    There was rain on Wednesday, and there is potential for rain as the weekend progresses.Weather is very unsetted and could make it an interesting weekend.

    The brat is back.He couldn`t wait to be first out on FP1 and then made sure that he dominated over everyone else.

    Is Perez in the same car? He`s 1.4 seconds slower !

    perez is the ultimate ego stroke for max.

    they probably put about 100kg fuel in the car before sending him out just to soothe the furrowed brow on the brat.

    I'd say he was impossible to live with all week.

    Perez still a full second off in FP2. you could be correct about Checo`s fuel load.
    Good to see Ferrari within 0.3 of RB hope they can keep it up.Come on Charles.
    Croft trying to be witty saying Max has "floored" the rest of the grid. Go away idiot.

    FP2 can be hard to judge based on the fact they were also running none race tyres for pirelli.

    We will wake up tomorrow to fnd who is fastest i expect and if its spilling rain then hopefully the brat starts from the pit lane or something.

    I am of the opinion as of now that there is no way on the planet i get up to watch this race.

    One of my favourite races on the calendar and imo its a waste of a lie in to do so.

    I'd settle for a pit lane start myself.

    at least we get a modicum of entertainment watching him drs through the field to win from last.

    Drs through the field to win from last. or win from pole and lap the entire field.This season is over.
    Don`t blame you for missing out on this GP.
    There`s going to be a lot of F1 fans going to miss this race and many more this year.

    I didn't get up as early as you all. I thought I heard that Danny is confirmed to race next year. If so, it is not based on his performance this season so it has to be linked to a longer term strategy.

    Heard Ted say on Sky Sport that he has been confirmed because of the experience he can bring.

    Sorry. But if RBR wants to put the car back out on track and run it to the end, okay. But to just do one lap, take the pen and then retire is just bollocks.
