Rosberg using black camera T-bar? Thought red and fluorescent yellow was the norm for all teams.

EDIT: even JB, SV and Kimi have a black T bar. Might ve been a stupid question on my part

Any ideas as to where pole will be? I'm guessing they'll shave maybe a second and a half off if it's dry. By my reckoning it will be on and off wet tomorrow, enough to make it a lottery qualifying especially since it will be windy and cold(for the tires). Sunday will be cloudy, sunny, albeit very windy, the first few laps will be very chaotic. Unfortunately so will the end with the sun setting and the track cooling off making tire degradation worse than normal. Whoever gets any sort of sunny running will be fast because the track will come into it's temperature range.

Today's practice time was more due to conditions improving than any pace advantage. Further complicating matters is the high probability of inclement weather skewing tomorrows results.

There is restriction on DRS for qualifying this year, so that should slow down the cars.

I'm wondering if we'll see times go down to 1:26:500 or lower.

As of 2013 and onwards the primary driver will be black/carbon fibre coloured and the secondary to remain as fluorescent yellow...mods please move both of our posts to the 2013 Australian GP thread

The difference in fw flex between Ferrari and Merc/RBR is incredible.

And I'm glad that the NBC commentators pointed out that Sutil is beating Di Resta by quite a bit, officially in FP1 and so far in FP2! I'm surprised and glad, after a hiatus I didn't think he would be that competitive, but it's impressive.

Yipppeeeeee I have the video feed ....ferrari looks in trouble on the super softs....hope they carrying tons of fuel.....interesting comments by MW from Macca that they are struggling

[Mesteño]

Seems like a new Red Bull season, uh?.

[mx_tifoso]

Webber and Vettel battling it out for the top spot! With Vettel just dipping into the .25's

[rssh]

Merc and RB look nailed to the track (like point and shoot) I was a bit apprehensive about the Merc in testing but they have impressed me . The Ferrari (including Massa) looks best of the rest after RB and Merc .

The Macca is running too stiff ,bouning all over the place . Lotus is a car which I cannot read , its shows sign of pace but then too much understeer in the last sector .

[StrikeForceF1]

Ahhh lost the kive feed again....this is so frustrating

[Lorenzo_Bandini]

Red Bull is way way way faster than everybody.. It's shocking.

[Raptor22]

Merc look good but the slower car is consistently 0.8sec slower than the fastest times thus far. They've clearly made up some pace over 2012 but it looks like could be around 0.5 off the pace in the race.
