It was Fernando who incidently had it well covered.

Anything could have happened after that corner. Massa could have failed to accelerate hard enough (quite a possibility given the state of his tyres) and Hamilton could have passed him.

Virgin Racing have a bit of a cockup on their cars, the fuel tank is 13 litres too small which means the car won't have enough fuel to finish the next 2 races without reducing speed!

The chassis of the car will have to have a serious redesign and won't be ready until May at the earliest.

Could be that Webber has some overheating problems in practice 1.

Also mirrors are to be moved to cockpit for safety reasons from China onwards,

[Kymmy]

Well the only excuse for mirrors on outboard pylons is purely aerodynamic..

[sherer]

wonder how this will affect the teams. The cars are designed like that from the start and moving them now could cause huge aero problems for them.

Why not get rid of the mirrors as they can't see much anyway. That way they can't block and weave about in front of cars

[Kymmy]

Also means that every car trying to overtake would mean two less cars on the track We're trying to encourage overtaking not make it suicidal

Cheers Kymmy, you're a star.

Is this gonna affect the Red Button coverage, i.e. TV and 5-Live coverage?

[Kymmy]

red button is on 30* (freeview) so it's counted as a seperate channel, will probably be continuous

Now changed to "from Barcelona" due to team saying they didnt have the time to inpliment the changes.

Thanks for the heads up on this Kymmy Splitting it, great idea BBC.. why not put it on one channel or the other.

[Jon T]

It's on BBC1 until an Easter Sunday program, then it switches to BBC2. It isn't on BBC2 from the start because of Match of the Day, which obviously isn't live, but for some reason HAS to be on TV then.

EJ needs to use antipersperant or wear a shirt that doesnt show sweat lol!

[Ravenheart]

Has Eddie been for a swim? Or just not an antiperspirant kinda guy...

EDit: Great minds
