I'd like to change my guess. I think I've underestimated the effect of the track changes:

This was a really tough one, new layout and no reference from the previous two or three years. Still not sure whether those in the 1:15s are on the money, or those of us in the 17s.

I'll tell you tomorrow :wink: :haha:

Just wait until you get a race with rain showers predicted during quali, then you'll know what tough is :cool:

How about we just agree now to split the difference and go with ... how about a low 1:16? ... yes? Fair? Good :P.

So can we split the points as well then? But only if I lose :tongue:

My time is wrong.... I edited mine before the deadline (made a note in my edit of the exact time and posted the time showing on the session countdown clock time at F1.com.)

Posted as 1:17.488 ..... the time you list (1:18.888) is my original time.

But you edited it after I put times in the table! :haha:

I updated it, but I'm not going to repost yet.

Lol.... actually I had meant to edit it earlier on and fell asleep before I did it. Fortunately I got woken at 4am (Spanish time) by my security camera / doorbell in Aus alerting me that someone was ringing my front door repeatedly! So I got woken at 4am in Spain because someone (it was midday in Aus) was ringing my front door. So I quickly checked it was still before the P1 start deadline (by half an hour still) and made my edit.

It was actually a friend of mine I hadnt seen for a while couldnt get through on my mobile (I use a temporary local Spanish Sim in my phone when here cos its much cheaper than paying Intl Roaming to Aus).... I rang him to see what he wanted .... he didnt know I was away and was wanting to know if I was going to / what was I doing for the race! Blah blah blah. :haha: :haha:

He changed his time, @XcraigX has listed his old time, he changed it to 1:17.156, I bet he wished he hadn't :shocked:

Poor @DownForce :sorrow:
