The F1 Thread 2010 Season

0556:NEWS UPDATE: Qualifying delayed by 30 minutes. There will be another update at 0620 BST.

Of course the opportunity to qualify on Sunday remains, so don't think the start position based on car number is that likely.

EDIT: maybe not....

McLaren's Lewis Hamilton: "It's so slippery out there - so many rivers. When it aquaplanes, the car just lifts for a few seconds and right now it doesn't look like there's going to be any qualifying. The crash yesterday did not help me. You need as many laps as you can get here and I have done about 15 laps this weekend but we have been driving all year so we should be OK."

looking at the Merc going round the track now , there is no chance ,lots of standing water and it looks dark.
Qualifying and the race in one day is going to be hard.
 
watching the build up to the qualifying ,the teams have the cars set up for a dry race , but looking at the BBC F1 site , they are saying heavy rain showers during race time.
Looks like Sunday will also have problems with heavy rain , should make for a very interesting day.
 
Confirmed postponed until tomorrow. That means a seriously early wake up call to watch it!

Cry me a river :D You lads finally get a taste of what its like to have to get up to watch United or stay up to watch the F1 and even then, its not even a work day in the morning.

I'd suggest not even bothering to go to sleep. Bathurst is streaming on Justin tv and Veetle so just watch that. Starts at 11:30pm GMT
Best touring car race in the world.

You better not be a Holden man...:mad:
 
Come on Alonso :D
Take the title. Hopefully Hamilton suffers again with his penalty. Qualifying before the race tomorrow. Should be fun.

How can anyone want Alonso to win? He's a spoilt, moaning prick. I hope he shows himself up as the classless driver yet again this weekend. Just to affirm this point :)

He is fast though, i'll grant him that.
 
out of interest who is commited/crazy to get up at 2am for this? i will be up myself but cant decide if i should stay up until 2 or get some sleep and set the alarm for 2
 
We're out for a meal tonight and when we get back the missus will almost certainly want to watch the recorded xfactor and then shortly after go to bed so I'll probably play on the playstation for a few hours then watch quali, go to bed for a few hours then up at 6 for race coverage.
 
think i will arse around on the playstation for a few hours and then watch quali, feck going to sleep before it
 
Ill watch quali & then hit the sack for a few hours before waking up just before 7am
 
right i changed my mind and set the alarm for 1:45 this better be worth it

come on jenson!!!
 
ooohhh lads who is the bird presenting? i want to have sex with her

yeah this could easily be a red bull weekend, feck:(
 
Dry, Red Bull, not exactly what we wanted (unless your a Red Bull fan).
 
track still pretty damp, green track of course all the rubber washed away
 
Look at the flex on the front wing of the Red Bull, probably the most I have seen it flex this season.
 
soft tyre not effective at the moment on the track
