Cant wait. I love/hate this track on F1

Should be a good race. The wet tyres hasn't been tested much, so it'll be nice to see them in action this early into the season.

Anyone got a stream link for P1?

I usually get it from the BBC website but you would need a VPN software to watch it. I can't remember what I use.

Thanks. I'm stuck at work for this and that link has quali.

I'm glad they show the 107% time on live timing now, it's like another battle to be excited about.

OH SHIT, Rosberg knocks Schumi out of Q2 at the buzzer, fucking hilarious.

[Mibz]

Fucking intense end, damn! So close. I'm a little upset Alonso is on the clean line right behind Button. Kinda hope it rains. Good to see Heidfeld up there too.

EDIT: Kinda -really- hope it rains.

[cycosis]

intense indeed. vettel will proly take off like motherfucker and leave everybody behind. Ham will follow, webber will pass Ham.

Perez is the name to watch out for. He did 35 laps on softs while everybody was doin 17-25 laps.

[Mibz]

Hah, if there's a 1-stopper this race I'll shit.

The RB's are always faster in Qualifying than in the race. I'm going to say with qualiy this close between RB and McL, the McL will have better race pace and challenge for the win much easier than Australia. It's all going to come down to who pits first.

That's because everyone did it at the start (heavy fuel onboard, dirty track) vs Perez who did it in the last stint (lighter fuel, rubber'd in track).

The 1 stop strategy will only work if you start on hards, and not in Malaysia because of how much tirewear there is from the temps and abrasive track surface.
