Looking around, not sure - 90mins according to e.g.

http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2014/03/13/2 ... -tv-times/
http://www.grandprix.com.au (calendar box on right)

So I guess extra tyres, maybe extra drivers if you want, but no extra time.

There is a story going on that teams will skip FP3 in order to make sure they have a working car for qualifying.

Could be gossip, but it does look likely that atleast renault teams will do little running in fp3.

Those are more or less all pretty awful imo.

I prefer these (less adverts and more memorable):

Hamilton, Magnussen, Gutierrez, Chilton and Bianchi are all wrong in the 2014 list.

Hamilton's white helmet is just for Australia I think, like he does for Singapore.

From JLFs Facebook page, "2014" kind of makes me think it could be a permanent move.

Seems to be a reference to this: http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/still-i-rise/

You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may tread me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.

Or the other way around: Those that already tested the car during testing will not run in FP3 because they want to avoid problems, while the Renault teams don't have much data yet so they could use the time to learn new things about setup?

Before I read your coment, I was wondering 'wow, that helmet is equal to Lewis 2007/08' :lol:
