Live Commenting: Turkey - Free Practice 3
Saturday dawns and good lord a number of teams have a lot of work to do!
Today’s final session is 60 minutes long, the weekend’s gear ratios have now been selected, race engines and gearboxes come into play and with any luck we’ll find out who has the pace on a light fuel run.
Yesterday teams faced problems with cold temperatures, a green (and sometimes wet) track, but what challenges will today bring? At the moment it’s dry out there, but cloudy and there’s little chance of rain early on in the day.
It doesn’t need repeating (oh, go on then) that we’ll be following live timing online, and as ITV don’t cover this session, it’s TVlizer coverage for us this morning.
Additionally 5Live are covering practice on 5Live Sports Extra.
Shout if you’re about, and if you have better visuals than us, please let us know.

Hi Lou,
Tired but good! Nice to have you back
May 10th, 2008 at 8:44 amme said:
drop.io link, should anyone fancy giving it (another) try:
May 10th, 2008 at 8:45 amlou said:
its absolutely brilliant to be back! I really missed it yesterday….your not gonna be able to get rid of me today
May 10th, 2008 at 8:46 amAlianora La Canta said:
Hello! I’m a bit surprised to be here because usually I’m out shopping at this time, but it’s good to be here.
May 10th, 2008 at 8:48 amme said:
yay
who needs food when you have F1, right?
May 10th, 2008 at 8:48 amAlianora La Canta said:
Has anything happened yet?
May 10th, 2008 at 8:49 amlou said:
Hey Me, thanks for the reminder i will try it again now
May 10th, 2008 at 8:50 amlou said:
10 mins till it starts
May 10th, 2008 at 8:50 amme said:
nothing as far as i know. session starts in 10 mins. live timing has yet to reset and the tv is showing kayaking.
May 10th, 2008 at 8:52 amChristine said:
On Autosport Live:
07:48 The marshals this morning are already being kept busy by the local wildlife, as several of them are busy chasing a hare, which, so far has evaded attempts to catch it as it runs loose around the circuit.
May 10th, 2008 at 8:52 amAlianora La Canta said:
Note to everyone - TVU reports that Wheels is having technical difficulties, is slower than usual to load and it doesn’t appear to be broadcasting Saturday practise anyway.
May 10th, 2008 at 8:53 amlou said:
ehehehe! lol thats funny!
May 10th, 2008 at 8:53 amMichael Roberts said:
Morning all. May have to pop out later in the session- got me a Peugeot test drive at 10.
May 10th, 2008 at 8:54 amAlianora La Canta said:
Are you not getting a picture on TVlizer either or is it just me?
May 10th, 2008 at 8:54 amlou said:
me, this sounds stupid….but can i just click the button you have included (if it is a button)…. and will it download it to the sidpodcast area?
May 10th, 2008 at 8:54 amme said:
howdy, that’s more Le Mans than F1 isn’t it?
May 10th, 2008 at 8:55 amme said:
i have it, but it’s not showing f1 at the moment
correct, yup.
May 10th, 2008 at 8:56 amAlianora La Canta said:
OK, Michael, just enjoy it here while you can and hope you enjoy the Peugeot.
May 10th, 2008 at 8:57 amMichael Roberts said:
Well it’s a Peugeot 107, so its got about as much power as a 2007 Honda.
May 10th, 2008 at 8:57 amlou said:
lol i knew that
thanks, right will give it a go….
May 10th, 2008 at 8:57 amAlianora La Canta said:
I got no picture on TVlizer at all. If all I’m going to get is the French voiceover, I might as well use Radio Five Live instead…
May 10th, 2008 at 8:58 amme said:
live timing has woken up:
- track: 20deg
- air: 15deg
- track: dry
May 10th, 2008 at 8:58 amme said:
odd, i have picture but no sound.
May 10th, 2008 at 8:59 amLadySnowcat said:
Pretty cool again….
May 10th, 2008 at 9:00 amAlianora La Canta said:
The Force Indias are out promptly - not too promptly I hope!
May 10th, 2008 at 9:00 amScott Woodwiss said:
Hi guys, can you be my eyes and ears, i’m not on live timing this morning
May 10th, 2008 at 9:00 amlou said:
brilliant radio has woken up too!
May 10th, 2008 at 9:01 amme said:
it is, more spinning likely then
both force india’s take to the track, the light was green.
May 10th, 2008 at 9:02 amlou said:
Happy Birthday Heidfeld!
May 10th, 2008 at 9:02 amAlianora La Canta said:
I like that reminder to Webber to brake!
May 10th, 2008 at 9:03 amChristine said:
The usual installation laps are being completed. Wonder when the Ferrari’s will come out today.
May 10th, 2008 at 9:03 amme said:
installation laps all around then. just the ferrari’s sitting it out.
May 10th, 2008 at 9:04 amLadySnowcat said:
Is that brake for Webber..
Or break?…
May 10th, 2008 at 9:05 amAlianora La Canta said:
Honda was full of pretend Rubens Barrichellos, apparently!
May 10th, 2008 at 9:05 amKathi said:
Morning
May 10th, 2008 at 9:05 amLadySnowcat said:
Shame about all these “puddles” in the dips…
May 10th, 2008 at 9:06 amAlianora La Canta said:
Everyone has now completed their installation laps.
May 10th, 2008 at 9:06 amme said:
track temp rising quicker than yesterday. hopefully damp should dry quickly.
May 10th, 2008 at 9:06 amLadySnowcat said:
Bless him…
Rubens out on his own…
May 10th, 2008 at 9:07 amme said:
hi kathi, what can you see / hear today?
May 10th, 2008 at 9:07 amAlianora La Canta said:
Barrichello appears to be going on to do a proper lap
May 10th, 2008 at 9:07 amme said:
tv showing kubica out of the car and in no hurry.
May 10th, 2008 at 9:08 amAlianora La Canta said:
Barrichello went into the pits without setting a proper lap.
May 10th, 2008 at 9:09 amAlianora La Canta said:
“This is the high-tech world of Formula 1… …does anyone have a broom” Good one from Five Live!
May 10th, 2008 at 9:09 amScott Woodwiss said:
If there’s standing water on the track, you can guarentee the cars won’t be doing much standing still when they hit it!
May 10th, 2008 at 9:10 amChristine said:
So, when it’s wet, they all just sit in the garages. Maybe they should mandate a certain number of laps teams have to do in each FP session. Like, ten or something. At least that way we’re guaranteed some action.
May 10th, 2008 at 9:10 amme said:
tv now showing a close up of river pouring across the track. shades of interlagos here. wouldn’t fancy driving that on a set of softs.
May 10th, 2008 at 9:10 amKathi said:
I’m living in Finland at the moment. We get every session per pay-TV. Unfortunately my Finnish isn’t that good. So I don’t understand a word of what the commentators are saying
May 10th, 2008 at 9:11 amme said:
dark clouds still hanging around over the circuit. no sign of any sunshine. still not many fans in the grandstands.
May 10th, 2008 at 9:11 amlou said:
yah! it worked! have just put a pic of rubens livery on drop.io as a trial
May 10th, 2008 at 9:11 amAlianora La Canta said:
They’d probably do the same as now and wait until as late as possible to fulfil their quota.
May 10th, 2008 at 9:12 amScott Woodwiss said:
How wet is it over there?
May 10th, 2008 at 9:13 amLadySnowcat said:
Guys have you the TVlizer link as ITV isn’t working for me…surprise, surprise…
May 10th, 2008 at 9:13 amDank said:
More showers for midday apparently!
May 10th, 2008 at 9:14 amDank said:
ITV don’t have the rights to show Saturday practice?!!
May 10th, 2008 at 9:14 amme said:
good stuff. we’ve got a stuttering picture via french eurosport
just the last couple of corners i think. one river and some damp patches.
May 10th, 2008 at 9:14 amlou said:
oh and now drop.io is having trouble loading (like last night/ this morning) I can’t even manage to get up the little add files button anymore
May 10th, 2008 at 9:15 amAlianora La Canta said:
Five Live has given out the engine statistics… …and some of them are wrong…
May 10th, 2008 at 9:15 amme said:
nope. although we’ve never figured out why not?

May 10th, 2008 at 9:16 amlou said:
oh dear…which ones were wrong?
May 10th, 2008 at 9:16 amme said:
haha, should we text them?
May 10th, 2008 at 9:16 amChristine said:
08:14 Official weather forecast latest: No rain during third practice. Risk of rain in 45 minutes.
May 10th, 2008 at 9:17 amAlianora La Canta said:
I can’t get a picture with that method, so I’m settling for Sidepodcast, F1 Fanatic, live timing and Five Live.
May 10th, 2008 at 9:17 amme said:
ahh nuts. i can see the pic you’ve put up though
May 10th, 2008 at 9:17 amlou said:
lol yes! ehehe that would be funny! wonder if they would except their mistake or hide it?
May 10th, 2008 at 9:17 amAlianora La Canta said:
Glock’s gone out on track!
May 10th, 2008 at 9:18 amlou said:
yay! well at least it worked. I will check it again after practice
May 10th, 2008 at 9:18 amChristine said:
So, we’re looking at TVlizer and he goes: “Is that a car?”
Not the best coverage, I’m thinking.
May 10th, 2008 at 9:19 amme said:
mr glock the first to make a break for it.
May 10th, 2008 at 9:19 amLadySnowcat said:
Thanks for the link….
I am intrigued by the idea of rain in 45mins…
May 10th, 2008 at 9:20 amlou said:
my picture is better than ususal….not by much…but its abit better
May 10th, 2008 at 9:20 amKathi said:
It costs 11,87 pounds/month. No ads but almost no pre/post show either.
May 10th, 2008 at 9:20 amLadySnowcat said:
Lewis coming out…
May 10th, 2008 at 9:21 amScott Woodwiss said:
I wonder if this weather is going to carry on into qualifying. It would certainly make it very exciting.
They were talking about having no wet data here. BMW could borrow some from their World Touring Car team, they did a race there in the wet.
May 10th, 2008 at 9:22 amme said:
good stuff. so are the teams just going to dry the track themselves, because sitting and waiting isn’t working.
May 10th, 2008 at 9:22 amChristine said:
Qualifying’s gonna be super duper if it rains.
May 10th, 2008 at 9:23 amAlianora La Canta said:
It certainly will, especially Q1. Maybe Force India might get one of their drivers through to Q2 after all…
May 10th, 2008 at 9:24 amDank said:
I know we briefly touched on this yesterday, but is that really David Croft coughing and spluttering in the background on 5 Live? I might text in to voice my concerns about his apparent lack of health.
May 10th, 2008 at 9:24 amAlianora La Canta said:
Bourdais has spun…
May 10th, 2008 at 9:25 amAlianora La Canta said:
He just missed the wall, apparently. He has finished his lap though…
May 10th, 2008 at 9:25 amlou said:
Im hoping that if it rains the hondas will qualify well (as per usual
)
May 10th, 2008 at 9:25 amLadySnowcat said:
I mentioned yesterday that Mr Croft is a smoker…
May 10th, 2008 at 9:26 amAlianora La Canta said:
Sutil is beating Fisichella again.
May 10th, 2008 at 9:26 amme said:
has been since the start of the season. the boy’s not well.
May 10th, 2008 at 9:26 amLadySnowcat said:
They are mentioning Nakajima…I agree he’s looking like the real deal for Japan….
May 10th, 2008 at 9:27 amAlianora La Canta said:
Raikkonen’s out.
May 10th, 2008 at 9:27 amLadySnowcat said:
Here come the Ferraris…
Nico going quite well…
May 10th, 2008 at 9:27 amChristine said:
It’s definitely not a smoker’s cough.
May 10th, 2008 at 9:28 amAlianora La Canta said:
Rosberg’s quickest!
May 10th, 2008 at 9:28 amLadySnowcat said:
I think you’ll find that whatever he has is exacerbated by his smoking… he stayed at the same hotel as I did last year at one of the races…
May 10th, 2008 at 9:28 amlou said:
nice lap from rosberg
May 10th, 2008 at 9:29 amChristine said:
Alonso P1
May 10th, 2008 at 9:29 amme said:
cold tyres out of the box, and he’s behind nico and alonso at the moment.
May 10th, 2008 at 9:29 amAlianora La Canta said:
Alonso’s quickest now!
May 10th, 2008 at 9:29 amChristine said:
Raikkonen is ninth fastest??
May 10th, 2008 at 9:29 amlou said:
wow! Alonso quickest! kimi abit slow
May 10th, 2008 at 9:30 amChristine said:
Bourdais went back into the pits after his spin… bit shaken up
May 10th, 2008 at 9:30 amLadySnowcat said:
Interesting that the Renaults are looking good…
Piquet a fastest sector just then….
May 10th, 2008 at 9:30 amAlianora La Canta said:
Fisi’s car is bottoming out. Looks like Force India didn’t take Steven Roy’s advice yesterday…
May 10th, 2008 at 9:30 amLadySnowcat said:
Ferrari are really struggling…
May 10th, 2008 at 9:30 amChristine said:
Hamilton 4hundredths behind Alonso… the battle begins.
May 10th, 2008 at 9:31 amlou said:
Hamilton still behind Alonso, Alonso still p1.
Renaul doing well!
May 10th, 2008 at 9:31 amlou said:
Rosberg P1
May 10th, 2008 at 9:31 amme said:
piquet is fourth and ferni p1, there’s some pace in the renault again this weekend.
May 10th, 2008 at 9:31 amAlianora La Canta said:
I hope Raikkonen’s doing endurance work or something. He can’t even beat Fisichella at the moment…
May 10th, 2008 at 9:32 amLadySnowcat said:
Ferrari tyres are coming in…
May 10th, 2008 at 9:32 amAlianora La Canta said:
Hamilton and Piquet are having a good fight over P1, and Alonso looks like he will join the scrap soon.
May 10th, 2008 at 9:32 amme said:
is that what the slow-mo was showing? couldn’t see for sure. was there an STR with the same problem?
May 10th, 2008 at 9:32 amSteven Roy said:
Made it at last and just in time to get a mention from Ali. The bottom of the back of Fisi’s car was spewing sawdust everywhere yesterday. Could be the first illegal plank penalty in years
May 10th, 2008 at 9:33 amAlianora La Canta said:
Nakajima’s spun at Turn 6.
May 10th, 2008 at 9:34 amme said:
kaz spins in front of one of the ferrari’s
May 10th, 2008 at 9:34 amScott Woodwiss said:
Ferrari finding a loophole in the engine freeze regs? How?!
May 10th, 2008 at 9:34 amLadySnowcat said:
I am intrigued by Nelson…
May 10th, 2008 at 9:34 amAlianora La Canta said:
Ironically, the last one was Jarno Trulli’s Jordan in the US GP of 2001. Jordan escaped on a technicality (one of the three stewards forgot to agree with the other two because he’d gone home early).
May 10th, 2008 at 9:35 amlou said:
How much has renault improved by? 6 tenths (i have nooo idea, can you guess)? would be good if it was….would suggest that Alonso can bring 6 tenths to a team
May 10th, 2008 at 9:35 amSteven Roy said:
Kovi purple in S1
May 10th, 2008 at 9:35 amLadySnowcat said:
Kimi gets there….
May 10th, 2008 at 9:36 amAlianora La Canta said:
Engines can be changed until the engine is homologated. That occurred for Ferrari at the end of Bahrain. If the changes were brought through before then, I don’t think Ferrari’s rivals have a leg to stand on.
May 10th, 2008 at 9:36 amme said:
he knows this track well though doesn’t he. might be his weekend for a comeback
May 10th, 2008 at 9:37 amDank said:
DC in fourth. Hope he can keep up this momentum from yesterday afternoon and put it into good use for qualifying later.
May 10th, 2008 at 9:37 amLadySnowcat said:
Mario actually said he was happy about the Ferrari engine situation…I think it’s on autosport.com …
May 10th, 2008 at 9:38 amKathi said:
I think it was Vettel bottoming out as he went over the curbs
May 10th, 2008 at 9:38 amLadySnowcat said:
Kimi through the pits…
May 10th, 2008 at 9:40 amLadySnowcat said:
DC…
Let’s hope he isn’t flattering to deceive….
Vettel seems quite quick for a Toro Rosso…
May 10th, 2008 at 9:41 amme said:
kubica doing the least laps of all so far. heidfeld really keeping his powder dry.
May 10th, 2008 at 9:42 amLadySnowcat said:
Well my money wouldn’t be on the Kimster for pole….
May 10th, 2008 at 9:42 amme said:
clouds menacingly lurking in the background.
May 10th, 2008 at 9:43 amLadySnowcat said:
It looks like Rubens isn’t going to have a great weekend…
May 10th, 2008 at 9:44 amSteven Roy said:
The humidity is dropping like a stone so I don’t think it will rain this session
May 10th, 2008 at 9:44 amme said:
kovi doesn’t seem to have the pace to challenge lewis at the moment. yesterday he had no problems keeping ahead for most of both sessions.
May 10th, 2008 at 9:44 amAlianora La Canta said:
The spectator count is very low today, according to Five Live.
May 10th, 2008 at 9:44 amSteven Roy said:
Webber P2
May 10th, 2008 at 9:44 amDank said:
Webber gone 2nd now. Purple S3.
May 10th, 2008 at 9:45 amAlianora La Canta said:
Trull’s gone wide!
May 10th, 2008 at 9:45 amAlianora La Canta said:
Trulli, sorry. Evidently Toyota will suffer if it rains for qualifying.
May 10th, 2008 at 9:46 amme said:
is that webber in 2nd?
May 10th, 2008 at 9:46 amlou said:
Jenson had problems last week and then had a great race…so you never now

That’s true, lou.

Rubens heard me and decided to get a move on…
May 10th, 2008 at 9:47 amlou said:
wow Red bulls doing well!
May 10th, 2008 at 9:47 amLadySnowcat said:
Button just ruined a decent lap in the last sector….

Ten minutes left now. Will we see some last ditch efforts from everyone?
May 10th, 2008 at 9:50 amLadySnowcat said:
Piquet getting closer to Fernando this week and the Renaults seem to like the conditions…
May 10th, 2008 at 9:50 amme said:

DC P1
May 10th, 2008 at 9:50 amDank said:
DC top?!!
May 10th, 2008 at 9:50 amAlianora La Canta said:
I think that’s likely.
May 10th, 2008 at 9:51 amLadySnowcat said:
Track is drying and the purples starting again…
May 10th, 2008 at 9:51 amlou said:
omg! A i seeing things DC in P1!

Webber purple S1

Kimi is in trouble.. another bad first sector…
May 10th, 2008 at 9:56 amChristine Blachford said:
Button’s up to 7th - not bad for the Honda. Having a relatively good weekend so far. Hope it continues to Quali.

Red Bull 1 and 2

Rain forecast shortly!
May 10th, 2008 at 9:58 amLadySnowcat said:
Slightly better for Kimi…
May 10th, 2008 at 9:58 amme said:
webber faster than last year’s pole (although that was with fuel and in warmer conditions).
May 10th, 2008 at 9:58 amlou said:
Kimi in 10th! not something i expected to see, he does not seem to have the speed today.

I think I’ll have to take a valium before qualy…
At this rate Kimi won’t make Q3…
May 10th, 2008 at 10:00 amlou said:
Kimi is not gonna be happy

Alonso P2 & P6???????????

Alonso splits the Red Bulls and trounces Piquet Jr - he’ll be pleased…

They are on their last laps now

Impressed that Trulli picked it up from last to 4th. Happy that Alonso pushed into second at the last minute. Amazed that Raikkonen and Kovi are so far down the list.

interestingly the first 3 cars are the ones running the giant dorsal fin.

Vettel finished ahead of Bourdais… damn.
May 10th, 2008 at 10:02 amLadySnowcat said:
Well the Red Bulls and REnaults looking quick…
But on that showing I have Lewis and Alonso 1 and 2….

if it rains now and washes the rubber clean, it’s going to be a blinding qually
May 10th, 2008 at 10:03 amlou said:
Jenson 9th, Rubens 14.
hope Rubens does not have any problems! Maccas not that fast either…Heikki 12th, Lewis 7th
May 10th, 2008 at 10:03 amLadySnowcat said:
I wonder if they’ll get rain or just light drizzle..
May 10th, 2008 at 10:04 amSteven Roy said:
Yet another confusing session
May 10th, 2008 at 10:04 amAlianora La Canta said:
Proper rain, I hope!
May 10th, 2008 at 10:05 amLadySnowcat said:
I think the Macca are happy and were just trying heavier fuel runs for Q3…
Red Bull would be more Q2 pace… and Renault could be the same but also doing a Barce in Q3 too…

Heidfeld P19
Williams slow
Sutil needs more polish
May 10th, 2008 at 10:06 amme said:
very confusing. is that heidfeld’s worst practice finishing position of the year?
how did kaz end up so far back from nico?
May 10th, 2008 at 10:06 amAlianora La Canta said:
Never rely on a practise session from Heidfeld to tell you where he’ll finish in the race…
May 10th, 2008 at 10:07 amLadySnowcat said:
Sutil needs something..but I am not sure it’s polish…
Although given that Kubica is Polish perhaps you are right….
May 10th, 2008 at 10:07 amAlianora La Canta said:
Not sure. Different approaches or Rosberg just more comfortable?
May 10th, 2008 at 10:07 amLadySnowcat said:
Heidfeld is often low in practice but this may be his lowest yet…
May 10th, 2008 at 10:09 amLadySnowcat said:
Well at least we know who looks like being in P20 come the race….
And it’s probably not Sutil…
May 10th, 2008 at 10:10 amAlianora La Canta said:
No - Adrian will probably get caught in someone else’s crash (maybe Vettel’s)…
May 10th, 2008 at 10:12 amme said:
final times for FP3:
May 10th, 2008 at 10:13 amSteven Roy said:
I don’t understand how Sutil can be 0.6 slower than Fisi when Fisi’s car is dragging along the ground

Btw, I’m usually recording all sessions. So if any of you want a special scene, I can upload them for you. This weekend I have two exams to revise for but from next race on I should have more time.
May 10th, 2008 at 10:15 amAlianora La Canta said:
Because Adrian lost a session of set-up time yesterday. Yes, apparently dragging the car along the ground is faster than whatever Adrian’s doing to his own. I just hope Fisi doesn’t get a DQ to go with the grid penalty…
May 10th, 2008 at 10:16 amLadySnowcat said:
The grid penalty should see him in 20th though…
May 10th, 2008 at 10:19 amlou said:
Lets hope Heidfeld improves…or its not going to be the best birthday for him.
May 10th, 2008 at 10:20 amme said:
much appreciated
yesterday i could’ve done with a good look at webber’s accident, but not sure there was anything major in happening in this session. i’m sure we’ll watch anything you have though
May 10th, 2008 at 10:21 amAlianora La Canta said:
Heidfeld will almost certainly improve. This is just the extreme version of his usual pattern.
May 10th, 2008 at 10:21 amme said:
