That wasn't an incredibly good day for the team, they had problems... on the 1st practice Lucas did only 2 laps(only installation laps), but the 2nd practice was much better, he completed 21 laps. We will see what's going to happen tomorrow. Hopefully only good things! Good luck to Lucas! And follow our Twitter for live commentary. Almost 100 photos of Lucas already. Check them out!
I uploaded the new photos from today to the gallery. Hope you like them. Lucas's first F1 practice will be tomorrow! Don't forget to watch it if you can! Almost every team is working tonight, to make the car ready for the practices. I will try to give you links tomorrow, follow us on Twitter for fresh updates! Practice 1 10:00 | Practice 2 14:00 (Bahrain GMT+3)
The first photos have arrived from Bahrain! Great! Bahrain photos And take a look at the updated Virgin Racing website. Lucas: “It’s very exciting to be here at last, ready to take part in our debut Grand Prix. It’s also my own personal F1 debut which definitely makes this weekend the high point of my career. I’d like to thank everybody in the team for the hard work and determination that we have all seen, especially over the past few weeks in pre-season testing. It hasn’t always gone our way but the team have fought hard and their spirits are high. Bahrain will be a tough challenge for sure. We will need to learn how to get the maximum out of the car in race weekend conditions.” Bahrain 'high point' in Lucas career Read the article
Luckily F1 starts this weekend, what is more...sooner, because the practices are on Friday and Lucas has arrived to Bahrain already. This will be a really important race for Lucas and for us too. Lucas's dream becomes true, and we were able to follow him from the beginning (especially from his GP2 years), I will never forget those days. Hopefully he can show his talent to everyone and demonstrate that his place in Formula 1! Go Lucas! Good luck!
TW Steel announced yesterday that they will be Lucas' "Official Timing Partner" in 2010. Some words about what TW Steel is... it's an international Dutch watch brand, they are famous for making oversized watches. Actually Lucas was wearing them before, so he was already a fan of them.
