Yup, everything I've seen both in terms of radars plus what various weather people are saying right now is that more rain is going to hit (heavier and more prolonged than earlier too).

Qualifying will probably not be run if it's anything more than intermediate conditions, that seems to be what happens these days it seems.

Dead for me. I am watching Sky Go.
Is it dead on the normal tele too, or just with Sky Go?

Indeed, sky channel is also dead as a dead dodo right now... The music sucks too. It sounds like the type of music you get on a gran turismo game menu... Inoffensive musac.

Sounds like all broadcasters were affected, not just Sky. Seems like they had a massive thunderstorm.

Locally in Melbourne Ten/One HD was fine - although they did refer to some 'electrical issues' at one point...

Hopefully Sky didn't have too many elaborate features in their warm-up show
