But I think it says it all, and already yesterday, journalists talked about huge chances of rain in Sepang.
We will have to wait to get data on showers.

Surely due to the humidity, they can bubble up out of nowhere?
Let's all be honest here. We know how this will end. Hours and hours of watching cars stationary, under tarpaulins until it gets too dark to race.
It's a nonsense.

One thing is sure,i will not wake up or stay awake if rain comes.Surely due to the humidity, they can bubble up out of nowhere?

Looking at the graphs, what time is the Malaysian Grand Prix?
If it does rain, the heat will dry up the track like it did last year.

So how many mms of rain equals a red flag now?

The last few GPs there have been affected by rain at some point in the weekend, I don't expect that to change at all.

So much excitement over wet weather. Yet in reality there is mostly no action on track when it rains. I don't understand this. I don't want rain, certainly not on Friday, because we may end up with curtailed race.

Well they had the usual downpour at round about the time the cars would've been heading out on track if what I read is right, and looking at some pics of the rain, it would've definitely been Safety Car conditions and more than likely a red flag situation. When will Bernie learn? Ok, there's a risk of storms with a 1pm start time (just look at 2001) but at least that gives them a chance to restart rather than finding themselves saying "the light isn't good enough, we can't restart" as is the risk with a 4pm start time (better than 5pm as it was for a year or 2). I'd be more than happy being up watching the race at about 5am rather than say 8am, so I'd say "screw the 'it's better for Europan fans' excuse as 8am might be, but not if they're greeted with an abandoned race.
Oh and just remember, even if the risk of rain is 100%, as proven by a practice session a couple of years ago I think it was, the rain can slide a mile or 2 to the south of the circuit and therefore completely miss the track.

Would you prefer these 5am/6am starts that Sepang/Melbourne have or a 12am Sat night start?

Anything that helps avoid needless red flag situations is fine with me. I was up for a 6am race start in Melbourne and would be happy with the same for Sepang.
Posted 21 March 2013 - 22:44
We still would if they let them race.I can remember some years when F1 fans would have danced naked around their houses even for a small drop of water during the quali or race.

Rain??? Where????
*starts waving red flag*
