Hi All

Thought we could have a thread to discuss the race as it happens?

Safety Car start........should they delay the race for 1/2 hour instead?......Seems a dangerous place to be racing in the wet.....

Will all the cars survivie the safety car period?....

Should be an intersting race...

live.autosport.com

Why wait? Id love to see hammy drop to 22nd with his dry weather setup.

I loved how Massa nearly lost it on the lap to the grid.... That should be quite a race!

Hiya

I find that those live talk/box discussions move to fast for my old brain....lol......I end up watching them more than the race.....sometimes.......

Not today though.......

Whats wrong with live timing?

Safety car start - I hate that.

F1 drivers are pussy nowadays!

You sure?

My heart is pounding and I am 1000 Miles away sat on a comfy seat... Dry.....

Has Dead Timing got water in the works?

SPPED TV just said that Charlie Whiting has instructed the drivers that there is a "one corner" rule after cutting a chicane... Must give up the position, then wait one corner before racing again.

I see hammy has been cutting chicanes again

Where's Hamilton with his balls? He's nowhere near with his pace.

So far all drivers doing fantastic job. The conditions are truly horrible; if you think TV cams make it look like visibility is poor, in real life it´s twice as bad.

Why it's taking so long for Kimi to pass Fisico?! DC managed to do it in 4 laps.

Vettel is flying!

Hear Hear.....agree 100%

Hamilton's move on Fisichella is perfect example of his boorish driving. Another one against Glock! You can't do that!

What are you talking about?

Ham just have showed Kimi how it should be done. Only only lap later he's ahead of Fisico as well.

And one more time with Kimi himself

And MASSA "cuts" the chicane to pass Rosberg!

Dominicelli already went on record saying their car simply doesn´t work too well on wet.

I think drying conditions are Kimi´s chance; save the tyres, attack later.

Great racing by Hamiton, Räikkönen and Fisichella

what the fuuuck penalty, massa, why didnt rosberg force massa off that would do the job

domeni should say their car cant generate heat in cold temps

It looked like Massa only had 2 wheels on kerbs. No cutting?

I _do_ believe we need physical penalty for using the run-off areas.

(no, I don´t mean ze punishment...more like abrasive tarmac, more bumps, etc.

I was "half-kidding"... looks like Rosberg ahead again?

Again the same thing against Glock.

hamilton nothing to add

Raik needs to be fired, slow, unreactive....

Hamilton for a drive through then................................ He's overtaking people!

MORE rain in 5 min - for a long time

Sounds like Vettel has traction control at times?.....weird......

I Hamilton keeps that up, he'll get some kind of penalty - or a big accident

uhm, was that a certain hammy cutting track on alonso?

Hamilton for the win!

wuhu massa in trafic

Illegal! Foul! Penalty!

Fire Raikonnen! Massa doing well despite traffic...

Lewis leading race in the next few laps and 1 stopping?

Not that I'm wishing this on him, but surely Bourdais should be dsq for having received a push from his crew during the race, since they had omitted the formation lap and the race was technically underway at that point?

Did you come here to enjoy a great race or repeat "fire Räikkönen" over and over again?

What tyres do you fit now?!

I don't think it was "during the race" (?)

I´d say defitenitely the full wets.

I'm actually his fan last season, unfortunately, this season he drives like a mediocore driver, and not up to the task at all.

I'm not sure how the rules define it, to be honest, but certainly that lap was the first lap of the race according to the FOM lap counter, and the formation lap was omitted.

Not sure either. I guess they could argue they were pushing the car out of "harm's way".

Whatever Ecclestone thought, at least one driver wasn't listening thank goodness.

Just popped in to say GREAT RACE... go Vettel

Hamilton is doing really well too.

No real rain yet - none of these F1 "forecasters" need apply at the Weather Channel...
