Hi Ed :D How you is?


Now this really is a joke because they don't stop the clock any more and Lewis needs all the laps he can get! :x

Thanks Snowy for covering for me :oops:

Yeah this session stopped but clock doesn't stop is a bit strange. Maybe it has to do with TV committments!

They are still fixing the loose drain cover

A guy comes with some tools but it seems they don't fit then he comes again and there is a lot of activity around the drain cover that is now in place!!!

Replay shows Kovalainen going over the drain cover causing a bit of the sealing around it (or the cover itself - it isn't too clear) flying off!

Session restarting in around 5 minutes

Coulthard hasn't gone out as the team continues to work on his car that caught fire in the first session!

Session underway and the track temperature is up to 52 degrees!

Many cars go out, in fact most of them!

Coulthard is on the track too!

Hamilton is on the hard compound but isn't fast this lap

Hamilton pits. He didn't look comfortable on those two laps.

He rejoins quickly though

Replay shows Hamilton going off the track at turn 8 so he went back to the pits and the team did a front wing adjustment

What do you think is the difference between the harder and the softer compounds Ed? Lewis seems a lot more challenged by the harder compound and possibly the extra heat.
