What happened in FP2?? Are the front runners trying out rain set-ups?

Nope.

The cars that were designed to be low drag are now surging to the front...

[Scotracer]

Go Adrian, Go!

Nope.

The McMercs, for example, were fast in Hungary and are fast once again. True that BGP or even RBR don't have the same resources, but still was expecting something more...

He has the best line through the chicanes and Parabolica.. It is going to be an easy win for the #1 driver!

Jos is back?

[PlatinumZealot]

Read the name tag...

[timbo]

The only name I see on his overalls is Johnnie.
Is this Lew's real name?

From watching FP3. Have Ferrari got a new rear-wing end-plate? It cuts in on the anterior side just after the wheel.

Also Red Bulls rear wing looks really small, it's not got much angle at all. Either that or it's just very short.

It's been like that all year. The cut allows more airflow in over the beam wing and diffuser to improve their efficiency.

Aigo maybe?

PS: looks like BMW pulled out of F1 in the middle of Q2

Thanks Scotracer. I hadn't noticed it for all this time

Does anyone know why Sauber is talking into a mic? Does he commentate on a channel?

Bmw's Heidfeld is out. Engine troubles. BMWs reliability is down this year. He'll be on his 8th new engine in the race.
Kubica is out too with an engine problem too. Will he be taking a 10 place penalty this race? Ted says that was his 8th new engine the blew.

Lewis on pole. Sutil in 2nd (those FI's love the low DF circuits).

Both Red Bulls into top 10 aswell, with the low running they've done. 9 and 10th granted.

Fisico has done a decent job at Ferrari, better than Badoer at least.

Looking forawrd to tomorrows race
