Red Cow always tends to use this little trick in FP to put their little dreamboy on top, because he's gonna cry if he's not. They're probably gonna do the same thing in FP2 as well, so dont be surprised if finger boy goes over 2 seconds faster again at the end of the session. Let those clowns do whatever they want.

Sadly they are doing it in quali also...

Sadly they are doing it in quali also...

No, not always...

They always put daylight between themselves and others in FP but in quali that gap tends to get much smaller.

Like I said, let those red fools do whatever they want in FP. I personally don't care about those clown tricks at all.

Just got FP1 on now, wow that tarmac looks slippery

[Ken]

Sadly they are doing it in quali also...

Never by 2 seconds in Qualy.

And for that kind of difference Vettel was on very low fuel and we tend to do the High fuel runs in FP1 so there is no real comparison yet.

[scuderiafan]

Well, Fernando in third is good.

[wisepie]

Come on, guys, don't let's get carried away with the first outings on a new track and expect things to be representative straight away. Doom and gloom already mentioned which doesn't help man or beast, can't we just see how FP unfolds before putting any guns to our heads? What will be, will be, but as we keep saying, it's not over until Sunday!

[DIEK]

Vettel, you have already seen the survey of James Allen?

SV problems with water leaking.

Red Bull to struggle this weekend?

Everyone expects Red Bull to continue their recent dominant form this weekend but Mark Webber said it might not be as simple as that. All the recent races Red Bull have dominated have been held in hot conditions, but it's only about 19-20C in Austin this weekend, which may well have an impact on the way the tyres work. Webber said: '(Track) layout is not very important; temperatures are. If the black things on the corners are not working then (the car) is not going to work.

Oh and don't worry about Seb's lap at the end - he was on new tyres.

[Rob]

Yeah did hear that he done 1 lap on the set and then left them in garage in the blankets, then went out at end for that time.

This is clearly a big job at Red Bull, with Vettel now out of the car and waiting while a longer investigation continues.

[anuragiyer8989]

steve slater on starsports saying vettel might have to sit out in FP2 due to leakage problems...

[theforce]

Looks pretty close up top.

[stefa]

I've just tuned in. Is there anything new on F2012?

[Rob]

AUTOSPORT Live ‏@autosportlive
A concerned look on Vettel's face as he stands in the middle of the garage wondering when he can go out and play again.

[anuragiyer8989]
