    McLaren's are fast again in FP1, but Brawn's up there with McLaren (1st and 4th).

    Luca's cruising in his Ferrari learning the track. WAY off the pace.

    Alonso ran a couple smokin' laps to come out on top. Hamilton spun early on and damaged his car. McLaren put new parts on it for qualifying. I'm a little upset that Jaime finished below Luca. Grosjean put down a really good time for a noob. I -really- look forward to qualifying.

    Back in action at a race meeting for the first time in a decade, Badoer had clearly forgotten how to operate the speed-limiter button on his steering wheel as he racked up four separate penalties for driving too fast in the pit lane during Friday's practice sessions for Sunday's European Grand Prix.

    The 38-year-old Italian was hit with fines totalling 5,400 euros and issued with a reprimand for his repeated offending, which soured a day long dreamt of by the veteran Ferrari test driver.

    Looks like the Brawns got their pace back. Rosberg is on pace to hit points again. Don't think Alonso will be making points tomorrow morning...

    Grosjean has done really well in practice and qualifying. Better than Jaime. I just hope he doesn't get too aggressive and take somebody else out with him.

    What's sick is that the 2 McL's aborted their last laps, which was 0.5s faster by S2 lol. The 2 times were set a few laps before the end, when they were heavier. Too bad they didn't have this kinda pace at the beginning of the year.

    In Q1, McLarens were on the top using the soft tires, while nearly everyone else had to set their times on the super soft options. McLaren's gonna run away from everyone tomorrow. It's not even gonna be close.

    My place is open for hosting... not to far from rage's place actually.. if your interested Mibz, or anyone else. I just don't have as many seats as rage... or HD... On 2nd thought my place probably isn't the best..

    Buemi cut the chicane and popped out behind Trulli, who turned and blew up Buemi's front wing. Grosjean also had front end damage. Badoer spun.

    Hamilton's pace is a full second faster than Barrichello's, and Button isn't having very much luck either. My pool picks are based on Barrichello having a shitty start and Button taking his position

    As predicted, McLaren's are pulling away. ~1sec a lap faster than the Brawns. Hamilton's not even trying.

    Button keeps falling backwards. Hope for no points. Hamilton for WDC! Still mathematically possible!
