You can tell Ron's back - the fire extinguisher matches.

Dear god what have I done...

If qualy turns wet, do the drivers get an additional wet/intermediate tire for Q3? Anyway will interesting to see if the tweaks to qualifying have the intended result.

Indeed, what have you done!

All I can find about the Q3 tyre is that the option tyre will be offered, I can't see any mention of wet weather but they must have considered that it may rain on Saturdays surely?

Just one last thing. The whole Button-front wing thing was in 2011, not 2010.

Remember the first practice will last for 2 hours from now on, the teams will have an additional set of tyres (can't remember if it's option or prime) which they can use only for these extra 30 mins.

EDIT: And I think the wet-fp1/fp2-one-extra-set-of-inters-for-rest-of-the-weekend rule stays for 2014, right?

I cant wait any longer for those six magic words spoken so eloquently by our dear friend Sir Crofty of SkyF1.

2013 Fastest Lap of the weekend P2-Vettel- 1:25.908 Will anyone approach this time in 2014?

2013 Q3 Pole time Vettel-1:27.407 2014? Any guesses?

2013 Race time Vettel-1:30:03.225 Any guesses?(barring any safety cars)

I'll guess the cars will be 2.0secs slower on all counts.

New podium

The results from testing have certainly thrown up some interesting talking points. I still think it’s a brave man that predicts Vettel missing out on points all together given that in the entirety of his time with Red Bull he’s only finished outside the points on two occasions when retirements/DNFs are excluded.

I don't think many would predict that the Red Bull wouldn't be in the points if it were to finish the race. There are two big questions: 1) Can the RB finish the race? 2) Can it finish the race without significantly compromising its pace.

I also think most would agree that those are two questions largely unknown by all, even the team.

[motobaleno]

they should change the name of the team in "corvo rosso"
