imi Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 BBC Sport's chief F1 writer Andrew Benson "Force India have turned a few heads with their car this year - it looks comfortably the best of the midfield runners, although it has been difficult to judge its outright pace because of the programmes they have been running. Nico Hulkenberg has taken over from Paul di Resta this morning and he is running aerodynamic tests and set-up work. This afternoon the team are planning qualifying rehearsals - but not, they emphasise, to set an eye-catching lap time, just to practice what they will do over a race weekend. After that, they will do a race simulation - which will be watched with interest for a sense of the car's pace. The team have some new aerodynamic parts arriving later on Friday for evaluation over the weekend." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 I have to say the cars sound fantastic this year now the blown diffusers are gone. Good result for Mclaren and Mercedes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 7 tenths off the pace for Red Bull i bet theres one unhappy Vettel in that garage I might get up and watch this one live as it has the makings of a great start to the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 *SPOILER ALERT* Good first race of the season and a easy win for Button even with the safety car restart. Plently of action and drama even on the last lap. Maldonada half made a balls up there Mclaren definitely look alot stronger this year. Looks like were in for an interesting season.

neil tt Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I watched on a friends sky, not that impressed, no adverts though, but comentary was not as good as the BBC in my opion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Preferred Sky, purely because Brundle is on there and Jordan isn't. Missed DC's input though. Give Sky time, it's a new production, which will get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbm Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 A shame the BBC cut out the drivers' press conference, but I thought the Beeb were good. I do like Brundle, but not enough to pay Sky £16 per race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 The guy commentating with Brundle is annoying as he gets louder the more excited he gets, sack him and get Murray back in the chair i say. Damon Hill is as boring as watching paint drying bring back Eddie and DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letmeshowyou Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Can't see it TBH Imi. There's a lot to be said for being able to do it your own way. I can't see that beig the case at Ferrari! Newey's said he'd never go there either. I know where I'd be planning to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
