HEAVY RAIN FORECAST!!!!

40%-70% chance of rain during the race time slot!

I can't wait. If it rains i suspect the Red Bulls will be unstoppable... going on Sepang form... t-3 hours

It's been p**sing it down for 3 days here - we're about 700km from Shanghai, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's raining there too.

I hope the race isn't as processional as the Super V8's in the Tron is proving to be....they're just going round n round n round n wiping off wing mirrors n going round n round n wiping of wing mirrors n shunting the concrete walls n going round n round n round n round n no one having a punch up....*sigh*

I think so, looking at it now.

I think I saw a shot of his car and it had a label on it, think it was "Katy's dirty sister" - maybe that was something else though (or perhaps just my dirty mind).

[HandyNZL 1]

hah...katy's dirty sister...plus 5 points for you

[aussief1 4]

Timo and Robert starting from the pits - wise choice.

Yeah I agree now it probably is a little too wet.

[ecapdeville 0]

Another wet race for Vettel... a copy of Monza maybe?

[HandyNZL 1]

phenomenal performance thus far being put in by the safety car....

[HandyNZL 1]

Yup, Maylander is really lighting it up. Impressive.

Okay, enough safety car crap, is time they brought the thing in, no?

[Quiet One 15]

Massa trying to pick the perfect spots to spin.

[Rainmaster 7]

Come on FIA/Whiting, make a decision, or do we have to go to the International Court to decide?
