    That wasn't too long though if I remember 45 mins or so, I was more thinking it couldn't be a Canada 2011 :pac:

    I don't think anyone wants a Canada. :P Might've been China either, I can't remember for sure. I remember it was delayed a couple of times though. I ended up missing the start of the race drifting in and out of sleep. :P


    Ugh, Perez slides off on his out-lap. Gonna be starting behind the Safety Car for sure now.:mad:

    Already a semi-dry line just from the out-laps. Let them race without the SC!

    Yes but I think they'll let them off as it was Fernando's fault

    That's the rule, didn't Vettel get into trouble or get warning at some point for leaving too much of a gap

    Hate to see cars out of the race for something like this, but it is a retirement within first five laps :pac:

    Hamilton I was actually talking about.


    What's the odds a few people come straight in for Inters, some spin off and Charlie ****s himself and puts the Safety Car straight back out?

    Sounds like some teams are thinking of following the SC in to change to inters right away

    Here we go. BBC website suggests they may get to 40 laps before conditions get too bad, meaning full points.

    I've only been up for 10 minutes - thought I'd missed the start. :P

    Doesn't look ready for Inters I wouldn't have thought. Then again Jenson probably just needed tyres with some heat in them. :P

    Ricciardo said No to Inters. Coulthard (on BBC) made a similar point about heat, too - says that without heat, they're like Slicks.

    Good moves from both drivers to get past Massa - demonstrations of how to pass and be passed without collecting each other. :cool:

    Hamilton will win all the remaining races if his car holds up. He just has the beating of Rosberg each time you feel.

    Vettel not driving away from Bottas as quick as I thought he would, should be some fun between the Red Bulls soon.

    If it doesn't rain before the end will we see slicks? :P

    Front right wear problem, so they'll need to pit at some stage if the weather stays in the same condition

    It's a bit risky, with how quickly the track is drying there could be more wear as the race goes on and pitting early might make an extra stop necessary.

    Hamilton has so much more pace, Rosberg should really be popping into the pits.
