    Get in! This is gonna sound totally daft, but when I was a kid, like 9 or 10, I used to love seeing the cars coming in for pit stops, taking off the old rims all manky, and going out with super shinney new ones. Think thats possibly where my clean car obsession started!

    I'm hoping for some glowing brakes action in the night races ;-) Love that at Le Mans!

    If anyone is interested, live timings on this dutch site - De La Rosa in the Sauber is fastest. Took Schumacher 5 laps to beat Rosbergs time. You need to refresh it to update.

    Is it just me or has anyone else noticed what I noticed? ....and that is a couple of the cars appear to have something that ressembles L.E.Ds in the point of the nose cone!!! so I am assuming it must be lighting of some sort for either when its raining or for the races in Singapore or Abu-Dhabi when its dark (just so the cars in front can see that a car is behind them etc.

    Ah, I don't think that's LEDs - a lot of the teams have air vents built into the nose to cool the drivers down so I suspect that's what they are.
