after seeing some of the Free Practise I dont see Lewis or Button doing much in this , even less if the expected rain comes.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

and just to shut me up Lewes fastest in Q1

 

[TheBest]

Rain is going to make this interesting

 

[iSparky]

Lots of drivers moving onto the softs already.

 

[iSparky]

JB and Kobyashi staying in with most cars on softs, thats brave and if they manage to survive then it will be a great move for them.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

these 3 on Sky now are dreadful, Sky have to do something about the really poor quality of these 3

 

[pauldyson1uk]

massive clap of thunder then, rain on its way

 

[iSparky]

Jesus I fecking hate these 3 cnuts, thunder and lightning above though and the rain has begun.

thunder and lightning is more exciting than these 3 idiots

 

[RedSky]

Rain!!!

 

[SilentWitness]

Mclaren might go out if the rain stays.

 

[iSparky]

JB straight out on Inters.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Mclaren might go out if the rain stays.

they really struggled with the rain in FP

 

[gormless]

Red Flag in 5-4-3...

 

[iSparky]

They are all out there now, its going to be pandemonium. They reckon one fast lap and then it will be too wet.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Looks like it needs full wets now

 

[iSparky]

No grip out there at all, cars look like they are on ice.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Hamilton doing something in the wet better than FP, Shu doing well after nearly going out in Q1

 

[iSparky]

Must be time for Wets now.

 

[ArmchairCritic]

Where did Hamilton find 6 tenths when everyone else is struggling to find anything?

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Where did Hamilton find 6 tenths when everyone else is struggling to find anything?

He is an excellent wet race driver but even so he seems to have found something nobody else has

 

[iSparky]

These boys in the 1:38's should be safe into the next round really but I guess you never know.

 

[SilentWitness]

Or maybe the Mclarens will be just fine...crazy how unpredictable the season is. Struggle at Silverstone in the wet and in FP but fine in Quali.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

These boys in the 1:38's should be safe into the next round really but I guess you never know.

I would agree with that , the full wets are not going to be fast enough to make the time up.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

I am amazed that no car has gone off yet.

 

[gormless]

Wish they could have stayed with Hulkenberg for a lap there

 

[iSparky]

They are all running wide here now.

 

[mightberight]

I am amazed that no car has gone off yet.

That gravel's getting a bit of loving now

 

[SilentWitness]

Nice to see both Force Indias through. That radio message by Alonso must be tactical, purely wants to get conditions that suit him.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

have they red flagged it?

 

[iSparky]

have they red flagged it?

Nope, but the rain seems very persistent now, we could get a red flag in Q3

 

[TheBest]

Hamilton was really quick in q2.

 

[iSparky]

No hanging around from McLaren today, first two out again at the start of Q3

 

[pauldyson1uk]

wow there is lots of standing water

 

[pauldyson1uk]

what happened to the days when going in the gravel meant you was out of the race.

 

[iSparky]

Rain has stopped, so much standing water out there though.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

there is no chance of inters on this track IMHO

 

[pauldyson1uk]

This track is very close to undriveable

 

[iSparky]

They are all running wide at points on the track
