Massive delay between the live timing and the BBC pictures is ruining this session for me.

http://www.formula1.com/live_timing/live_timing.html Fairly sure you have to be registered on the site to use it. It's about 5 seconds ahead of the BBC coverage today though.

Where The old mans house lands in the film "up" is based on a real place in Venezeula. My useless piece of trivia for the day.

Also, why still no rain in Singapore?

Mainly rains during the afternoon in Singapore due to the heat a bit like Malaysia. A lot less chance during the night.

Not the most exciting Q3 in the world but I don't get why they were badgering on about the teams having to be out on track for Q3 and it being a disappointment etc.
It's those pesky tyre rules which cause that. I would prefer to see them have as many as they want and race that way.

Can't see beyond a Vettel win tomorrow unless the weather does something interesting. The Mercs look terrible,rain may just be what they need to narrow the gap.

rua1972 · 24-09-2011 8:35pm

With Vettel on pole he will disappear in the distance once the red light go out. But behind him there will hopefully a nice race. Wonder what went wrong with Hamilton he was putting on his gloves with 1.50 min. to go. A miscalculation by the team? It saves him a set of tyres for the race, although the puncture cost him a set i understand from Brundle. Three cars staying in in Q3 it's time to give the teams in Q3 an extra set of tyres.

5 second lead after about 3 laps then turn the wick down. Should be a decent race behind though, good start for Button would make it very interesting though, I'd like to see him in contention from the start of a race, there's been a few times this year where he gained 20 or more seconds on the field in the last 2/3 of races so it'd be good if he could be in a position to use his late-race strength to push Vettel a bit. Remember Canada? :pac:

losthorizon · 24-09-2011 11:02pm

Bound to be a few safety cars though. Singapore is the type of place for them.

amacachi · 24-09-2011 11:49pm

Could give Button an even better chance so. Bit of rain would be some craic though, give it about 6 corners til Hamilton would take someone out. :pac:

bnt · 25-09-2011 12:37pm

Weather forecast for Singapore at start time (8PM local): 28°C, Thunderstorms; Heavy Rain: Likely.

(from Accuweather)

amacachi · 25-09-2011 12:40pm

BBC says the outlook is clear.

amacachi · 25-09-2011 1:01pm

Button 15/2, ridiculous price.

The Ferraris look like they have very high ground clearance. :S

Dravokivich · 25-09-2011 1:04pm

Another slow start by Webber...

amacachi · 25-09-2011 1:05pm

Schumi on Hamilton aagain.

amacachi · 25-09-2011 1:07pm

Seriously, how does Vettel do those first laps? 2.5 second lead and it's not like Button had pressure from behind to distract him. Unbelievable.

Hamilton behind Schumacher, there's no track for him to get run onto this weekend.

steve9859 · 25-09-2011 1:08pm

So Jensen has changed his traditional race strategy of having a crap start then passing everyone in the race. Wonder how the new plan will work out for him!!!

amacachi · 25-09-2011 1:09pm

Rosberg looks ok for skipping the corner, was driven off the track like.

Was it just me or did it look like there was still space up the inside if Hamilton wanted it? Would've have to put two wheels over the edge but still.

Busi_Girl08 · 25-09-2011 1:10pm

Did they find out what caused Hamilton's puncture yesterday?

And what's with all the sparks?!

amacachi · 25-09-2011 1:10pm

Nice move by Hamilton there, no grip on the dirt there at all!

jesus those mercs are awfull on corner exit

I'd love to see how they'd be going without the two drivers they have. They look worse than the Saubers and Force Indias.

The car is lower due to being fueled more heavily for the race.

Martin and David were making a point of it during the formation lap.
