The team has certianly been getting a lot of good PR out of Kimi, they were almost hated and now people are slowly liking them again. :p But there remains a lot to be skeptical about, especially with Boullier around. So what do you think, was Kimi really on pace (since you properly know much more t...

Have you been particularly impressed by Romain then? Alan Permane: Romain drove a stonking few laps on Thursday. He had the same fuel load as Kimi, sure the track was better, there's no doubt ... It is not gonna be an easy year for Kimi. This is pretty interesting to know, I was wondering about fue...

Problem is that chances that he Lotus/Räikkönen marriage ends in tears is too big. A bunch of team officials that only care about the PR BS, a team boss who's one of the drivers' manager, a team owner that makes decisions on the back of the team boss, and Räikkönen in the middle of that mess. I hop...

Kimi's final stint of the day was fantastic!

Kimi's last run - very consistent

17 1:22.954
18 1:22.485 -0.469
19 1:22.742 +0.257
20 1:22.502 -0.24
21 1:22.250 -0.252
22 1:22.107 -0.143
23 1:21.895 -0.212
24 1:22.979 +1.084
25 1:22.930 -0.049

09:33 Raikkonen returns to the pits after his longest run yet - a nine-lap stint on medium tyres averaging 1m22.5s.

Kimi is doing great so far!

Did you manage to get any pics Mar? :) Just blurry ones with my cell phone, Kimi's face is just a blurry spot in them. But I do have a great control of whatever it's related with him driving the car. My post on the media centre is just on top of Kimi's garage. I notice instantly when he's going to ...

Thanks Mar! It is nice to have a reporter in the field!

They could solve a big part of the problem by just giving Kimi the right sound equipment.

Awesome!

I like the way people think that Grosjean will be favoured. If Bouiller was such a massive supporter of Grosjean, do you not think that RoGro would have stayed at Renault in 2010? They had other objectives in 2010. They wanted a new lead driver, someone to replace Alonso, so they went with Kubica. ...

Oh now suddenly David Evans is anti-Kimi :<>: He's not being anti-Kimi, he's telling the truth. 2010 was a novelty, but 2011 didn't work out. He wasn't doing much better. He was doing much better he had gone being over 2 sec/km slower then the fastest driver to being 0.5 - 1 sec/km slower. He had t...

Still no announcement! I wonder what went wrong here, perhaps someone has just gotten the timing wrong.

That would be rather pointless.
