    Malaysia always throws up a bit of rain, and it doesn't just drizzle there does it? :D

    It will rain every day and normally late afternoon early tea time. Lets hope they get a 2 hour window of reasonable weather or dry running!

    Thunderstorm evokes 2009. I do hope we don't have another abandoned race just because Bernie organised the calendar to suit his own whims.

    Lets hope for a full wet race, so the Ferrari have a good chance. Mass to win.

    If it rains, it will be Button vs Schumacher.

    Fixed. Button is the best on a drying track but that is a very specific set of circumstances. Hamilton is probably the better driver on a completely wet track.

    Fixed. Mclaren have the most downforce, if it is raining then it will probably be Hamilton or Button who wins.

    No cause for conflict but did you miss the Canadian GP?

    Whilst it was raining, Button-Schumacher-Massa and Kobayashi were right up there.

    And Mclaren have been a naturally good team in the wet over the past few years, if i havent got my races/teams muddled up. Then again it could be down to the drivers

    Mostly due to being out of sequence but I get your point. The problem is this year's Mercedes looks like it has gone too far in favour of straight-line speed.

    So? That was not the only wet race last season. And it is pretty irrelevant to this race.

    Without factoring in the track layout, is tyre deg higher on wet tyres in the rain or dry tyres in the dry?
