I'm going to Free Praxtice on the Friday. Never been to a GP before so even though it's not a "proper" day I'm still muchos excited
Get to see Kimi before his inevitable retirement

I'm there Fri/Sat/Sun, but like you Jambo I've never been before and unsure what goes on/ where to sit etc 
I've got an assigned seat on the Sunday for the race in the stand opposite the pits, but not sure where I can sit the rest of the time?
Is there a drivers meet and greet after qualifying?

Oh dear Nico 
Something broke on the suspension. Some great replays of it.
Toto was not happy

Porsche cup cars are way louder than F1
The Honda on full chat is very nice sounding but the merc sounds so good like it's going to go pop

Kvyat with a huge crash after breaking his rear suspension.... I think these kerbs will be binned after this race
Tbh though it was his own fault for going wide.

The Bernie sprinkler idea doesn't seem so crazy now

Crofty made a joke, for once the man may actually be talking sense.
When discussing "penalties" for extending track limits, a bit of water would do that nicely. Surely it wouldn't be too difficult to engineer some "permanently wet" curbing to be placed on the outside of some corners. Nothing to make things too dangerous, but on the "carpark" run-off areas we have on some tracks, it would keep the drivers in line or risk them spinning off safely losing a chunk of laptime and their tyres.
Good session though, all the breaking suspension is a bit scary though. The yellow curbs seem easy to blame, but seems it ma be the resonance from the red/white curbing instead?

Awesome third session - they were really struggling after turn 2 - vettel was snaking all over the show
The Honda was a big surprise - it really does have a distinct sound when it's on it

Can't wait for tomorrow now but my god it's a treck and a half to the turn 2 when you get to the circuit - especially after a day of boozing 😜

Grand Prix logistics are rarely glamourous. Have fun though!
I'm not sure why, but I burst out laughing when the camera snapped to Ricciardo sat in the pits with a coffee sat on his sill

I think I was on sky sports 10 mins before qualifying jumping up and down in the crowd - it was on the big screen
Had a Ferrari shirt on with my back to the camera

Fuck! Vettel very lucky there.
Wtf is going on with the Rosberg/Lewis switch? So dodgy.

Will be very interesting to see what happens with that. They have to pit Rosberg again or let Lewis through (not that Rosberg will like that)
