    So like I said earlier - The FIA agreed with the Stewards that Ferrari where guilty. They just chose not to punish them. For the transgression, or the ****-storm it caused triggering 151c.

    I also see the Mr Horner agrees with me as well:

    "...... It is too early at this stage to be saying we should be putting all our efforts and focus behind one driver or the other. We will continue to support both drivers with absolute equality."

    That comment from Horner made me laugh. Vettel is ahead we will support him, Webber is ahead and we support both drivers equally. I really hope their number 2 driver wins or at least Vettel finishes 4th or lower! that would make me very happy.

    I'm desperate for Webber to win this WC.

    In the almost words of Kevin Kegan, I would LOVE it if Webber beats Vettel!

    Too late.

    While I'm hopeful that Webber ends up higher in the final results than Vettel I really don't want to see him win the WDC. This year is all about Hamilton's second WDC!

    Hello - Flo-vis paint on the RedBull? Has having to take all those flexible parts off to pass the FIA flex tests upset the aero? ;)

    And what's this all about? Have Macca got a new wing?

    BBC pit-lane reporter Ted Kravitz: "Have you seen the size of the McLaren rear wing? It's like a barn door."

    Macca seems to be testing a very high downforce setup, relying on the F-duct to sort it out on the straights. And judging by early practise times, this seems to be working, with the two McLarens (running on hard Tyres) separated by Vettel's RBR (no idea what tyres they're on ATM)

    We'll see by quali tomorrow, I suppose.

    This from the Beeb's live coverage:

    Williams wants a Ferrari engine supply?
    Sauber wants to retain it?

    Hmmmm.

    Code:
    1) Button   1:23.693
    2) Vettel   1:23.790
    3) Hamilton 1:23.967
    4) Kubica   1:24.120
    5) Rosberg  1:24.129
    6) Webber   1:24.446
    I'm not sure, but I believe the McLaren times where all set on the Hard tyre...

    T'was indeed win.

    Out of curiosity - how does one do nested quotes? I've been here a while, and on forums for AGES but I never figured it out.

    You'd have to be a very brave man to do that! The amount of boos Lewis got at Monza last year was unreal.

    Yea and I'm sure mcclaren didn't know it was stolen technical data till they read it! FIA should still punish him or is there no evidence? The videos on you tube dissappeared quickly! [/end poo stirring rant]
