While Valencia is a beautiful city, and the view from the Energy Station is stunning and the Fishmarket garage a novelty, the Paddock geography set-up doesn’t quite work. The team’s chiropractor was based in neither garage nor Energy Station, you had to walk through the Toro Rosso garage to get to the toilets and the press complained (nothing particularly novel there…) about having to run around from pillar to post in the scorching heat to get from interviews in the motorhome to the press room.

This evening the Energy Station hosted the annual Paddock press officers dinner. Some were either late or unable to attend as their drivers had to attend a photo session called by Mr Ecclestone on the beach to show support for Fundacion Pequeño deseo, an organisation which benefits terminally ill children.

What did the press offices discuss? No idea. No-one was saying anything… all we got was ‘no comment.’ Read into that what you will.

After a disappointing morning and a relatively better afternoon we’re hoping for more improvements on the track tomorrow…
