Checo with a big shunt. Going out with a bang I see.
The F1 Thread 2013 Season
- Thread starter nemanja15
- Start date
Bucketing down now. Will be full wets for Q3.
Q3 should be interesting, or maybe even red flagged if the rain is that bad
Q3 delayed, thought it might.
Q3 delayed for 10 minutes due to rain.
Doesn't look like this is going to let up any time soon. Lions heavier in fact.
I can see this being more than a 10 minute delay.
JB there pretty much summing up how bad McLaren have been this season, "only one more day of pain to go and then we can finally look toward next season"
He looked pretty fecked off during that interview too.

This is BS. Let them qualify in the conditions at hand. Why delay it?
Its the same with the races, more and more these days they pull out a safety car when it isn't required.

There's standing water on the circuit, which the cars simply cannot drive through.
They can't drive through all the standing water on the track. One the car aqua planes they are only a passenger. It's way too dangerous.
another 10 mins before Q3, the rain looks very heavy and driving a normal car in heavy rain is bad enough, so driving an F1 car must be near impossible, but its not just the track its the weather conditions also stopping the medical helicopter taking off, they wont do anything without that in the air.
I hate driving on standing water at 70 mph on the motorway. I know they are professional racing drivers, but it's pointless to even attempt it with that amount of water at high speeds.
Any other track I'd say get out there, we never see full wet running anymore but Brazil is a nasty track for spitting people off in the wet with standing water. Easier to wait.
Brazil is almost the exception, if we were at another circuit I would be moaning but the FIA are making the right calls, Brazil in the wet with all the standing water is lethal. The visibility looks bad in some of the shots too.
Perez on leaving McLaren - "Hopefully I am sitting here next year telling you leaving McLaren was the best thing that ever happened to me"
Ouch Sergio, no need to be bitter about it
Looks like another delay too.

I think Perez is a decent driver, he just made the jump to one of the big teams too soon, he has to prove himself again next season, and show the team he drives for that he is a good driver.
I want Kamui to come back to F1. Miss watching him race.
It's as much on McLaren as it is Perez, they shat their pants as soon as Hamilton signed for Mercedes and grabbed the nearest cheap decent driver, even if he wasn't ready.
Another 10 minute delay.
I agree, it was a shock when he signed.
He was just not ready for the drive, there is a chance he wont get a seat next season now, I hope he does.
on BBC2 now , what are they going to do if it still has not started when the Rugby match is due to start?
Red Button I would imagine.
I imagine they will cut the rugby build up and then if it is not finished by 6 one of them will be pushed to the red button.
Looks dry! Go go go!
Q3 due to start at 17:30, hope it is a decent one.
Both Red Bull sat waiting for the green light, that's a first
looks like inters will be on soon.
Rain expect at the end of Q3.
fast lap in these conditions.
Finger waving prick.
pretty boring Q3 after all that, Vettel with pole again.
Hamilton really is quite dissapointing in the wet with Mercedes, then again he drove the ironing board McLaren for so many years.
Predicatable pole, if its dry tomorrow no need to tune in.

League of his own.
League with two drivers in it, he happens to be competing directly against a mid-table contendor.
What's the weather forecast for the main race??
Rain is forecast but not like today.
Just watching the pre-race talking, just been on Vettel. They just played a clip of him doing those doughnuts, and one of his engineers telling him "that just cost us $145,000 !!!" That's fricking ridiculous if so.
