1st Practice starts at 11am. Merceded have a new exhaust that helps low speed conering so they may be a threat this week. Mclaren are the team on form.

Alonso for the win, I reckon. One McLaren will do well, the other stumble, but which way round? Mercedes, Red Bull and Lotus, could be a threat. Will tyre wear prevent Sauber repeating Monza's heroics?

Did nobody watch quali? Maldonado second. That could result in a big shower of carbon fibre.

I watched. Amazing lap by Maldonado, the boy is quick. If only he could combine it with some track manners...
Mind you, nobody had an answer to Hamilton - even his final lap where he tagged the wall was faster than 2nd place man.
Martin Whitmarsh sounded a bit nervous about the run down to turn one!

Anyone else watching this on Sky and finding that the sound is out of sync ?
Ahh good it's not just me, a few people are moaning about it on other forums.

Well that is annoying. Hamilton.

Some interesting manoeuvres going on in that race. The track is way too narrow to be anything much more than a procession and/or scrapyard.

McLaren have signed Perez too (I'd imagine they'll be relieved to get one of the more talented drivers).
I wonder how much influence those last couple of events in the last race had? (Hamilton's retirement, Schumacher's accident)
Maybe it really has been a done deal for a while?
