I can't believe McLaren is 3-4 in FP1 behind red bull.

Fuck, looks like last year all over again haha.

[DJ Lazy]

Some of the tires they were pulling off in practice were pretty fucked up... and they are suppose to look worse during the race. Pit stops are gonna be a huge factor this season..

[rage2]

Can't wait to see FP2 in full HD for the first time ever... 18 mins to go!

[rage2]

It looks like it's shot in 720p and upscaled to 1080i... image is a little on the soft side.

[Shimanio]

Anyone able to find it streaming in better quality??

[Sil80_D]

^ it's broadcasted in HD on speed... just finished watching it

[rage2]

Did not expect a McLaren 1-2. Of course, it's only practice...
