If someone said to me that you can have three wishes, my first would have been to get into racing, my second to be in Formula 1, my third to drive for Ferrari.

[quote="stefan_"]It's crazy when you think that they used to race on this part of the track. I would love to take a walk around the oval sometime.
its crazy steep around there, I loved having a walk around the old banked corners

I think I read somewhere that McLaren are running it again on Friday, like they did at Spa

F1.com is showing rain for Sunday. Some other sites are forecasting rain both for Saturday and Sunday :o

Again Lotus are bringing updates for only one driver WTF? This must be some kind of record, how can every other team manage it and they can't :lol: ? They refuse to divert from the path of failure, I'm sure that even less attention than usual will be paid to the car they won't be running anymore. Way to tackle fake constructors championship targets and delusional drivers championship targets. Contrary to what they were saying they're doing exactly the same as BWM - wasting their best season in F1.

Ricciardo's not smiling :o , tell that to the guy from silly season thread. Warm, warm tomorrow, chance of rain on Sunday:

I was looking at the live timing throughout the fp1 and nothing conclusively can be deducted at the moment.

I found Mercedes and Ferrari at the top, RBR a little bit slower. Than Lotus and McLaren. :)

Tells us nothing yet. Vettel was faster on half race fuel than hamilton by 5/10 and slower than rosberg by 1-2/10. Alonso was faster than all by 1s. Very different fuel loads obviously.

The two Red Bulls were at the bottom of the speed traps, almost 10mph down on Mercedes. Maybe they are set-up again with the short gearing.
