For F1 fans, coverage of the qualifying session for the European Grand Prix in
Valencia airs Saturday night at 21:30 EAST on ONE HD and is repeated
at 01:30 AEST Sunday morning on Ten.

With a New Moon weekend now upon us, it might be a case of record on the PVR and
watch later.

Practice 1 session just completed with Maldonado setting a 1:40.890
followed by Vettel on a 1:40.973, Webber on a 1:40.984 and Button on a 1:40.994.
Nothing between them.

In the closing minutes, Webber gesticulated with a closed fist at his friend Alonso
in the slower Ferrari which was holding him up as they turned into the main straight.
