These are all real time, the app uses official timing data. Just wow....
Give me some Five-Live F1 commentary on BBC with that and we'd be cooking with gas!

By the way, what the hell happened to Ferrari & McLaren in Q1 today? .......dry setup?

lol both scuderia ferrari and mclaren were dropped qualifying 3 since they went out too late due to rain; Malaysia will be an interesting race -- hopefully there will be no mid race ending with half points awarded due to heavy rain

I only just found this post!
Thanks for kicking it off again Pingu... its become an integral part of my F1 viewing experience, especially with you guys providing so much good insider info

I watch the races on German TV (RTL), so there's a very strong focus on the German racers, especially Mr Schumacher. There were very high expectations of him getting up to speed very quickly, however as the Championship is clearly demonstrating, there are a number of very good drivers in competitive cars this year, and his 3 years away (and age?) are clear taking their toll. Mercedes GP (via Mr S.) are claiming to bring "significant techincal improvements" in Barcelona, but lets see what the others will do.

This season is a HUGE step forward after last years season, for a number of obvious reasons, and its great to see such an open competition

I think Schumi is missing traction control. The others all have a couple of years experience of driving 700+bhp cars that don't have it.
