Just a little snippet

(exit of the Ascari chicane to the exit of Parabolica.)

Also the DRS has been shortened this year,

Nice and dry for some valuable data.

 

Duck for cover! Grosjean is near the track!

 

Dry free practice, teams won't know what to do with all this time.

 

Looking good for Mercedes and Mclaren.

 

That Merc goes like a rocket in a straight line.

 

Sky do adverts during practice?

I thought they said they weren't doing that.

 

Then again Vettel took pole last year somehow.
Just hope Michael can have one moment of glory again.

 

Power track = Good for Merc engines
High fuel consumption track = Bad for Merc Engines

I feel they'll have an advantage in quali and then be a bit held back by weight for the first 20 laps or so.

 

****ing annoying.

 

They've done it all year, it's Quali and the Race where they dont.

 

1st time i've watched practice this year. Didn't know they did that.

 

I do hope that Kobayashi doesn't get sacked on the basis that Perez has two podiums and he doesn't because that would just be ridiculous.

 

Hmmm engine or gearbox problem for Alonso...

 

Stonker of a laptime. But I think Mclaren own this race.

 

I see Mercedes going slower in the next two practice sessions. That said I have Schumacher to get pole so I hope not

 

The old sage will do well.

 

Alonso issue is likely to be an old engine or gearbox at the end of its life. They install the race engine and gearbox before P3. So it not a big problem for Ferrari.

Mercedes looking good with that DDRS, its open for a big chunk of the lap. Jenson again finding the balance straight away in Monza, he seems to nail it everytime looking at his previous races here.

Also I keep forgetting about Red Bull as they are so far down the timesheets on these low downforce circuits.

P2 will give us a better indication though!

 

Damn right it will. As usuall RedBull will find something.

 

Custard leads the speed traps whilst the McLarens and Red Bulls 'struggle'
