Bit difficult dragging myself out of bed that early.

Although driving all the way down from Yorkshire could be a laugh.

Both Mercedes at the top of the time sheets after FP3 followed by the RedBulls

Rosberg quickest again!!

Gary Anderson said he was a much under-rated driver now getting the recognition he deserves.

I think most would agree with that.

"Would love to mate, the wife says no"

"City" supporter?

People need to appreciate his talent. He's a very good driver.

What a stonking lap from Hamilton! Pole position!!

Boom! Great pole by Lewis, shame Webber messed his final sector up. Alonso and Kimi won't be happy with that.

So happy for Lewis.... masterstroke by fooling the stupid media. The man is a genius.

Great stuff from Lewis. Really hope he can push om and win it from there. Looking forward to an awesome race tomorrow.

To be honest I'm not giving up on Button winning either (see my comment from yesterday for full details). I know it's entirely wishful thinking but as the great Murray Walker once put it:

"Anything can happen, and in Formula 1 it usually does."

He's playing mind games now with everyone. Their race pace on average was on par with the redbulls. Could be a very interesting championship going forward.

The 'test' seems to have worked wonders

Would be a shame.

"http://www.formula1.com/news/headlines/2013/6/14732.html"

One down, eight to go..... must get Ferrari on pole.

To be honest, I though Alonso's complaint that Pirelli are only bringing tyres that suit two other teams to the races has some merit.

But when you think about it Pirelli would be condemned for bringing tyres that mainly suit Ferrari.

Pirelli are damned if they do and damned if they don't.

The FIA mucks up everything they "simplify".

They just choose a long, complicated and expensive way to do it.

It would be better if teams could order tehy tyres they want, then nobody could claim favouritism, nobody would be unfairly penalised, except through their own wrong choice and everybody would be happier.

("Everybody would be happier", is that possible? In effwun, could everybody really ever be happier? Perhaps not.)

Shame about Di Resta

Simply the best admins

Good to see the story about McLaren switching their attention to next year.

Starting this early should give them a bit of an edge over the others, assuming they can calibrate their wind tunnel properly.

It might be worth having a quiet word with Ross Brawn as well if Mercedes aren't happy with him.

Indeed T and U. They've hired Sauber's designer though

Silly boys

2 or 3 stop?

15 minutes to go
