11:00pm - FP2

Friday

Saturday

McLaren brought a brand new F-duct for this race, and will be doing extensive testing in FP1 and FP2, with a decision tonight on weather it'll be used for Saturday/Sunday. New F-Duct is supposed to reduce drag even further, allowing for more straight line speed and more wing angle/downforce in the corners.

Go McLaren!!!

btw - find a UK proxy, and FP1 is on right now. Most teams have done their installation laps, and even the big teams are heading out pretty early to test their new gear.

Lewis just crashed hard in turn 9 under the bridge. Car is fucked bad. Not sure if the car gets towed back or not to the garage before the session ends.

edit - getting towed back for repairs now.

Button goes out same spot, but saves the car. Caught good air after turn 8 over the curbs.

On the bright side, Hamilton still in 5th place with his crash.

how do u make it work with the uk proxy?

[rage2]

Set your browser to use the proxy. Then go to the BBC sport site, go to Formula 1, and click Live video. If the proxy has enough bandwidth, you'll get video.

Do I just go to

Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> Settings -> Manual Proxy configuration?

But where do I find the HTTP Proxy address and port?

I really want to watch the crash on BBC!

Forecast calls for rain for the rest of the weekend. 100% on Saturday and 80% on Sunday. Looks like qualy will be interesting for sure. Kubica and Renault look good.

[buh_buh]

Rain will help Renault and McLaren. I'm hoping for a rain race. We haven't seen one in a while.

Another stroke of bad luck for Hamilton...

Yup, on TSN2. Guide info will be incorrect.

Any particular time? I just checked my programming guide and decided to tape the remainder of nascar (bleh), horseracing, and billiards. hopefully it'll be in there somewhere.

That's pretty much a kick in the balls. If qualifying does happen he has to post the fastest time if it doesn't then I think it is very unlikely that he will be in the podium.

Qualifying and Race on the same day might not be a good thing for Alonso as he is on his last engine.
