Oh , how I wish I was going to the race . Maybe next year .

The local boy put a black mark on the wall of champions this morning , and won't be getting that Merc upgrade he was hoping for , so not likely to make too much of a stir at his home race .

Max was fastest , so the Renault plant is improving , but one of the manufacturer's cars stopped out on track , so reliability could be in question .
Good to see the third team in first place , even if it is just first practice .

I don't know who will win , and I like that . This could be a good one .
