Alonso didn't drive at all.. RTL sucks ass... Too bad F1 is oN RTL again in the Netherlands. That means commercial after commercial during the race..

Shame you guys don't get BBC coverage. It's up there with the best!

Can't wait for the top drivers to come out over the next few days. Can't wait to see the difference, if any, when Button and Hamilton start to play!

Michael Herrmann · Feb 1, 2010

with luck i get my Pay-TV box unlocked again (after there last card update we dont have acces to the plainmaster key) then i am saved from RTL Germany coverage and can watch it on SKY

For coverage yes, for impartial commentary, sadly not

That is cause I don't have cable TV, but sattellite tv. The Sat provider doesn't give BBC with it, needs an other sattellitte LNB orso. While all cable-providers also give BBC.. Cable just isn't available here.

I watch it on BBC and switch the commentary feed to BBC Radio 5 Live (much better IMHO).

Péter Bártfai · Feb 3, 2010

Button was 7 tenths slower than Hamilton yesterday. Counting that the track gets faster by every day, it's not a very good sign for him imo. (I thought anyways that Hamilton will beat him, of course this is not the end, we have to wait and see how that battle will go on)

James Johnson · Feb 3, 2010

Only did 82 laps and Most of morning was spent setting Buttons Seat and Sight line. Only Afternoon did Button get some decent laps.

Péter Bártfai · Feb 3, 2010

I didn't knew that

Then it's OK.

Michael Herrmann · Feb 3, 2010

schumis low lap count is cuz of a fluid leak on the MGP

David Garcia · Feb 3, 2010

Didn´t know where to post this picture, but is a coll comparation of the 2010 liveries...

Andreas Hultgren · Feb 3, 2010

Comparing livery is ok but more fun IMO to compare the cars designs

Thanks for the pics David! My conclusion is that the McLaren engine cover is really ugly, so is the Sauber nose. And the Williams reawing is rather odd looking, or somthing like that.

Other then that, good to see cars on track again!
