0940: Now then, it's about time you did some work isn't it? Text 81111, tweet on Twitter or 606 on 606.

0937: Had an email from a friend in Abu Dhabi this morning describing the new circuit as "like a video game on steroids". Nice. Final practice - of the 2009 season in fact - is up in 23 minutes. Qualifying at 1300 GMT. Don't go anywhere. Unless you're working for the emergency services, in which case you are excused.


0930: Hello. Formula 1's great and good will have woken up in the luxurious five-star Yas Hotel. They will have marvelled at the white leather headboards of the beds, designed to resemble the billowing sails of a tall ship. They will have customised their mood lighting and wandered into the all-glass bathroom - with rain shower. They will have breakfasted in one of the nine fine restaurants. But they've missed a gloriously drizzly morning in Shepherds Bush. Oh yes.
