    Susie Wolff really does not add anything to the commentary.

    Bit like her driving so;) Watching it on Sport1 Germany so at least you can understand what she's saying.
    Rosberg very nearly took out perez, could have been messy.
    Penalty maybe?

    It is possible, the FIA have been very very strict so far so I think he could be looking at a pen.

    Some very impressive lap times being put in by Mercedes now in FP2. Such a shame these cars are fuel and fuel flow limited during the race. Imagine the fun if they were not. I do hope regulations will be altered for next year in that regard.

    Barring a mechanical or a mistake, I can't see any other result other than a Merc 1st and 2nd again this weekend, looking very strong.

    Did I miss much?

    Looks like tyre deg is going to be a major issue this weekend.

    Susie is amazingly bad.

    To summarize:

    Option tyre excellent
    Prime tyre absolute sh1te
    Watch out for kerb on exit of turn 4.
    Merc are going to win.

    That's it...

    Edit: Yes I can confirm Susie is terrible.

    I thought I heard that on the radio, assumed it'd be the other way around.

    Yeah. Seems to be that the Prime and Option are lasting around the same time, but the Option is nearly a second quicker. Very strange and I'm sure we might get an answer from Paul Hembery during today's press conference.

    It's just a litre, isn't it? plus whatever the pump and pipes are. Martin Brundle always says he used to forget to drink. A night race here after surviving Malaysia should be okay given how scientific their diet and training is. Rumors of a driving passing out is worrying and they all look so thin. They've lost so much since Brazil. I think the weigh limit is going up next year.

    It is by 10KG.

    in P3 at the moment is Hulkenberg, who has been seriously impressive and over performing in the Force India this year.

    Hulk seems to overperform no matter what he drives!

    Someone give that man a fcuking front running car for heaven's sake!

    It looks like going to Force India was a much better option than joining Lotus...

    He'll never get a Red Bull drive. One can would put him overweight.

    Nice to hear the roar of the GP2 cars at the start of their race today. It will be interesting to compare the GP2 fastest race time against F1 fastest race time. In FP2 yesterday, the Mercedes were putting in some very hot laps... it's so annoying that their race laps will be 4/5 seconds slower.

    Unusual mistake from Vettel and he's out of the session with 20 minutes remaining.

    Just watching it now. At least he found a travel trap although he had already stalled. Cars are a real handful with the wind not helping.

    Good battle between the Force India lads for P3 in qualifying.

    Is it just me or do the cars sound a lot better, especially on board, than they did before?

    No RedBull in the top 10 for tomorrow (once Riccardo's penalty is applied) :eek:

    Dunno if they're sounding better - but I'm definitely warming to them more with all the different noises we can now hear. :)
