Wet so there goes testing the 2014 tyres.

[SamH123]

Hope we get a decent amount of running

[Zava]

damn, that loud and high pitched sound when they enter the pitlane is driving me nuts.

[Lights]

Great, another one of those wet practice dry race -weekends. Opposite please.

No cool livery for Webbo? Bit **** that.

[Lights]

Such a missed opportunity that Gonzalez's first name doesn't start with an s.

[DanardiF1]

Typical F1... a dry FP and no-one goes out for the first 30 minutes, but here when it's wet they're all out.

[DanardiF1]

Is Gonzalez the worst driver we've seen in an F1 car for a few seasons? I can't think of anyone who has been consistently seconds behind the race driver in all conditions.

[SamH123]

Rosberg continuing his wet track form from Spa it seems

[DanardiF1]

Red Bull really are desperate to get some flow info from the new slicks!

[vista]

Is Red Bull the only team to use those test devices? I guess that's why they are the best...

[medeni73]

They're already on 2014 schedule testing...

[fatd]

Are the 2014 tyres only for FP1?

Kvyat keeps impressing.

Great analysis by Ted Kravitz on Ricciardo's bottom.

I still love this track. <3

Is that more than other cars?

[Lights]

JEV had a problem in his car miraculously being the exact difference between Kvyat and himself.

No idea, its a just an information.

 

Max G Force depends mainly on tire grip.

Carbon disc brakes can provide much higher stop power.

See the jet airplanes landing.

From the Autosport live page:

38 min: Rosberg's engineer tells him: "Ross (Brawn) says you're the only one dumb enough to be out there at the moment."

Not much else exciting going on. TV showing Domenicali chatting with a rather fed up looking Alonso in the garage.

yeah, JEV's been nowhere for a while... he seemed to lose confidence when RIC got the RB seat

Rosberg is consistently impressive in the wet. He's unlucky there hasn't been a wet race so far because I think he'd be very likely to win it.

[DS27]

Yes, he has been impressive. Makes me wonder what a former team-mate who handed him his arse in the wet would be doing.

[bourbon]

Kvyat keeps impressing. 

 

It was probably overstated in the conditions and with problems with JEV's car, but he appears to be a little whip.  We'll see. 

[Fastcake]

I'm waiting to see Kvyet in a race before making any judgement.

[JHSingo]

I'm waiting to see Kvyet in a race before making any judgement.

 

...and spelling his name correctly, apparently.

Today really shame for drivers and fans. Few actions happens in Interlagos.

Probably will be dry in the race but what if it really does rain in all sessions? 

[George Costanza]

Yes, he has been impressive. Makes me wonder what a former team-mate who handed him his arse in the wet would be doing.

 

I am sure Michael Schumacher would be 0.5 or 1 second faster than anyone else...

The whole thing with cost cutting is ridiculous when it comes to wet and inters. If we were to use our common sense in F1 then we wouldn't waste money transporting them to places such as Bahrain and instead use the money that has been saved taking extra sets to places such as Brazil.

[Jimisgod]

Bending over and letting Vettel past with the absolute least attempt at fighting?

[V3TT3L]

Please, no Curva do Sol Junkyard anymore.

[DanardiF1]

Lewis is running a proper wet setup by the looks of it, so Mercedes are pretty convinced that the weather is staying like this for Qually and the race.

 

EDIT: looks like most cars are now. Very high ride heights and presumably softer dampers and springs.

Edited by DanardiF1, 23 November 2013 - 13:14.

[DanardiF1]

Because we've had all sessions under wet conditions, I'm hoping the race won't start under safety car because all cars should be setup for the conditions and thus a wet start is warranted.

[SealTheDiffuser]

Because we've had all sessions under wet conditions, I'm hoping the race won't start under safety car because all cars should be setup for the conditions and thus a wet start is warranted.

 

I fear more the possibility that they red flag Qualy and will have to do it in the dry tomorrow..

[OO7]

Wet starts don't exist anymore, damp starts on the other hand.............

[kimister]

I want some action  now , otherwise these practice sessions is becoming useless really 

[Szoelloe]

I fear more the possibility that they red flag Qualy and will have to do it in the dry tomorrow..

Now that would be a shame and a farce.

[TomNokoe]

Guaranteed the weather is better than FPs but it'll be red flagged. Can't get much worse than this. Bloody sodden

[Disgrace]

If there's a hint of a dry Q3/race, I can see many cars being set up for the dry. If the conditions get a bit damp, they can just lobby Charlie to use the red flag/safety car/delayed start.

[kosmos]

No need to practice for Ferrari, lol.

[DanardiF1]

Hulk is on inters now, so qualifying should go ahead no problem if the weather remains the same. There's absolutely no reason to delay it, cars are driving round at a decent speed on the intermediate tyre.
