P2 times:



another great session for my RB guys, but there was some chaos late in the session with BOTH Mercs of Ham and Ros retiring w/ possible gearbox problems, and Webber w/ a late spin.

The cars late in the session were on heavy fuel loads and were JUNK due to the POS tires, running times in the mid 1:30-36's. Its gonna be another who can baby their rubber the best, not my kind of racing..dammit!

Scottie thanks for the updates as I went to bed after P1. Looks as if Adrian Newey and the boys have it figured out...AGAIN! I was curious to see how the super softs would work. Seems like they aren't lasting long. Should make for some interesting strategy come Q3 and what to start on for the race!

Bummer you aren't feeling well Scottie...hopefully some F1 will cure you Tongue They are saying the weather is ok right now but there is a chance of rain for qualifying. Have to wait and see...I doubt I can stay up for qualifying Sad

And it seems as if the live timing link on the F1 website is up and running so we can follow along on there as well. It's looking like the rain is coming too! Could get interesting.

@willbuxton Rocky tells Seb to pull off track immediately and not to shift. RB9 lost hydraulics.

Should be a fairly easy fix if its just hydros. These F1 mechanics are truly incredible.

Q1 delayed 10 min. its full on quagmire! Blink

Seb's car was nothing but a faulty sensor and they shut it down for precautionary reason...or is that PR spin from Horner? Whistling

There is no provision in the regs to call this a "grid" so Q2 and Q3 WILL be run., even if it has to be ran tomorrow.
