Webber sets the pace in Friday practice. Button and Hamilton are second and third with Vettel 4th. Rain highly likely to affect the weekend at some point.

Hopefully we'll see an eventful race.

 

Teams saying they expect the tires to wear a lot more than in Melbourne. Some pundits predicting a 4 stop race.

 

Vettel apparently holding back in practice. Not sure if the Red Bulls have got KERS fitted. Would have thought it to be sensible that they do!

Looks like we get the chance to see who's the better driver between Lewis & Vettel tomorrow. Cars look evenly matched for pace. Shame Lewis is starting on the dirty side again.

Morning race fans.

 

Not a bad race so far.

 

If you can, have a look at the Sniff Petrol twitter feed while the race is going on. Quite entertaining.

Bored of Red Bull now.

 

Well done to Heidfeld and Button.

Not a bad race. Won't post the result yet in case anyone is waiting for the replay.

 

Quite enjoyed the "Petrov's of Hazzard" (© Sniff Petrol) moment though!
