Another Grand Prix this weekend.

I dont mind rain but not a monsoon like last year!

They're starting the race an hour earlier to try and avoid a repeat of last year.

I love this quote by Jenson Button after practise this morning; "I had a very twitchy rear end and I just can't deal with it". Hehe :D
 
Interesting grid tomorrow, watch hamilton tomorrow i reckon, F i hope it's wet tomorrow. I guess that is almost a guarantee.

Shummi is well not exactly lighting himself up in glory, damn in his younger days he had some epic rain races. Not sure the 40 year old can do it now. For mrsBBL i am talking before ferrari

Schumi was at his best before Ferrari IMO. I'm talking when he had to fight tooth and nail for a win, not when he had the best car and a wealthy team behind him.

I love this:
The teams were responding to a weather forecast that said the rain would stop a few minutes into the first 20-minute part of qualifying. Instead, the weather became progressively worse and their drivers' attempts to recover from the error were futile.
Heh... anyone trusing the FIA weather reports this year is taking a fat chance :D What with the lack of overtaking and all that, wet is all they have. Who else is glad Ferrari and Macca start from the back :)
Just a pity Webber will walk it likely except for the potential of the car to fail. They had to give the RB another chance rofl.
Hamilton vs Alonso and Button will be interesting. So will Rosberg vs Vettel and Webber. I think that Merc is better on the faster tracks.
ROFL @ the look on Vettel's face 'O donner!'

Oh please no - not a repeat of the end of Australia. Wet is the only hope we have of proper racing.

Also true. The top 3 will get away and stay far ahead in a race of their own. The faster cars at the back will be fighting for 4-10 places for points and will provide the entertainment.
 
I think there are going to be some gambles that will pay off and some that will fall flat tomorrow... hoping for Macca to get lucky again ;)

OT - Who else thought this action shot of Hamilton setting his quali time today was funny? :p

I doubt mark webber will beat vettel in the wet, he only got pole because of a good call. Vettel will crush him if it is wet tomorrow :D.

No, they will both be taken by Rosberg, then Vettel will take Webber out when he attempts to take p1 back from Rosberg in the dry. Webber will then finish 5th and Vettel will end up 10th :p
