    Will be sad if Barrichello doesn't stick around, he's become a bit more than a household name in my family, it was always pleasant to hear such a familiar name when I came back to F1. And such a familiar face, evidently a man very content with his innings thus far.

    I Don't know...
    I would be happy to see the back of Barichello.
    He's not a spectacular driver, over the hill, and he seems to cry about everything...
    Same with Massa, really... but then - I have been predicting them not having race-seats for years now...

    I'm surprised that Trulli is still on the go tbh. I really want to see Kobayashi in a quick car. :blah:

    Can't wait to catch up on these practice sessions, sound like a couple of crackers.

    lol "tripods at dawn"

    These issues with the kerbs could make things interesting. We know they all push every limit they can but now, with the only limiting factor being the wall, we could see some really good scraps and maybe even a bit of Kobayashi drifting again. Alonso had a pretty scary one at the start of FP2 and some others have been getting pretty squirly out of those turns.

    Just checking: the PF1 forum is down, right?
    I figure it buckled under the semi realistic prospect of Kimi returning to F1 :)

    Alonso looks like he might be in with a shout this weekend.

    Is anyone going to say it was Massa's fault?

    It was a racing incident, nothing more. But what a surprise Hamilton ends up with a penalty.

    On this occasion i also agree with the penalty. It was completely Hamilton's fault AND it destroyed Massa's race. As commentary said, if Massa had got away without the puncture i doubt he would have been penalised.

    That was horrendous all across the board. WTF happened?!

    Anyone think Perez brake tested Schuey there or did Schuey just overstimate Perezs grip levels?

    EDIT: That was really weird. From the replays it looked like Perez just couldn't/wouldn't to move back on the racing line and wasn't going at race pace leaving Schuey with no where to go. Maybe some issue form the Rosberg touch? Was Schuey over confident?

    So. Button ended up 1.7 behind and lost 2.1 due to the Williams being complete tards. Ah well.

    Fantastic drive by Di Resta though, thoroughly deserved.
