Parece que ningun canal de deportes se animó a transmitir la carrera para latinoamerica, vamos a tener que buscar algun stream para poder verla.

Lo que dicen algunos de los pilotos
Prost: "The Scirocco is the best car for me because it's automatic. It doesn't have a clutch!"
Bleekemolen: "Hopefully I get to drive the Porsche a lot, but all the cars are great to drive."
Priaulx:" It's great to have Jason (Plato) here, he'll be exciting both on and off the track!"
Kovalainen:" Of course I've got good memories. I'm looking forward to the race. The cars are great fun, especially the Porsche."
Por cierto hoy las practicas se dividieron en 2 grupos, luego de que el primer grupo terminara la practica pasaron a la conferencia de prensa como vemos en la foto:

Mas opiniones de los pilotos que formaron parte de la 1era practica
Tom Kristensen: “I think Team Nordic can go very far - Heikki has a very good record in this event. I would like to be in the final and do better than when I was against Sébastien Loeb in the 2005 Race of Champions final at the Stade de France, when I crashed out. It would be nice to have a good result because this is a great event with a great atmosphere. We have a lot more cars this year and it will be a great challenge to be tapped on the shoulder five minutes before your race and told only then which car you have to drive.”
Andy Priaulx: “It’s great to have Jason Plato on board as part of Team GB; I think he will be very exciting both on and off the track! I am missing Jenson Button, who was my Team GB team-mate last year because he was great fun last year and we were getting faster and faster. Hopefully, fingers crossed, Jason will be really quick and we will have good fun.”
Jeroen Bleekemolen: “I have to say all the cars are nice to drive with not too much understeer or oversteer. Practice was a good experience and I am sure it will only get better.”
Alvaro Parente: “It is great to be here after the good time I had winning ROC South Europe for Team Portugal with Filipe Albuquerque. I hope we can repeat what we did in Portugal but it will be difficult as these cars are very different to the single-seaters I am used to.”
Bertrand Baguette: “First of all I want to say thanks to all the Belgian fans who voted for me to be here in The Race of Champions and representing Team Benelux in the ROC Nations Cup. I am very proud and happy to be here driving against a lot of good drivers.”

Vettel: "It's not easy (for us) because the track is slippery, but it's great for the home crowd to have Michael and me here. It's been busy coming back from Abu Dhabi and obviously I have to answer a lot of questions. It's also a busy weekend here, I'm going to Berlin tomorrow to show the F1 car and then come back for the ROC Nations C...up."
Schumacher: "With Sebastian having one (world title) and me having those trophies, it's a perfect setup to make this a very special event and bring home the silverwear."
