Cheers broseph. Depending on how heavy the rain is, will make qualifying VERY interesting.

Shame we don't get it live here in AU :/

Horner saying rain predicted for qualifying hour and that his team will be going out on a dry setup in anticipation of a dry race tomorrow.

Horner saying rain predicted for qualifying hour and that his team will be going out on a dry setup in anticipation of a dry race tomorrow.

Which means it'll rain tomorrow, hard.

Apparently some of the cars are now on Inters, and Schumacher is really pushing hard, and nearly throwing the car off the track. Still not faster than Di Resta though.

 

[DrM]

Red Bull and Mclaren will go with dry setup

Red Bull and Mclaren will go with dry setup

going for a wet setup doesn't make sense for any of the frontrunners imo

 

[brotkasten]

I will have to watch stream today, our broadcaster will rather broadcast athletic world championship.

Who's your broadcaster?

 

[DrM]

Who's your broadcaster?

RTV Slovenia, our national tv. But they will stream it on their website.

 

[marvelharvey]

What are the rules if they red flag entire qually? Are they gonna use best times from practice sessions [aka Mercedes on the front row]?

The cars would be lined up in numerical order... so another pole for Vettel.

Can't they do quali before the race like Suzuka last year? Also does anyone know if the BBC will stream the weekend in HD on their website again?

would be more likely than a numerical lineup ;P

 

[Sleeplessnights]

Mark just read that on his phone while lurking on the forum...

That just made my afternoon

 

[Dilly]

Weather has been shit in Belgium for some weeks now, wouldn't surprise me if it rains.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Alright Ladies and Gents,

I uploaded FP1 & FP2 from the BBC and an interesting Inside Motors show on Spa & others.

Enjoy! Let me know how you guys fair.

I like you.

 

[Dilly]

Also, I doubt that Kubica lost his thumb. Since it's still visible on the pics from a few months ago.

 

[Shaneus]

Hey, I do what I can!

 

[S. L.]

Also, I doubt that Kubica lost his thumb. Since it's still visible on the pics from a few months ago.

maybe he can't use it/it's paralyzed ?

 

[Dilly]

Yeah, but then again you'd expect the news would be on more websites.

 

[Ark]

maybe he can't use it/it's paralyzed ?

I'm pretty sure the doctors said he had control of his thumb not long after the accident.

EDIT: YEAH! Doctor Who is back again tonight!

 

[Omiee]

Finally, it starts

 

[S. L.]

i have no idea who will take pole

 

[Omiee]

i have no idea who will take pole

i think this will be the first time this year, red bull wont take pole

 

[S. L.]

i could imagine one of the Mercs going for a wet setup gamble

 

[Stop It]

i think this will be the first time this year, red bull wont take pole

I still wont bet against it. Would be fun to see a STR or Force India competing up there in Q3 though.

 

[Gareth Bale]

How do I get the HD steam on the BBC Sport website again?

 

[Omiee]

I hope it stays dry

 

[Dilly]

JEROOOOMEEE!

 

[Omiee]

oke so we are going to have rain, fuck!!.
but should make things interesting.

 

[Dilly]

Jerome on pole, believe!

-edit-

Haha, Williams Epic Failure.

Best EJ quote of the weekend so far. Well, that and the suntan comparisons between Horner and Whitmarsh.

Rain predicted for the start of Q1, interesting stuff approaching!

 

[Dilly]

The manlove is high in this one.

 

[Stop It]

The manlove is high in this one.

Indeed. Joking aside though I think the level of respect between Whitmarsh, Horner and Domenicali is really good and is great for the sport. Yes F1 is about cut throat development and racing, but at the end of the day these guys are also ambassadors for the sport and need to act accordingly.

 

[brotkasten]

Looks to me like he's fixing his hair.

Whatever he does, it's probably the best he can do in a Mercedes.

 

[Dilly]

It's heaven :'D.

-edit-

It's schumacher :')

 

[Omiee]

fuck shumi, that sucks

 

[Frawdder]

Schumacher!

What on earth!

 

[Gareth Bale]

lolmacher. Really wanted him to do well here. Shame.

 

[Stop It]

Well, that's Schumacher out. His wheel came off and he fell straight off the track.

 

[DieH@rd]

His wheel came off. DAMNIT.

 

[Edmond Dantès]

The curse of the Schumi helmets strikes again. I called it.

 

[Omiee]

i hope it rains tomorrow and shumi goes on a overtaking run.

 

[Diablohead]

wtf i leave the room for 1 minute and schumi is out of his car already? lol

 

[Omiee]

yeah if this is what we can expect from tomorrow, i think its going to be mclaren with the advantage.

 

[Diablohead]

rain in 3 laps!

 

[Omiee]

This is going to be interesting.

 

[Edmond Dantès]

More rain on the way.

 

[Sleeplessnights]

Schumi to win the race for the back of the grid! Believe.

 

[Stop It]

Schumi to win the race for the back of the grid! Believe.

This season has shown it can happen, but the Mercedes race pace has been abysmal 90% of the time this year so I wont hold my breath.

Anyway, more rain soon? Interesting.

 

[Omiee]

the track is getting a little dry.

those clouds!

 

[Dilly]

Senna is doing quite good, really did not expect that.

 

[InertiaXr]

How does the 107% rule work? Do you have to set a time within 107% of whoever is 1st in this 1st qualifiying session to start the race tomorrow? So it's purpose is to keep really really slow cars off the track?

 

[Stop It]

Well then, Button consistently fast on a drying track, the shock!

The McLarens appear to love these changeable conditions, if the race is anything like this they will be very happy indeed.
