Hamilton's apologises for his off the track driving: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/moto...ne/8589435.stm

Two McLarens fastest in todays practice then. Didn't see it myself but practice generally doesn't mean anything when it comes to race pace does it?

This race will be a big test for the sport, another race like the opener could kill a lot of casual viewer's interest in the sport.

[Roddie]

It would kill some of my interest too!

[NW2013]

It would kill some of my interest too!

Exactly, not just the casual interest!

So who's getting up early tomorrow for the F1? Think I'll skip the P3 and just watch the qualifying at 0500.

I'm always up watching F1 live. Looking forward to it.

Actually used to enjoy getting up at 3am for oz!

[ChrisF]

Not me, you're all bonkers

[Kungfu]

30mins until Practise 3, hadn't planned on watching it live but am interested to see if Mclaren can repeat their form from Practise 2.

[Paulos G]

Well I'm up and raring to go. Pot of coffee brewed and netbook engaged.

[Flabio]

Well, that was somewhat unexpected. It appears the colder than normal weather has borked a lot of teams set ups.

[cutmymilk]

What was unexpected? I thought the order is pretty as expected apart from Hamilton.

[NW2013]

What a lap by Vettel, absolutely brilliant. I'm worried that this will be the best action of the weekend. I hope I get proven wrong tomorrow.

[ChrisF]

There's me calling you all bonkers, and I've been up. I thought it was on earlier for some reason.

[PeteJ]

Great race so far, reminds me why I watch F1. How much is down to the early rain?
