The backpack is ready (binoculars, rain coat, some fruit, ticket...), the forecast is cloudy with 30% chance of rain...
The practice schedule for tomorrow is:
11h às 12h (F-1)
14h às 15h (F-1)
15h20 às 15h55 (Porsche Cup)
16h05 às 16h40 (Trofeo Maserati)
16h50 às 17h25 (Fórmula Renault)
To watch the red bull struggling with the bumpy (and wet!) streets of sao paulo:

To watch Schumi poking fun at Barrichello (when asked by a TV comedy show what he'd do if one day he woke up and realized he'd turned into Rubens):

Then they gave him a turtle (the Turtlechello or something like it) to remind him of his former teammate...

Whatever will you do with your time in 2007, manchild?

Enjoy marcosp, this is a race I wish I could spectate. Not only the drama, but the atmosphere from the crowds will be fantastic.
Where will you be watching from?

I was watching live timing and was, kind of, hoping that Alonso will try to beat Michael's time in FP2, and in the process blow up his engine. Why, oh, why didn't he???

He'll stay in Ferrari as one of the team bosses so the show goes on

Intresting times for Mclaren today. Are they on the right track for next season or just another good performance on a circuit that suits the car?

You probably know this, but don't forget your earplugs, Marcos (talking about your backpack, I mean). Go Massa! (Oh. I'm sorry. Is he evil?)

First day of practice is over, the times seem interesting. There are the usual super-quick third cars of Wurtz, Davidson, and Vittel strutting their usual fantasticly quick lap times, then the rest who are serious. Both Toyotas and Hondas are up there in the charts, it should shape up to an interesting battle of the Japanese manufacturers. Renault are following their usual pattern, just putting in development laps, nothing spectacular, nothing to be ashamed about. Michael, Fernando, and Kimi are all very close in best times, so expect those three to once again set the pace for everyone else. The rest of the pack don't hold much surprises, we shall just have to see who does what in qualifying.

The Wurz/Davidson way: run an underweight car
