2013 Abu Dhabi GP - Yas Marina

[Mandrake]

But so slowly turning

[Juzh]

Painfully slow lap times, what's that all about?

[Helios]

It's FP1?!

[Juzh]

Even so, they're still slow compared to previous years. 2011 fp1 time was 4 seconds faster.

Blown-diffusor? Unlimited DRS?

Free Practice 1 results:

How's the attendance? Everyone's worried about India but not AD or Bahrain where half of spectators were probably policemen taking a break from torturing.

What happened to Red Bull, engineers working on Vettel's talent between sessions? I bet they're going to be 0,3 in front later.

Abu Dhabi is sold out.

4 seconds? No way.

[Spacepace]

I think they made more aggressive kerbs last year, so you couldn't cut them

[SilverArrow10]

I like the idea of a Hamilton Vettel showdown. Lets hope its a good one.

Hahahaha. 1:41,3 FP2, that's 3 seconds already.

[Juzh]

Yeah, some sensible times now.

Lotus is using every trick in the book to not achieve anything this season and remain marketing driven circus run on owner's whims. Worked in Singapore brilliantly, qualifying in India and now combination of two different cars and one falling apart.

Looks like another Merc vs Lotus battle for 2nd best, Red Bull out in front.
