel effect etc would all have a part

and she's comin' back...........

In FP2 I was standing down-track from the fast left-right of T9/10, and kept an eye on who was using DRS down towards Ascari..

(quali-style) DRS users: Schumacher, Alonso, STR, Force India, Caterham, Marussia.
No DRS: RBR, McLaren, Rosberg, Massa.

And a few I can't recall..

Seeing that, and then later noting the times, it's clear to see why the times ended as they did.

Earlier in the session, I noticed the Saubers and the STRs were incredibly twitchy on corner exit. Constant corrections needed by their drivers, particularly Vergne & Kobayashi. Perez & Ricciardo are definitely smoother looking drivers in their respective handfuls!

...And the 1st round of the McLaren intra-team battle goes to Jenson.

[Adrian Newby]

Boy, she could really use a shave!

The other one's cute, though. What's her name, Abbey?

Zing!

As much as it's nice to have Hamilton's friends in the pits. I think Nicole is bad luck for his title hopes. Felt like something bad is going to happen to his race when she popped up on camera.
