No HD?

I got widescreen and digital. It might have only been 480p (I didn't check the broadcast resolution) but it was definitely clearer than Standard Def. I was able to pause it during the race, and it definitely looked much better than broadcast SD.

Ah, 480p yes, 1080i no. I can watch NASCAR in 1080i, WTF can't I watch F1 in the same resolution.

So it looks like Ferrari might be back on top now we are back to medium downforce circuits....I don't read to much into practice sessions, but qualifying should be interesting tommorrow....and whats going on with the Toro Rosso boys in the top 10??

FOr real Speed third in practice. We'll see if he qualifies tomorrow. I doubt it. My call for tomorrow Massa take pole, Hamilton in the 2 spot, Raikkonen third, ALonso in the 4th.
Raikkonen to take the Win. Alonso 2nd.

WOW!!! That's putting your neck out. Speed rarely finishes, let alone in the top ten.

My prediction - Ralph Schumacher has a crap race and blames the car, Sato looks good in the early stages of the race but then crashes out in an over-ambitious overtaking move.

Come on Charles, pass it along..your starting to bogart

I must say though, the Newey designed cars have gone very well in practice..who knows. Now that the teams have moved away from the high and low downforce (Monaco, Australia, America) bodies and to the regular medium downforce configurations that the majority of their windtunnel time goes into we may see a shift in the order.

If Hamilton takes pole, I'll call him for the win. If he doesn't, Raikonnen. I think Alonso is still spooked.

Alonso if getting fired up. I suspect some interesting ish from him in the next couple of races. He's gone from world champion to pee-on in half a season. I'd bet if Mclaren separated their corral, Alonso three or four stalls away from Hamillton, ALonso's would look like a ghost town. I'll put $10 on Alonso finishing ahead of Hamillton in France. I love 'em both but, I don't think the #1 is going to want to finish #2 for much longer.

I am going to predict this outcome for every race on the very off chance it happens . That way i can say i predicted it when no one else did or would.

hahaha

Massa / Hamilton front row, rain predicted...could be a very exciting race. The way Hamilton was overtaking last year in GP2 could make for an interesting first few laps.

Poor old Fernando.
