28 hours until FP1 kicks off. I remember last year Karun Chandhok crashed out in FP1 in the Lotus. I'll be expecting to see the same with HRT and Marussia as they've yet to properly test the car.

I remember that. Crashed on the very first corner. First car to go out testing too. Poor Chandhok

Damaged it quite bad too if I remember rightly.

He had been going on about trying to get himself a 1st team drive with Lotus and the practice session was all about impressing the bosses...did not go to well!!  :grin:

whoa!

McLaren just seem to have had a great start to the season in testing, and noone can beat Mclaren in a development race throughout the season so my feeling is they are favourites.
