Melbourne 07

[BigMuz]

Webber is doing well. Main thing to me is that the car looks pretty composed. Should be competitive in the race.

Webber 5th is my guess.

[bugle]

Yea it's good except for the putting around for most of the last session getting rid of fuel

[23Kev]

Fuck I watched the wrong channel

Webber 7th is my guess.

Well done Muz...even if you didn't realise you were watching the wrong channel. Do you think ch7 did that on purpose?!?1

Marks got a car quick in a straight line finally!!

1 6 Kimi Räikkönen 11:31:23 307.5

2 17 Alexander Wurz 11:38:35 306.2

3 15 Mark Webber 11:50:36 305.9

[MR-PUNANNY]

that was awesome! Hamilton is a crazy driver, i think McLaren if their reliability has improved will be the ones to look out for!

Surprised both Toyotas made the top 10!

[snavy]

My suprise is:

10 22 Takuma Sato Super Aguri-Honda 1:27.365 1:26.758 1:28.871

11 23 Anthony Davidson Super Aguri-Honda 1:26.986 1:26.909

11 23 Anthony Davidson Super Aguri-Honda 1:26.986 1:26.909

Last years honda wasn't a bad thing which is what the super aguri-honda is now. This years honda is .

Anthony Davidson was always very quick in the Friday sessions last year btw, he topped it a few times.

Is that Alonso with the lowest qualify time at 1:25.326.. faster than Raikkonen by .318? Can't wait until the race, no doubt it'll be full of action & a few surprises.

Good to see Webber is up there, once they sort the car out a bit more I hope he can only improve from here.

I'm loving the docco on at the moment, some great programming for today. I'll make it better with a few pints & a steak + guiness pie tonight!

John - yep, I meant chassis-wise, it's almost identical save for the mounting of the engines and associated cooling systems etc.

FWIW, I am also using the Kangaroo TV system at the track. KTV = small portable TV unit which not only offers trackside broadcast, but also in-car camera of your choice, choice to listen to PA or scan for team transmissions, stats (including comparing drivers, teams etc). Only $130 for the weekend. More GA people should get it so when they can't see the superscreen they can keep up to date.

PS Sorry to fatboy but his mate Scott Fleming just rearranged the front of his ute..

Yeah, wasn't a bad hit actually... :D

Scotty was just starting to get his lap times down and from what he said (i haven't watched the in car or the tv stuff yet) the car turned in better than he expected and he whacked the wall... then the other wall... then the first wall again...

Missed the GP qualifying etc as i was out all day - anyone have a link to the grid positions for tomorrow ??

[Monk]

That qualifying format seemed to work pretty well on telly actually. Didn't bother watching after that though. Well, actually, I fell asleep in the last session, but still good.

Webber = Legend

That is all.

[fdrx7]

yeh for sure...story on autosport saying the protest probably won't happen until after the race but more likely to happen in malaysia

Now they're reporting that Spyker have protested SA only. Personally, I was just surprised to hear that it wasn't Honda who lodged the protest

Didn't know they were used anywhere other than Nascar.

Decent watchable picture and meaningful stats Nafe? Pretty cool although on top of the price of tickets a little expensive...

[sejanus]

look at this for the 4 redbull cars

Webber - eleven places higher than any.

7) Webber
18) Speed
19) DC
20) Liuzzi

hope he has a stack of fuel onboard, i reckon he will.
