Just completed 2 laps – no need to take diversions or avoid lakes this time ! Progress on track is amazing in 6 weeks… Pics soon
Still get goose bumps everytime I drive around here !!
So fantastic to have big dreamers like the Gaur family to bring F1 to India !
They’ve just moved 3500 people in the last 15 days to ramp up progress !! Also means they need a 100 cooks for food apparently…
Museum taking shape…
The awesome banked turns 10-11 – will be over 210 kmh through here !
Turn 15 with the huge grandstand up ahead
The grandstands really taking shape – are you going to be in it ??
Pits and team buildings starting to look more in shape now !
The climb uphill through turn 2 towards the blind turn 3…
Vettel grabs Abu Dhabi pole
Elemezzünk egy kicsit.
Webber már megint mit csinál? Vagyis mit nem csinál? Azzal az autóval! Ez így nagyon kevés. Már Monza óta harmat és égeti a peches német. Ezzel az autóval elbukni az egyéni címet szégyen lesz az egész csapat számára. Márpedig jelenleg erre van a legnagyobb esély.
A McLarennek végre működik a hátsó szárnya. ‘Szétvet az öröm’ miatta. Ez a szárny Szuzukára lett kifejlesztve és csak most kezd el működni, szomorú. ‘Elefánt a porcelánboltban’, jegyezték meg Hamiltonról a közvetítésben. Hát ja. Sokan már paráznak is miatta, főleg az Alonso szurkolók. Mintha Hamiltonnak életcélja lenne holnap tönkretenni Alonso versenyét. Inkább győzni akar és jókedvűen befejezni ezt a szezont. Alonsot én inkább Buttontól és Webbertől félteném.
De akármilyen érdekesnek is ígérkezik a rajtrács, akármennyire is konspirálgatnak egyesek, hogy ki kit szeretne kitorpedózni, legnagyobb esélyt egy unalmas, vonatozós futamra látok.
Sebastian Vettel will start the Abu Dhabi title decider from pole position, with chief rivals Fernando Alonso third and Mark Webber only fifth.
The Red Bull drivers elected to do just one run in Q3, with the McLarens having already set times in the mid 1m39s a couple of minutes earlier.
Vettel immediately took provisional pole and then bettered his own time again, while Webber struggled to keep pace with his team-mate and remained behind the times the McLarens set on their first runs.
When the McLarens and Ferraris came back out for one lap at the end, Lewis Hamilton claimed a place on the front row alongside Vettel, seconds before Alonso pipped Jenson Button to the head of the second row.
Webber was left in fifth, and will start alongside Ferrari’s Felipe Massa.
Hamilton had survived an earlier scare in Q2 when he was still to post a decent time in the final minutes of the segment. Having already out-braked himself to ruin an earlier lap, he was searching for a gap in the traffic when he appeared to delay Massa on the way into a left hander – though Hamilton did run off the track and collect a bollard in getting out of the way.
Button had complained of a “massive vibration” in his McLaren at the beginning of Q1, but after pitting for treatment to his brakes he found his pace, finishing second only to Vettel in Q2.
Mercedes bucked the trend as Michael Schumacher and Nico Rosberg did the majority of their running on the harder tyre. It worked for them in the early rounds, particularly Rosberg who was second in Q1 and third in Q2, but come Q3 they did only one run each and ended up with Schumacher eighth and Rosberg ninth.
Rubens Barrichello put Williams into seventh ahead of the two Mercedes, while Renault’s Vitaly Petrov completed the top 10.
His team-mate, Robert Kubica ended his run of making it through to Q3 in every race at the final hurdle. Petrov had already made it through, and sat as high as seventh during Q2, but Kubica could not match his time and the Pole’s scrappy last-gasp effort fell more than a tenth short.
Sauber’s Kamui Kobayashi will start alongside Kubica in 11th, with Adrian Sutil (Force India) and Nick Heidfeld (Sauber) on row seven. Brazil pole-sitter Nico Hulkenberg was just 15th for Williams, with Vitantonio Liuzzi and Jaime Alguersuari concluding the Q2 runners.
The shame of joining the six new team drivers in the elimination zone at the end of Q1 was a battle between Toro Rosso team-mates Sebastien Buemi and Alguersuari.
Buemi held the spot going onto the final laps, but Alguersuari overhauled him by just over a tenth to make it into Q2.
At the back, Jarno Trulli out-qualified Lotus team-mate Heikki Kovalainen, with Timo Glock beating Lucas di Grassi and Bruno Senna ahead of Christian Klien.

‘Fantastica Abu Dhabi’
Abu Dhabi FP2: Hamilton, Vettel, Alonso, Webber
Hamilton bejelentkezett a futamgyőzelemért…
Lewis Hamilton set the quickest time of the second free practice session in Abu Dhabi on Friday.
The McLaren driver raised hopes that he might be able to compete for victory on Sunday by outpacing both Red Bulls and Fernando Alonso’s Ferrari.
The Yas Marina circuit was two seconds faster than in the day’s earlier session, with the times coming down as more rubber was laid on the track.
Alonso’s Ferrari had been quickest after most of the runners had completed their first long runs on the harder tyre, but Hamilton took the top spot as all the frontrunners improved on the softer compound.
Sebastian Vettel was second behind Alonso early on and improved on the soft tyre to finish second to Hamilton. Alonso ended the 90-minute session third, with Mark Webber fourth.
There were few changes in the final minutes as both Red Bull and Ferrari were lapping on heavy fuel loads at the end.
Robert Kubica was best of the non-title contenders in fifth for Renault, ahead of Felipe Massa (Ferrari), Vitaly Petrov (Renault), Jenson Button (McLaren) and Vitantonio Liuzzi (Force India).
Massa’s session ended early though, when his Ferrari stopped out on track with 22 minutes remaining, due to a reported fuel problem.
Aside from a few more cars sliding off the slippery surface, the only other incident of note was Jaime Alguersuari spinning, but coming to no harm, at Turn 19 with half an hour to run.

Abu Dhabi FP1: Vettel, Hamilton, Button, Webber
A Red Bull brutálgyorsnak tűnik, elsődlegesen Vettellel. A McLaren nem rossz, talán nem is lesz olyan nagy lemaradásuk. Hamilton leggyorsabb körében pálya melletti műfüves kirándulások is voltak, eldobhatott akár fél másodpercet is. Ferrari értékelhetetlen, mint szinte mindig az első szabadedzéseken. Megint valami agyonhasznált motor van benn, amit már ‘generálozni kéne, a sivatagban is szívatóval indul és eszi a Botond olajat’. Nem tudom, hogy mire lehet képes a Ferrari ezen a pályán. Papíron ez (is) Red Bull pálya a sok lassú kanyar miatt és a csúcssebességük is rendben van, Neweyék is már kihozták az F-Ductból, ami benne van. A hétvége nagy kérdése, hogy melyik csapat lehet a Red Bull sarkában, a Ferrari vagy a McLaren. Ha a brit csapat, akkor Alonso átmegy majd Hamilton szurkolóba a hétvégén, hogy a McLarenje ne csak második erő legyen, hanem a futamon első.
Sebastian Vettel set the fastest time of Friday’s first practice session in Abu Dhabi.
The Yas Marina track was damp at the beginning, following a surprise downpour this morning.
Friday’s first practice is usually an exercise in circuit cleaning and that was the case even more today thanks to the patches of damp, particulary in the shade of the unique circuit’s bridges and trackside buildings.
Both McLaren and Red Bull spent time early on testing parts on their cars, with both having brought upgraded rear wings to the season finale. Mark Webber particularly spent laps early on assessing the wing with flow-vis paint on his RB6.
Everyone posted at least installation laps but few returned for much meaningful running until the last half hour – Lewis Hamilton, for example did not complete a timed lap until there were just 18 minutes left on the clock.
When the times did fall into the 1m43s, it was the Red Bulls of Webber and Vettel, and Hamilton’s McLaren that set the pace.
All 24 cars were on the circuit at the end of the 90-minute session, by which time the circuit was in good enough condition for Vettel to break into the 1m42s.
That left him six tenths clear of Hamilton, with Jenson Button jumping up to third late on in the second McLaren. Webber finished up fourth, ahead of Robert Kubica’s Renault and Fernando Alonso’s Ferrari.
Michael Schumacher, Kamui Kobayashi, Nico Rosberg and Nick Heidfeld completed the top 10.
The session passed without any major incidents. Several cars had trips off the damp track early on, but Fairuz Fauzy (Lotus) was the only one to spin. Rubens Barrichello’s Williams stopped on his way back to the pits after the chequered flag.
