Lol @ The first post. I can't help you with the information, but you can start with the title.

Btw. It was raining at Istanbul today.





Any webcam streams ?

Finally a thread
Woooooo,rain would make this race at least not boring

I'm curious about Red Bull, Ferrari and Toyota as well. Hopefully one of these teams, preferably all of them, can fight with Brawn GP in the race.

At last, a race at a track where it is possible to overtake.

Love this place. Brilliant track. Especially demanding on the drivers as it goes the wrong way and with arguably the toughest corner in F1 in terms of physicality.

Red Bull will be back on song here, Massa may offer headaches for Brawn as well.

EDIT: It's not going to rain on Saturday or Sunday.

I miss Montreal

Yeah, it's gonna be an exiting weekend. (Oh god, did I say that ?) Just to see who's best this weekend. I'm looking forward to Red Bull this weekend.

Good news then; I read a quote from Trulli in which he said that everyone (which I think are the teams, FIA en perhaps Bernie) is trying to get Montreal back.

Hooray for Jarno.

Renault strange updates at Turkey




Brawn new front wing


And Force India

Thanks for the information. Hopefully those updates will work.

My PC F1 games comparison is up before first practice (for once!):

Looks like they're still finding ways to add lots of little winglets to the car. *sigh*

They always will.

+1, but I can go to the track whenever I want

Wow I cant believe that there isnt a thread a thread for this without at least a couple of pages worth on it!

Too much to ask for a stream? Though I doubt with the amount of posts that there is one.
