  1. @5LiveF1 @f1doc don't go giving him any ideas…
  2. @5LiveF1 because @f1doc would get wet sitting on the bonnet on tear-off duty
  3. @5LiveF1 and if I had to bet on a team being in the tyre temp window, I'd say @MercedesAMGF1 has the best chance considering ambient temps
  4. @5LiveF1 yessir. Might even get some new windscreen wipers fitted.
  5. @5LiveF1 I quite fancy my chances if it's wet.
  6. @MichalRespond thanks Michal. I'll forward your request to the FIA.
  7. @FakkiKovalainen must have been the lack of commentary for me then.
  8. Nice of the proper rain to hold off until my walk back to the hotel. Great result for @AussieGrit, shame about the incredibly boring race.
  9. @f1enigma very small amount. But noticeable and increasing.
  10. Rain drops on the windscreen now. Or someone in the grandstand above is sweating profusely.
  11. @JV_F1 Some lucky boys out there today - glad there was only broken carbon and fences.
  12. @russellbatch not exactly. Parking well out of the way of GP2 car coming up hill behind us that wouldn't have seen track blockage.
  13. @JV_F1 BOOM.
  14. This was the racing line at Rascasse a few hours ago. I trust someone has moved them on & given the Tarmac a scrub? twitter.com/alanvdm/status…
  15. @clubforce sure did, thanks for the invite. Shame you couldn't do anything about my early start this morning!
  16. @5LiveF1 I was disappointed the DJ didn't understand my request for the brown note.
  17. @f1doc @aaibwannabe @fakemedicalcar have to mention we were driving at walking pace due to locals on track. Thanks for compliments though ;)
  18. @5LiveF1 and there I was thinking you were just really bad at guessing people's age!
  19. @f1doc Happy Birthday dude! 32 right?
