We're off again :D
Great to see that every team is running a "Get well soon Robert" message somewhere on their cars, here's Lotus for example:

And t'other Lotus:

On track, Perez has been out in his Sauber but stopped out on track causing the first red flag of the day, nobody else has yet set a time.
It's times like these you realise that for all their differences and internal policitics, F1 is a very small world.
Indeed.
Here's McLaren's message, as posted by http://twitter.com/TheFifthDriver

Still under a red flag out in Jerez. @TeamAnglais reporting that Perez's problem seems mechanical rather than a crash, so wondering why it's taking so long to clear his car away.
We're off again, with McLaren's new car heading out to do its first ever lap. Hamilton at the wheel.

dave post the fast times please - no one here understands html
Odd when you think about it that they can design a car to this sort of degree and it not even turn a wheel until a month before the season starts. They is clever those F1 peoples.Quote:
