What's going on, no F1 thread and third practice starts in less than an hour

**spacecrafty** · 06-06-2009, 03:25 PM

Been busy - Brawns have been well off the pace so far

Most Europeans will just be waking up this morning - remember they're around 8 to 10 hours behind you.

**nitivearchit** · 06-06-2009, 03:57 PM

The Brawns have not shown pace on any of the Friday practice sessions this year. What is different for a Friday is Rosberg has not challenged the top like usual - it could be a change of strategy.

**spacecrafty** · 06-06-2009, 04:20 PM

Oops, forgot to watch the time - off to watch P3 [thumbup]

**nitivearchit** · 06-06-2009, 05:05 PM

Nakajima 4th only 1 tenth off top spot in P3?

And what about those Toyota's, back up to 2nd and 3rd in P3 for the second time this year. They ran a very aggresive qual 3 last time this happened with very little fuel to secure a spot on the 1st row, I can't see why they won't do it again.

**spacecrafty** · 06-06-2009, 05:48 PM

Just over 3/4 of a second between the first 15 cars - sure looks like qualifying will be interesting ...
May be Massa's day - he's got a bit of a history at this track ...

**kjsdiuwe** · 06-06-2009, 05:54 PM

CB what's up mate [shocked]
Or wait , didn't he make a thread already ?

**nitivearchit** · 06-06-2009, 06:04 PM

Yeah as CB usually starts these things up before Practice 1 I had a look but couldn't find it.. Apologies CB if I missed it!

Not much difference in weight at the top, if Vettel gets the jump Button only needs to hold onto Vettel's coat tails to leapfrog him in the pitswith his two extra laps of fuel - Rubens only has one more lap more - Webber may be able to leap frog Rubens with his extra one lap.

Webber and Rubens have had belting starts this year, perhaps they can get the jump on Button - Maybe Rubens could even get Vettel? Of course that is presuming the front four don't get swamped by the KERS cars into turn one.

**jesyflowers** · 07-06-2009, 07:20 PM

BBC coverage is on guys [thumbup]

Watching it ...but when the final of tennis starts, i am out of here

Too bad vettel didn't get past button there...

Raikkonen fail as well

**nitivearchit** · 07-06-2009, 09:41 PM

Webber again jumps Vettel.

Well done Button, it will be a monumental F'ck up to lose the the champonship from here.

Is it officially the worst drivers title defence yet?
