Rosberg DID pit and is now 6th.

Hi Olly

Yeah, I relaxed a bit for the middle of the race.

Am a bit more stressed now... praying Jensen doesn't plough into a wall or anything!

I'll be onto the golf too. I started a thread for that yesterday. I'll be over to see if there's anyone there shortly.

Big grins, again!! I am loving this years F1!

Right... am off to get some sunshine.

Bye Olls

Fluff... what can I say? Thank you again. Even my hubby relies on your updates now. xx

I am going to put my lappy down while I watch the golf. .

I feel very heavy lidded and may snooze unexpectedly which means lappy could hit the floor

No problem Olly, you must protect the lappy.
See you around.

With regard to Martin Brundle's co-commentator. I think Jonathon forgets that, not only has Martin been commentating on F1 for several years, but that he was a, not unsuccessful, GP driver for a good few years as well.

Ferrari and the rest of the teams in the Formula 1 Teams' Association (Fota) have submitted conditional entries for the 2010 championship.

Williams announced on Monday that they intend to enter next season's campaign.

McLaren, BMW Sauber, Toyota, Renault, Red Bull Racing, Toro Rosso, Brawn GP and Force India have now followed suit.

....and a fortnight later it's the Brittish one. Last one from Silverstone they're still adamant.

Ferrari and the rest of the teams in the Formula 1 Teams' Association (Fota) have submitted conditional entries for the 2010 championship.

so they all run next year, nobody is pulling out all mouth no action

Well, they do say CONDITIONAL, so I guess that gives them a get-out clause.
But I seriously doubt if we'll see anybody using it.

This championship will be, I hope, a great one

Welcome Dusty, just in time for the Turkish GP weekend. Qualifying programme starts at 11:10 and car action from 12 noon.

Q1 - Hamilton is P16 at the moment.

Hamilton in trouble,looks like he'll be out.

Yep, couldn't even make P15!

16. Hamilton
17. Piquet
18. Buemi
19. Fisichella
20. Bourdais

11. Heidfeld
12. Nakajima
13. Glock
14. Kovaleinnen
15. Sutil

Just about any of the 10 left could take poll, the performances are so close. Will probably depend on their fuel loads and driver accuracy.

Q3 - Raikonnen goes out first. Trulli beats him, Massa goes 3 then Button goes 2 and Webber goes 3. Now Vettel is 1st. Alonso 5th. Kubica and Rosberg 8th and 9th. Barrichello only makes 8. Then goes 7th. Webber's flying. Raikonnen goes 2 then Webber 1 then Button 1 then Vettel 1 and Barrichelo pops into 3rd.

1. Vettel
2. Button
3. Barrichello
4. Webber
5. Trulli
6. Raikkonen
7. Massa
8. Alonso
9. Rosberg
10. Kubica
11. Heidfeld
12. Nakajima
13. Glock
14. Kovalleinen
15. Sutil
16. Hamilton
17. Piquet
18. Buemi
19. Fisichella
20. Bourdais

See you tomorrow for the race. Programme at 12:10, race at 1 pm.

Barrichello will win this race its about time he won one....

I know he's probably 'due one', but Vettel's on fire!

Hi Fluff

So far so good then!

Jeeeeez.... Barichello & Kovelleinen are doing the dosey do round every bend..... am squealing like a pig here!


Noooooooooooooo Barichello just spun off.... he's swung it round and is carrying on though!

Barichello just totally passed Hamilton (Schumaker on a mission style)..... in fact Barichello is totally on a mission!!! Is in 16th or 15th now.

H1 there

Vettel and Button have good starts but Vettel makes an error and Button gets through. Meanwhile Barrichello makes a bad start and falls to 13th but clims to 12th before he and Kovaleinen collide and he falls to 18th but is now 17th having just passed Hamilton who fell from 16th on the grid to 17th. So he's now 18th with a goal of 1 point, he said.

Oops, forgot that Fisichella is last, or out, so Barrichello and Hamilton would have been 16th and 17th.

Barrichello is a bit mental today

He's just had a new nose put on his car cos he bashed the other one!

Barrichello and Sutil clash, Barrichello loses bits and has to pit. I think it was his fault and he could be black flagged.

Fisichella's definitely out now.

Vettel pits from P2 and comes out in P6

I think it was definitely his fault Fluffs!

Barrichello seems to be running on pure adrenaline and emotion today.

Trulli pits and joins 9th
Alonso already pitted. Button pits now and exits in P3, aheadof Vettel. Webber, has pitted from temporary lead and so does Rosberg, so Button leads again.

A few of the front runners have still to pit, but Button is still leading with Vettel 2nd and Webber 3rd.

Hamilton now 13th having just passed Raikkonen.
