Does anyone know what happens if qualifying is washed out? I could find nothing in the regulations. I have an idea that the race would start in current WDC order, but I am not sure.

Perhaps rescheduled to Sunday morning like Suzuka a few years ago with the typhoon?

What do you think: Will they use a setup for rain or dry?

Rain is forecast between 1200 and 1400 and after 1500 tomorrow. It is going to be a tough one. If someone gambles and gets lucky, we could have a freak result.

I have already read speculations that they may delay qualifying until Sunday morning. Is that true?

Yes, it's true. What is the weather like in Monza at the moment?

Heavy rain.

600mm is forecast for Saturday.

600? Not 60?

O'boy I hope you added one zero to the figure 60, otherwise the whole town of monza will drown.

So no driving in the rain? Hope it goes on.

2 foot of rain, nice!!! they'll need water wings on the cars for this race.

Anybody has a link to a live feed ?
I'm not finding anything on justintv.
Thank you

Rain is OK, but if it's so much rain that it gets too unsafe, it should not go on.

lol, listen to the incredible bias of ITV.

And they claim "balance and perspective".

edit: interesting onboard: Lewis could easily have gone through the chicane. He blatantly chose not to.

LOL!

Finger trouble I think! LOL.

Sorry.

Have you listerned to your own bias's at the same time?

F1 has no business racing in the rain anymore... Right?

Anything more to add Rolf, they seem very balanced to me

yes, I take it back. They do seem to be now. Especially the drivers. Just goes to show how over the top the hysteria was on this board immediately after the race.

Correctly in my opinion, changing the rules after the event does not make a penalty. Anyway this thread is about qualifying not about Spa...

They have just said a big storm is hitting part of the circuit. This will be interesting.

Is it raining constantly from FP3?

Still raining hard!

Not sure, but it didnt look like it was raining when the program started, but I could see rain falling in the puddles a little while later.

Here we go.

600mm is forecast for Saturday
was there any clarifying whether there was a 0 to many

Who will be first to bin it?

To be honest, the conditions don't even look safe to drive in.

Can you imagine how bad it will be if there conditions like this under the floodlights in Singapore.

They need to sack everybody at ferrari. What a complete amateuresque festival.

this is an insane session

They get paid millions - for what? I say let them earn their money for once...

Kova not changing tyres. I reckon they are stockpiling his tyres for Hamilton. A bit like how Schumacher used to take Massa's and Barichello's tyres.

Stop talking crap, the drivers get a set allocation of tyres and cannot donate them to another driver.

Yeah lmfao

So, Alonso misses a chicane and by not stopping and turning around to rejoin at the same point or not screwing his tyres to make the corner regardless has enough time and rubber to get a laptime in that gets him outside the relegation zone.

Yeah, I thought he set his best time on a lap he cut the chicane - but hard to tell from the TV coverage. Wonder who's running wet setup and who's running a dry setup in expectation of a dry race tomorrow.

conditions definitely looking quite better now. Those early laps werer just bananas.

woooaaa look at the boy who signed an extra year at Ferrari!! P14!!

Btw to me it looks like it rains even more ;)

Oh, he'll get a 25-sec drive-thru penalty assessed after the race tomorrow...

where have Hamilton's balls gone? last place in Q2!

Kimi and Hammi 14 and 15. We will have a SUPER RACE tommorow. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW. The best news for us the fans....................

What chance a Toro Rosso on the front row for tomorrow?

Would have been better if Massa was down there as well.

I see Lewis, the new rainmeister, is slowest in P15. Apparently because he thought uhm, put on intermediates, wich turned out to be wrong. Bad day for hamilton & co. Thats not to say the man of 50 milion dollars a year did any better. even with a whole session fo full wets, p14.

Well done domenicalli, well done di montezemolo, kill my beloved ferrari!!

Is this because of a full dry setup?

what a turn of events!

I wonder if they're on something closer to dry settings than their team mates. Certainly there's an awkward compromise to be made between settings which will work in the wet and settings which will work in the dry. We should see plenty of overtaking tomorrow, at least.

Indeed. It could be most interesting. Particularly if it is slightly damp.

One would expect that the strategists involved will ensure that the optimum tactics for starting mid-grid would be employed, but given as these strategic geniuses thought it best not to send their drivers out on a banker lap when rain was pretty obviously going to fall, I don't hold out much hope.

Hamilton "I can adapt to every situation, that's one of my strengths" "Kimi has no balls" he still starts in front of him

WTF?

Raikkonen & Hamilton 14th and 15th; Kovalainen 2nd. Is HK running a full wet set-up and Hamilton so dry they left out both the Vermouth and the olive?
