Apparently it is using "Java by Renault" this year balmybaldwin (01:21) Right.. ill watch the first half hour only. Meeting at 9 tomorrow Richard T (01:21) Williams pitcrew looks like space troopers in their new headgear Lord Snooty (01:21) @andy: my live timing is still showing last seasons race from Brasil...

Paula Radcliffe? Grayson (01:27) This is going to be an exciting season... The next 90 minutes might not really reflect that, though. balmybaldwin (01:27) Suzie looking good in the new kit Brawn BGP 001 (01:27) suzie again. Lord Snooty (01:28) suzie is the new bacon? balmybaldwin (01:28) Nice tyre temp sensors on the ferrari nose jonpollak (01:29) Suzie seems a bit attention starved.

Lord Snooty (01:31) KnucklesAgain (01:31) I went to an Ikea and in the bathroom department they had the toilet seats covered with a request that the patrons please use the actual lavatories downstairs. rghojai (01:31) Wow. We're back. Lord Snooty (01:31) yay: we're off study (01:31) renault engine out!! rghojai (01:32) I think like all Club International enthusiasts, Suzie is starved for the attention of zesty women. Lord Snooty (01:32) both williams on track... study (01:33) williams too much white Fudce (01:33) shh, I can't hear them! Richard T (01:33) You know what.. on telly...

Andy35 (01:34) 100db rather than 130db apparently KnucklesAgain (01:35) Merc hehe Fudce (01:35) Hamilton stopped Brawn BGP 001 (01:35) hamilton stop boost (01:35) lewis stop Richard T (01:35) Ouch hamilton bystander31 (01:35) Lewis smoking balmybaldwin (01:35) Hamilton stoppedcand smoking wrighty (01:35) forum meltdown at 01:35? jonpollak (01:35) Hammy.... Season over Gemini (01:35) Sound Richard T (01:35) Like Jezza say: smokesmokesmoke Fudce (01:35) Not a nice place to stop either Lord Snooty (01:36) Hammy? KnucklesAgain (01:36) Whiting may actually need to think about what to do if everyone drops out of the race rghojai (01:36) Unreal Lord Snooty (01:36) so much for the bullet proof Mercs.. 4L3X (01:37) WHo would have thought? Richard T (01:37) "Engine Kill" = No show in P2? balmybaldwin (01:37) Glad I stayed up now. What a start to the season Fudce (01:37) Knuckles - they've already said that they could possibly red flag the race if there are no cars running. No official regulation though KnucklesAgain (01:37) I do think they should keep it going and wait for teams to reemerge after mad scrambles in the garage. The hilarity Brawn BGP 001 (01:37) don't think seb will get out this session either. Grayson (01:37) Knuckles - it won't happen, but I thought that the rules were fairly easy if it did... The driver who goes the furthest is the winner and anyone who goes 90% of his distance is classified. f1fastestlap (01:37) LT working guys? Grayson (01:37) Or is it more complicated than that? balmybaldwin (01:37) Great shots of the redbull packaging there wrighty (01:38) i'd still rather be in Hamilton's position than Vettels..... KnucklesAgain (01:38) That's what Whiting said today IIRC Richard T (01:38) I hear grinding in the backround Fudce (01:38) Ted - "Red bull is illegal, no front cameras" wrighty (01:39) lol Fernando looks quite happy with himself Andy35 (01:39) That's the Rb dremmels Richard. Bernie put on an extra 747 for all the attachments...... meister (01:39) w hats going on with live timing? what a joke Brawn BGP 001 (01:39) Gutierrez borrowed on old Lewis helmet? balmybaldwin (01:40) Nothing to time? Lord Snooty (01:40) So Big Ron is stalking the pit lane again.. boost (01:40) are the cars on track.. cant hear anything GVera (01:40) No split times this year unless you buy the app Brawn BGP 001 (01:41) all in the pits meister (01:41) wtf what a joke Andy35 (01:41) You're joking I hope Gvera. What about PC's ? Richard T (01:41) Wonder who Christian is texting... Lord Snooty (01:41) @boost: the only thing i canhear is an angle grinder in the red bull garage as they mod the body work on the fly.. Fudce (01:42) The app looks decent, and is a lot cheaper than previously rghojai (01:42) Wow!! NASCAR and Indy car have their share of issues, but they crush F1 with -- free -- live timing. BullHead (01:42) They do sound quieter than i thought they would GVera (01:42) PCs get a nice yellow, green or purple dot instead of the split time meister (01:42) is there an app for pc users? GVera (01:42) Just try it now and you'll see meister (01:43) christ so u cant even pay for pc app? balmybaldwin (01:43) They should turn the commentators down rghojai (01:43) Odd that they would need to be grinding now? Andy35 (01:43) well that sucks Gvera. Has anyone got an illegal stream for the app ?@ KnucklesAgain (01:43) See the forum thread, meister. Apparently it runs in an Android emulator GVera (01:44) Only app fpr Androind and iOS, and not even available on all countries. I tried to buy it and it's not available here in Uruguay meister (01:44) what a pathetic joke. Andy35 (01:44) That means I might have to use the Nexus 10 as well .. and pay out money .. bah. bernie's lawyers obviously costing him money... meister (01:44) the cars are so quiet rghojai (01:44) It would be funny if they were playing with grinders just to mess with people. KnucklesAgain (01:45) meister: no worries, the android app is really bad Brawn BGP 001 (01:45) engine sounds good on that onboard meister (01:45) onboard sounds terrible Richard T (01:45) Onboard the red bull sounds cool! wrighty (01:45) (live timing ok on Sky F1 thingy, also splits etc) Fudce (01:45) Will he be the first to set a time? Will (01:45) how long is it going to take to replace an engine? Fudce (01:45) YEs! Andy35 (01:46) The engine sound is like that from a Formula 1 game from the 1980's. KnucklesAgain (01:46) Why does FOM not figure out the sound if Bernie is so concerned? Every mobile phone video from testing had better sound. Onboard sound not bad though, but the TV mix sucks, commentators much too loud Richard T (01:46) Will: 4-5 hours i read! Fudce (01:46) That McLaren looks fast even when stationary KnucklesAgain (01:47) Like the McLaren sound, but again bad mix Brawn BGP 001 (01:47) also when will they get the car back? Richard T (01:48) The noses doesn't mind anyone i think rghojai (01:48) So that's one of five for Merc? I lose track of how it works with repairs, if any are allowed, etc.? KnucklesAgain (01:48) What are the superscript numbers for the tyre info in the app? GVera (01:49) Number of laps Brawn BGP 001 (01:49) how many laps the tyre has done Fudce (01:49) Not sure I like the random "Align Right" on the driver nametags, including the car number KnucklesAgain (01:49) Williams livery too white for TV GVera (01:50) Yes Knuckles, Martini stripes should be bigger balmybaldwin (01:50) Bloody adverts Fudce (01:50) Williams didn't design a car for TV. They designed a car for pornography Andy35 (01:51) I am busy rapidly reading through the app thread on the forum to see what I can do on this PC boost (01:52) lol guard wanted to check lewis for a pass Gemini (01:53) that's the only I think right now about how boring it sounds... at least in TV broadcast rghojai (01:53) And Rosberg is experiencing bottoming. Quite the smutty scene!!! Fudce (01:53) Ooh, teams have colours associated with them on the timing tower jonpollak (01:54) Freddie jonpollak (01:55) Britney Fudce (01:55) Danny? KnucklesAgain (01:56) Where is Kimi? Richard T (01:56) The cars really are wild on exits! GVera (01:56) I like how you can hear the squeal Brawn BGP 001 (01:56) ricciardo wide Richard T (01:56) Jinx at danny balmybaldwin (01:56) Love the tyre squeel Brawn BGP 001 (01:57) perez spin Brawn BGP 001 (01:57) not quite a spin jonpollak (01:57) Kimi... Blowing up Jenson... Blowing up rghojai (01:57) Can you hear the squeal when there's bottoming? Fudce (01:57) That's not the correct line through Brundle's corner Richard T (01:57) Yes but you could that with the V8s as well rghojai (01:58) Are Live's icons new or have I been oblivious??? Richard T (01:58) Comon Ericsson! Fudce (01:58) here we have the "Hand back tyres" part of P1 rghojai (02:01) And now I drink water with a vitamin C supplement -- thanks to a tip from none other than jonpollak Fudce (02:02) Ericcson is out of session - battery Brawn BGP 001 (02:02) so much for catherham reliability. Richard T (02:02) And kobayashi had a fire.. wrighty (02:03) a vitamin C supplement? is that not actually fruit juice? lol jonpollak (02:03) sponsorship dictates I drink that garbage boost (02:03) kimi weighs less the fatty fred wrighty (02:04) ffs how many years have caterham been doing this? jonpollak (02:04) Just like the iced tea in Danicas Coke bottle Fudce (02:05) Kobayashi's tie-up with Good Smile company demands I buy lots of Good Smile company figurines... not that I need much excuse rghojai (02:05) You spoke well of it!!! Richard T (02:06) Wonder if Kamui dreams back to his payed Ferrari Le Mans drive right now Brawn BGP 001 (02:06) button going out for 6 timed laps rghojai (02:06) Wrighty, it's powdered magic you pour in water wrighty (02:06) well i've thought about it, agonised and here we are.....cocoa not cider brb jonpollak (02:07) Oh yeah no... It's AWESOME good rghojai (02:07) I actually bought a usd $ 1.99 pocket shot of tequila. rghojai (02:08) It's a little plastic thing with 50ml of tequila. rghojai (02:08) But you get paid to say that, jp rghojai (02:09) The tequila thing might as well have "simple to smuggle into movies and lots of other places" on the package. razor625 (02:09) Hello All 2014 is finally FINALLY here!!! BullHead (02:10) That Sauber sounds a bit better KnucklesAgain (02:10) Fudce (02:12) Moving to WIlliams could be the best thing Massa has done meister (02:13) actually the mclaren sounds cool Richard T (02:13) Very understeery. green track Richard T (02:14) 15 000 rpm instead of 18 000 is almost impossible to hear. The intensity is higher, 6 cylinder per exhaust instead of 4 wrighty (02:14) aw thats it, Button WDC 2014 someone get TTB on the phone lol BullHead (02:15) yeah, when the sound mix is turned right up, it sounds good. Sky / FOM probably still adjusting broadcast mix KnucklesAgain (02:15) How hard can it be KnucklesAgain (02:16) pit radio volume on the app is way too low as well. Surely (02:16) Why does Kimi have all the bad luck in the Ferrari garage? Fudce (02:16) Clearly Jenson's been told he talks too much about balance and now needs permission Surely (02:16) And good morning from Shanghai! Brawn BGP 001 (02:16) clear sounding button radio for once. wrighty (02:17) lmao Surely wins the prize premier Ferrari conspiracy question has been asked rghojai (02:17) I have no tv/audio. Do the cars sound different from one to the next?? grunge (02:17) Who else is at work? rghojai (02:17) Wow, shanghai. How is life in shanghai? Fudce (02:17) There does seem to be a noticable difference between the three engines study (02:17) balance..... wrighty (02:17) yes rgh there's definite differences in tone Will (02:17) his favourite word Surely (02:18) I am working Richard T (02:18) It is sooooo much power on exits it's crazy! razor625 (02:18) Williams looks the most composed car on track, followed by McL and FER rghojai (02:19) Thanks, wrighty Surely (02:19) Aside from the air, Shanghai is not too bad. Today it's sunny and the high will be 14 jonpollak (02:19) Only a sensor problem for LuLu Will (02:19) so no costly engine change required? Grayson (02:19) "No, of course I don't want to talk about the "B" word. But can we have a quick chat on the radio about the ratio between the two dimensions?" jonpollak (02:20) No Will.. Will (02:20) I wonder what caused the smoke though Brawn BGP 001 (02:20) seb out Richard T (02:20) Hey here comes the Vet BullHead (02:21) The no 77 could be bigger on that sidepod Fudce (02:21) Give'm the finger! jonpollak (02:21) Finger on track!!!!!

Fudce (02:23) In Russia, gravel trap drives you? LB (02:23) mIm Richard T (02:23) Kvyat seems really unfocused saudoso (02:23) Felipe baby Richard T (02:23) I think he is the first man in the wall, kvyat LB (02:24) Have now actually seen a moving F1 car this year - wooo hate being offshore sometimes... Andy35 (02:24) right, After reading the forum thread, downloading bluestacks android emulator, paying Bernie his money, downloading it is finally running. Just missed half the qualy though ! Lord Snooty (02:24) @saudoso: wrighty (02:24) lol i hope charlie is on his way to the red bull pit with two camera pods and a big mastic gun, thats the usual level of sixth-form snarky 'nyerr nyerr' from Red Bull Surely (02:25) Any word if they are going to have the live timing app for WIndows Phone? rghojai (02:25) I am impressed, Andy. LB (02:25) Mind you it was a force india as I walked past the tv room, I'm still laughing at the nose KnucklesAgain (02:25) Andy Fudce (02:25) The mystery of the Red Bull camera solved. It's inside the nose itself. Clearly Red Bull like their rules "Flexible" KnucklesAgain (02:25) And it's not quali yet jonpollak (02:25) Well then Andy it's down to YOU now to tell us WTF is happening Andy35 (02:27) It is early in the morning Knuckles.. after all this effort it does seem like Saturday jonpollak (02:27) "Update on @LewisHamilton's car.. An oil pressure alarm led to a precautionary engine shutdown. Cause to be investigated when car returns #F1" Richard T (02:28) Alonso on a fast lap KnucklesAgain (02:28) lol Andy35 (02:28) on the live timing what does 11 M 4 mean ? Medium tyres but what are the two numbers? wrighty (02:29) lol not like a Merc to have a failsafe on a faulty sensor LB (02:29) Spent all day yesterday thinking it was friday Its like having an extra day at work that! KnucklesAgain (02:29) Overall laps and laps on this tyre? wrighty (02:29) session laps then the tyre type and laps on that stint andy? rghojai (02:29) I'm not seeing that, andy 4L3X (02:30) The sound of the ENGINE is horrible, in my opinion. NO REVS! The PU as a whole, like during breaking, it's interesting, Sci-fi, etc. Great for Formula E. But the 1.6 engine needs REVS. like 5k more. My 5c. KnucklesAgain (02:31) I only have one number after the tyre type though BullHead (02:31) Same for me LB. Must be thinking about the F1 start making me think its the weekend Andy35 (02:31) sounds reasonable wrighty wrighty (02:31) i can guess with the best of em KnucklesAgain (02:31) Lotus? BullHead (02:32) i don't think it's horrible 4L3X, just a little too quiet sounding wrighty (02:32) lol 4L3X i;ll sort some drag racing links on youtube for ya, enjoy jonpollak (02:32) ha..Chilton whacks the jack Fudce (02:33) In public!? wrighty (02:33) oh i have a direct connection to F1 btw my employer makes the LED flag boards yay BullHead (02:35) would be nice to see a 1:30 before the session is over 4L3X (02:35) I do think the F1 1.6 engine while accelerating sounds like a touring car tuned up. Like BTCC or something. It's like a bunch of squids driving M3s, not bad, but F1 pedigree? KnucklesAgain (02:35) I'm convinced the only problem is FOM and maybe your broadcaster's mix, 4L3X jonpollak (02:36) It sounds like an off song IndyCar Andy35 (02:37) For the black flag wrighty what colour of LED do they use ? KnucklesAgain (02:37) Love the turbo whistle jonpollak (02:37) MAS+BOT in P3&4 4L3X (02:38) I'm in the USA, chanel 723, listening in a Yamaha 9.1 setup witha 15"sub. Something is very wrong then, but not here. Richard T (02:38) My iphone will fukn explode if I dont turn this stupid app off.. cant even hold it in my hand! KnucklesAgain (02:38) My eyes! Fudce (02:38) Nosey Mcgee about to come out wrighty (02:38) see for me it sounds more like an LMP prototype, not quite stock block but not shrill, but to hear em up through the gears at such a prodigious rate is always exciting wrighty (02:39) lol knuckie was that the renault nose you saw? KnucklesAgain (02:39) yes 4L3X (02:40) Where's Lotus? jonpollak (02:40) App built by Renault then Richard? KnucklesAgain (02:41) I had totally forgotten about that nose because there were not seen so far KnucklesAgain (02:41) *they Richard T (02:41) Yeah! one could think... wrighty (02:41) i know i know (or as the daughter would say 'ikr' *sighs*) we could start a support group for sufferers of that blight 4L3X (02:41) Williams fan, but too much white for me. Not working. Were they going for a Prius look? Car looks like an appliance. Where's the Energy Star sticker? rghojai (02:41) ikr? jonpollak (02:42) lol 4L3X wrighty (02:42) 'i know right?' wrighty (02:43) she says ikr, i say wtf, we lol then i tell her to gtfo and go to bed, which isnt an abbreviation..... BullHead (02:43) A Lotus out soon? Maldonado getting strapped in jonpollak (02:45) HEY BULLY...DID YOU GET A HOLD OF A NIGERIAN? BullHead (02:45) lol. yes, thanks. not too bad either... Surely (02:45) Kimi back out jonpollak (02:46) Jack McGhee (02:46) Morning Richard T (02:47) The nose brothers are on the track! rghojai (02:47) Jon is a master of Nigerians. He would do well in Dubai. saudoso (02:47) Ooooh boy Andy35 (02:47) where is the weather on this LT app ? saudoso (02:48) It sounds like a wet fart Jack McGhee (02:48) @Richard : Fittipaldi is there? .... ho ho ho KnucklesAgain (02:48) Media Hub IIRC whoisjohngalt (02:48) what's up with raikkonen? jonpollak (02:48) slideways (02:49) they would be on split workloads imo Richard T (02:49) Kimi not happy with the brakes.. At least not compared to Alonso i guess Richard T (02:50) wtf?? no brakes? BullHead (02:50) Well, so far, on track stoppages at a minimum. Not so bad rghojai (02:50) Who, the Nigerians? KnucklesAgain (02:50) lol Maldo saudoso (02:51) I'm going to the. gp at abu dhabi and tht will be my last gp ever Andy35 (02:51) something wrong with that lotus Jack McGhee (02:51) Anyone got any bets going? Fudce (02:52) cockpit smoke? GVera (02:52) Maldonado : Lotus decision best ever! Jack McGhee (02:52) I wonder what would cause that? wrighty (02:52) lol the lotus makes me want to be charlie whiting, just so i can write 'no concave surfaces within 300mm of the nose tip' into the rulebook with a crayon and then stamp on that POS front end...... jonpollak (02:52) why the last saudoso? KnucklesAgain (02:53) That Williams sounding weird Jack McGhee (02:54) Sounds like Williams is experimenting with their harvesting or something. rghojai (02:55) Harvesting? Jack McGhee (02:56) Under braking, the harvesting of the electricity. Richard T (02:56) Charging the Kers* Jack McGhee (02:56) You can hear it on the Mclaren there too. rghojai (02:57) Danke Jack McGhee (02:57) Might be the turbo I suppose. Surely (02:57) I am really looking forward to hearing some Ron speak this weekend Andy35 (02:57) They need to turn up the track side mikes a bit. jonpollak (02:57) OK gang...have to go do my Pacific Symphony lighting gig for an hour or so...Back for FP2 4L3X (02:58) So Mercedes can't change an oil sensor during a session? These engines are more like computers. Richard T (02:58) Ciao Jp! BullHead (02:58) Indeed Andy35. I wonder what they sound like from the trackside. wrighty (02:58) goodnight JP cya tomorrow Jack McGhee (02:59) Urgh, sounds like the dentist. BullHead (02:59) cya jp study (02:59) 4L3x, its not that, they've not got the car back Andy35 (02:59) see ya wrighty Andy35 (02:59) bye jp Fudce (03:00) so close to walling it BullHead (03:00) TRs don't like braking too much slideways (03:00) Yeah 4L3X (03:00) Oh, okay, tks, study. slideways (03:01) british understatement 'maybe a bit wide' KnucklesAgain (03:01) good night folks.

Lewis the big loser for Merc powered teams. Will be at work for FP2 so will just have autosport live and LT on. Jack McGhee (03:03) Checking that people are not coming in to pit I imagine. study (03:04) The amount of failures on Lewis car is getting a bit unforgivable, he's becoming the new rubens/webber saudoso (03:09) JP, here yet? saudoso (03:11) It's over? saudoso (03:11) Yep, bye. Fudce (05:14) Ooh, so we use the same live for all practices now? mark f1 (05:16) yep, live has been continuing with updates between the sessions Fudce (05:18) Well that's a cool thing mark f1 (05:19) now I'm really not getting much work done... Fudce (05:20) F1.. or work. I know which I'd choose Andy35 (05:21) Considering I was up at 1.30am and now at work I am not that tired ! Andy35 (05:22) Yes Live being live all the time beween sessions on Friday is good. Nice work chaps BullHead (05:25) Slackbladder (05:26) Good morning!! Fudce (05:26) Nice that we have Giedo in the paddock still, even if he's not driving slideways (05:27) That pic makes me want to start spewing top gun quotes slideways (05:27) or ride past an airport 1 handed and shake my fist at jets sergeym (05:28) jonpollak (05:29) And ...I'm back Fudce (05:30) wb Fudce (05:30) Mr Flake joins the track sergeym (05:30) So Renault does no seem to be as bad as predicted... Which is good. SophieB (05:31) Alright dudes, what's happening down in groove town. rghojai (05:32) Hello sergey, still cold where you are? Fudce (05:32) Dunno, but we might be able to guess about Grove Town Andy35 (05:32) Hi Jon and Sergey. Andy35 (05:32) Hi Sophie B. Andy35 (05:33) very good Fudce for this time in the morning Brawn BGP 001 (05:33) nightmare return for Kamui. sergeym (05:33) rghojai: hello It's getting warmer, right now it's +6 C. Still lots of snow, but it is starting to melt. slideways (05:34) I wonder if they will streamline the power unit change process this season. You'd think they create a more modular system where you could just lift the whole lot out and swap it in rghojai (05:35) I can't brag about having the convertible out with the top down in sunny california because someone clobbered and killed it. jonpollak (05:35) Gogo Lulu rghojai (05:36) Crazy that Koba's problem wipes out his day. Slackbladder (05:37) Nice time from Rosberg peroa (05:37) Have i missed something or why is live timing missing half of the information? Fudce (05:38) It's Austerity Timing rghojai (05:39) Want more info??? You have to pay!! jonpollak (05:39) BOOM Vettel P2 peroa (05:40) there are 2 versions of the desktop LT? Fudce (05:40) #BOTTAS going purple mark f1 (05:40) I bought the Android app in the break...lot cheaper than last year, $12 vs $30 IIRC Slackbladder (05:41) Merc powered cars moving up Brawn BGP 001 (05:41) K Mag wide Fudce (05:41) £7.49 of your best British pounds jonpollak (05:43) I like Soph's "Groove Town" mark f1 (05:43) oh cool, just realised if you turn it side on, landscape, get a lot more data displayed Jambo (05:43) Morning! Brawn BGP 001 (05:43) vergne gravel again Fudce (05:44) Completely sideways for Seb... Brown trouser moment jonpollak (05:44) Hey Jammy SophieB (05:45) Hey jp, how's it going? Andy35 (05:45) Morning Jambo Peroa, I use LT on a PC so had to download some android emulator and then get the app. Bernies way of paying for all his lawyers. rghojai (05:46) $11 in the App Store. F em sergeym (05:47) I'm following F1 only via this live commentary because i'm working, but plan to watch recording of FP1/2 when I get home peroa (05:47) ok, thanks andy rghojai (05:47) Five teams in the top 5 4L3X (05:47) What's the name of the iPad app Linus something? 30 bucks still? D A (05:48) god these engines are quiet rghojai (05:48) Andy is very smart Jambo (05:48) They do sound good but Brundles right, pop a megaphone on them! rghojai (05:48) And a handsome man, from what I hear. Jambo (05:48) I do love all the extra sounds though Fudce (05:49) I'm looking forward to some good moments from #BOTTAS this year. Fudce (05:52) I'm amazed that Kravitz hasn't talked about the Ferrari vacuum cleaner yet Brawn BGP 001 (05:52) alonso stopped at pit lane Exb (05:52) Ferrari stopped at end of pit lane Brawn BGP 001 (05:53) kimi it is Exb (05:54) it is Kimi, Ferrari mechanics have pushed him back to garage Fudce (05:54) Grosjean back out... fire imminent pikamoku (05:54) morning mates! I have no problem with new cars aesthetics, the noses and all that stuff (williams-martini SHOULD have made a better job tho) . I like the red/black lotus I'll get used to the new F1-sound but now they sound like MotoGP Brawn BGP 001 (05:55) looked like he was trying to a practice start Fudce (05:55) and Rosberg on Options pikamoku (05:56) I did not watch FP1 but.. do we have new graphics about REVs, gears, use of MGk ERS etc ? jonpollak (05:56) Jp finds himself in Costa Mesa California for this years exciting opening race in OZ. The lovely and talented Melissa at the CornerOffice Sports Bar has offered her venue to stay open for all sessions Brawn BGP 001 (05:56) first timed lap for lotus coming up for romain whoisjohngalt (05:56) Redbull purpling whoisjohngalt (05:57) options? Brawn BGP 001 (05:57) qual sim i guess BullHead (05:57) that's better 1:30 Andy35 (05:57) Is Dan on softs ? Brawn BGP 001 (05:58) rosberg purpling, sub 1.30? Andy35 (05:58) no mediums it seems ... hmmm Fudce (05:58) yeah, ROS RIC HUL all options Brawn BGP 001 (05:58) it is soft, app now shows BullHead (05:58) good times... jonpollak (05:58) 1:29.7 Fudce (05:58) I need to see him though, as the app seems to change its mind Andy35 (05:59) right so soft... ok Fudce (06:00) Yeah, definitely soft Brawn BGP 001 (06:00) ric picks up a tenth on his second lap Brawn BGP 001 (06:01) massa on soft Brawn BGP 001 (06:01) and bottas Fudce (06:01) most of everyone will be coming out on softs now too, Bottas and Kvyat also BullHead (06:02) let's see a 1:28 today Fudce (06:03) I doublt we will, they'll do a brief qualysim followed by long run/race test Fudce (06:05) What can Jan do jonpollak (06:05) Vettel P2 Brawn BGP 001 (06:07) come on jense Brawn BGP 001 (06:08) awful s3 Mercedestorque1 (06:09) GO LEWIS razor625 (06:09) I dont want to see another Vettel train this year whoisjohngalt (06:11) How can someone think ROS/HAM is stronger than ALO/RAI? Brawn BGP 001 (06:12) alo purple s1 Surely (06:12) Big Ron Fudce (06:13) It's an arguable point, I think Alonso & Raikkonen are better drivers than Rosberg Hamilton... but together the pairings are about even Richard T (06:13) morning! MaDDim (06:14) I really like the new cars driving style. Too much torque and powersliding. 4L3X (06:16) Cars are understeering like crazy on replays Fudce (06:17) I've changed to the Rosberg onboard... and I do like the sound - it's different but not bad rghojai (06:17) So unless people are hiding something, the top teams seem pretty close. Fudce (06:18) Will be interesting to see how the options drop off razor625 (06:19) Is there any word on how much tyre degradation to expect this year? Is it similar to 2013 start or 2013 end tyres? jonpollak (06:19) Different is the keyword this year. study (06:20) suzie wolf pose again 4L3X (06:20) The engines are spec, I mean how far can you go with so much fuel out of 1.6L engine? so if they're all going conservative on the recovery systems for driveability, or reliability, they're going to get close. If a team solves the drivability issues with the E-Power units, they''ll ride into the distance. jonpollak (06:21) Moon over my Hammy Mercedestorque1 (06:23) Get em Lewis!!! that's the spirit! peroa (06:24) That russian guy likes to occupy the whole track for himself... Brawn BGP 001 (06:24) big gap between merc engine cars, rbr and ferrari to the rest. Richard T (06:25) Is that the sound of Dr. Marko calling Felix da Costa? Andy35 (06:27) Lotus paying heavily for the missed preseason sessions it seems Richard T (06:29) Andy, Yes that was clearly apparent in the last 3 corners Andy35 (06:29) and the way the smoke gently drifts out of the cockpit ....... rghojai (06:31) Nice, Andy. Richard T (06:31) The best decision Maldonado ever done they said... Fudce (06:32) Rosberg's got some nice consistency on those softs Fudce (06:32) though he dropped 0.8s on his latest lap 4L3X (06:33) For a sec. I thought Grosjean was stuck in 4th gear on the straight... rghojai (06:34) That FI still looks weird. Andy35 (06:41) In what way rghojai? rghojai (06:41) The large nose thing. Andy35 (06:42) The words Bottas is now given a fuel target to aim for over his next four laps. Makes me slightly concerned . Will it be pacing and not racing this year? Andy35 (06:42) Is it because it is large and black ? Richard T (06:43) That is on the edge 4L3X (06:44) The nose is being used for sponsors, and then just like the bat wings, it will never be scaled back. 4L3X (06:45) Bat wings = shark fin HoldenRT (06:46) will have to see how it turns out with pacing.. it looks bad but you never know, there could be situations where people turn it up to overtake each other and it could spice it up.. still the true spirt of racing though.. to actually go faster than others.. rather than LESS slow.. rghojai (06:46) You are disturbing, Andy. HoldenRT (06:47) still not* jonpollak (06:48) Yes but he's our Andy Andy35 (06:49) That's what my ex wife says rghojai rghojai (06:49) Which one? Andy35 (06:50) The one under the roses in the back garden. Andy35 (06:51) you can tell I haven't got tv at work. The live timing only has blobs here too, so my mind wanders off... rghojai (06:53) Yah, scaling back the free LT is snotty HoldenRT (06:54) lewis has to do another lap after a hot pitstop or a penalty.. what if the car developed a technical problem in the pitstop? why do they introduce new rules if they are silly? HoldenRT (06:55) the ironic thing is, the live timing wasnt that good in the first place.. now it's worse.. Fudce (06:55) Hulk first to "spin fully off" boost (06:55) hulk beached Fudce (06:56) Grosjean didn't want to give Hulk all of the attention Fudce (06:57) Grosjean fully crashed too 4L3X (06:58) so mid 1.34 is race pace? How was it last year I wonder? Andy35 (07:01) With all these off track excursions I am looking forward to Monaco this year. Richard T (07:02) Time to catch up on some sleep. Cya guys for FP3 4L3X (07:02) Night! Andy35 (07:03) Bye Richard Fudce (07:06) yeah, cya guys tomorrow morning jonpollak (07:06) ta ta race fans Sheepmachine (08:55) Hello. oh I missed everything.
