    It's a new exhaust and those strips sticking out the bottom of the rear wing are just shorter now like the RB8, when they were introduced RBR had just got a DDRS...

    Yeah, Max Chilton (Marussia), Ma Qing Hua (HRT), Giedo van der Garde (Caterham), Valtteri Bottas (Williams) and Jules Bianchi (Force India), have we ever seen so much youngsters driving in FP1, i can't remember.

    Don't think so.
    A sign of next years lineup?
    Also there is a young drivers test after this Gp so it probably makes sense to work with them before.

    Solid time you are right.
    Mclaren with early good laps. Hmm.
    Very good for Mercedes also.

    He really is a nut sack!
    FP1, Areo paint all over the front wing of the RB so does indicate that they are running a test of some sort..
    Not saying McLaren aren't doing any testing themselves but if they are 6 to 7 tenths quicker come Q3 then we'll allow the Crofty One to get excited!

    You are right, a bit obvious with paint slapped over the front wing.
    Ferrari may even have to fight Mercedes this gp.

    Nothing learned in FP1, Ferrari testing a lot of things of course they will look off the pace, RBR didn't bother trying to go faster at the end than earlier since testing new front wing, McLaren looking happier on still quite a green track which is still evolving...

    Yawn sky yawn!

    For all we know Mercedes will be the fastest on a rubbered track come qualifying.

    Great job by Bianchi in FP1, only 0.182 slower than Hulkenburg.

    Vettel has put out a statement of intent, is Senna wearing a Piquet tribute helmet?
    Schumacher may get penalised to be honest.
