Paul, thoughts on McLaren this year?

 

[pauldyson1uk]

I have to take son to football in less than an hour , could miss the sharp end of Q3.

Paul, thoughts on McLaren this year?

From what I have seen they dont look good, I think Perez is a massive gamble for them.
Somebody already said this , the car looks to be better in the wet, but I think they still have a lot to do.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

this 107% rule , have the stewards stopped any teams form racing because of this.

 

[iSparky]

Another 20 minute delay for Q2.

HRTs last year.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Another 20 minute delay for Q2.

[pauldyson1uk]

HRTs last year.

[TheBest]

Further 20 minute delay

 

[Ubik]

Isn't it sort of...getting dark?

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Isn't it sort of...getting dark?

yes that is another problem.

 

[TheBest]

With the weather as it is, couldn't they have started a bit earlier?

dont think it would of mattered, it has been raining all day.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

FFS just get them out on full wets.

 

[Leg-End]

The FIA have really fecked this up, they delayed too long and now I would be surprised they even get out again if it rains hard again, it will be too dark.

Sunset at twenty to eight in Melbourne.

 

[iSparky]

Charlie says another heavy shower due sometime before sunset now too.

 

[Ubik]

And he's not particularly confident about starting at half past either. Brilliant.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

painted black lines are the reason there is no racing !!

 

[hp88]

Earliest start time is now 7:50

 

[Leg-End]

Another 20. Wankers.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

This was just posted on BBC, I thought they would do Q2 AND 3 ,Sunday.

If we don't get restarted, the grid would be based on the times from Q1. That would put Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg on the front row, alongside Romain Grosjean in the Lotus. Sergio Perez who be alongside Mark Webber on the second row, ahead of Felipe Massa, Sebastian Vettel, Jenson Button, Jean-Eric Vergne and Lewis Hamilton

 

[iSparky]

Another 20 minute delay, we wont get all this squeesed in. Due to start at ten to seven and sunset at around 7:40.

 

[Ubik]

Another 20 min delay. This is ridiculous, I'm going back to bed.

 

[Leg-End]

In recent years there have been some shocking wet decisions, but this one tops the lot, farcical stuff.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Earliest start time is now 7:50

means I will miss it, if it happens.

 

[iSparky]

Look at how dark it is out there now!

 

[iSparky]

Looks like Q2 may be about to get going. Drivers seem to be getting ready, engines being fired up.

 

[Leg-End]

Toto sounds so much like someone doing a semi decent Arnie impression.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

dont think there is any chance of a restart.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

FFS Sunday morning for Q2 AND Q3

 

[hp88]

Moved to Sunday morning

 

[iSparky]

Postponed.

 

[Leg-End]

Embarrassing show for F1 today, I won't be getting up for the inevitable repeat in Malaysia or Quali tomorrow.

 

[iSparky]

Im not getting up for quali tomorrow morning, just going to stick to watching the race, provided the fecking thing goes ahead.

 

[hp88]

Show starts at 11:45pm tonight, Q2 starts midnight.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Q2 and 3 is tonight at midnight, so watch that and then up for work, to get there in time for the race start.

 

[Leg-End]

Be dry anyway, we all know that means a Red Bull pole and you don't need to ask which one.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

major cock up by FIA, should of grown some balls and let them race.

 

[TheBest]

I think weather tomorrow will be a bit better.
