The Week on Twitter: 1 Nov 2009

Lots of #F1 folk are in Abu Dhabi now, and tweeting about how amazing the circuit etc is. Jealous? Me? YES. #
More normal Friday practice times for #F1 in Abu Dhabi: 9am and 1pm GMT. 1pm GMT is 5pm local – also the start time for the day-night race. #
#F1 FP1 is go in Abu Dhabi, and Caroline Cheese is on BBC live text duties (http://is.gd/4HVeV). Happy Friday. #
#F1 Only Sutil yet to post a time in FP1. Fast laps coming thick and fast. VET, KOV, KUB, WEB, TRU is your top 5 right now. #
#F1 Hello hello, Button's just whacked to the top the time sheets, pretty much from nowhere. And now he's going faster. WEB P2, HAM P3. #
That's #F1 FP1 then. Hamilton top, a smidgen ahead of Button. Then VET, BAR, HEI, BUE, SUT, WEB. Buemi P6?! Madness. FP2 at 1pm. #
#F1 FP2 in Abu Dhabi starts in the light, and pretty much everyone's out on track straight away. #
#F1 This is the time the race will start, so we'll see how dark it is in 90 mins. I also want to see how much the temperature drops. #
#F1 Halfway through FP2, and your top five is HAM, KOV, BUE, BAR, VET. Looks excellent with the sun going down. I want to be there. #
And that's your #F1 FP2 lot. Top 8: KOV, HAM, BUT, VET, KOB, BUE, WEB, BAR. Anyone else get the feeling it's McLaren vs Brawn on Sunday? #
#F1 Eddie Jordan loves touching people, doesn't he? He can't help himself. #
#F1 Jay Kay says "we" need to catch up with the likes of Abu Dhabi. Why don't you finance the British GP then, Jay Kay? Cretin. #
#F1 Martin Brundle should do the grid walk alone. Or at least without Eddie Jordan. #
#F1 That computer generated replay thing is all good and well, but can we have that for Ross Brawn's face when Webber hit Barrichello? #
#F1 Nothing happening on track, not yet pit stop time, and I'm used to the lovely scenery now. Need is the sun to go down – that looks good. #
#F1 Everyone loves Kobayashi. If Toyota sign him for 2010, they might become a little less anonymous. #
#F1 Kobayashi still the only interesting thing in the race, then. #
#F1 At least it's dark enough for the hotel's fun multi-coloured lights to be on now. #
#F1 It's tough: I really want Button to get one more podium, but Kobayahsi on the podium would be fantastic. Everyone Loves Kobayahsi. #
#F1 Damn it. Reduction of BBC Red Button on Freeview means no 5 Live commentary option. Even though 5 Live is on Freeview already. Pff. #
#F1 So: not as good a race as Brazil. At all. But it will be something of a fitting final race if Button gets a podium. #
#F1 Exciting end to the race, even if Button failed to pass Webber. Vettel wins. That's 2009 done then. #
#F1 It looks all spanky there now, but quite fun to look at the Yas Marina Circuit on Google Maps. http://is.gd/4K6Dy #
#F1 Slappy man hugs all round at Red Bull Racing. #
#F1 Sweary Jenson Button! Oh dear. #
