F1 Digest - Brazil Free Practice

Published

By Christine Blachford

Sidepodcast F1 Digest logo

It was a quiet start to the weekend, with Massa and Alonso getting the first chance at glory. Hamilton wasn't far behind though, and the damp track sets things up nicely for qualifying.

Free Practice 1

It was all about Massa and Hamilton as they duked it out for the first taste of headlines. Massa won this round, whilst Kimi found himself spinning round.

Free Practice 2

Alonso took some of the heat off the two championship rivals by stealing the top spot, and Trulli also finished well up the order, despite not feeling too well yesterday.

Conclusions

Most of the team concerns seem to be about the weather and about tyres. Presumably one affects the other, and the data they gathered today would appear to be of the utmost importance. Both Hamilton and Massa appear to still be supremely confident going into Saturday at Brazil.

    Great work. We’ll keep a lookout for any issues. How are you feeling - was it an allnighter? At least the time zone allows you to sleep away the morning without worrying about F1 stuff. At least I hope you can have some downtime - unlike the servers :)

    After I posted a message, the text I just sent stayed in my message box. whereas it used to clear and give me a blank message box to come up with something new.

    i am on firefox using vista.

    are all the web links for the new servers beginning with www2 now? is everything across now?

    Morning all.

    As you can imagine, he is sleeping. If you keep having the problem, Scott, let us know, and he’ll investigate.

    As far as I know, everything should be across to www2 now, and going to www will simply direct you over.

    Glad he’s sleeping :) I understand (vaguely) what it must have been like.

    It happened once and on the subsequent messages.I will advise if it happens again.

    Thanks - I noticed a lot more www2 links on the site this morning so I figured, but I also saw some www ones (which worked fine) so no problems.

    What a great time of year to decide to do all the server stuff. Or rather, be forced to into the decision.

    Completely ridiculous, but he seemed in high spirits even at 6 o’clock in the morning when he crawled into bed.

    Sidepodcast is worth it :)

    It certainly is.

    Make you should employ “Me’s Mother-In-Law” as an extra IT assistant. She did really well while you two were off enjoying the sunshine at Silverstone….

    Not sure if this is more zen-like or yoda-like :)

    Oh, and for sidepodpanel. On the wiki I’ve added most appearances so it is fair to those that haven’t been on as often

    Could it have been in an old server live comments window that hadn’t been refreshed after the move?

    Aloha! The wombat is watching you.

    Excellent news for Algarve circuit: Le Schumi will be doing a few laps there in an Alfa Romeo & Juliet, guess Ferrari are “trulli” interested in the track. I tell you one thing: Masaysia, China, Bahrain, Moon, Mars - forget it, it’s too risky. The time has come to firmly put Portugal back on F1 map. That’s what wombat is saying. Cheerio.

    Nice idea and I thought that was probably it, but then I realised that my posts today were all in a new topic which wasn’t here when I left yesterday (although the browser was still open). Life’s a mystery sometimes…

    Sorry. i mistyped this previous message. It should read “It happened once and *NOT* on the subsequent messages”. Just to be clear - it happened one time on my first post. I guess I wasn’t multitasking this morning as well as I thought I was.

    Looking at autosport’s forecast, we have light rain at the moment over at Interlagos.
