    Looking at the pictures is seems unlikely that the helicopter could take off? Are FIA breaking their safety rules again?
    Think it might just be some camera angles.

    Rosberg got a bit swamped there with the STR, going to be hard work to find a gap in this traffic and spray.

    Conditions look really bad. As I say that, Sainz Junior out.

    Good - i can't bear all this high tec stuff, spoils the excitement of human error, sport is meant to be risky, that's the adrenaline rush of it.

    McNish is getting worse. Sainz aquaplaned off, no he didn't he went on the painted kerbs.

    Hamilton would be happy not to restart, Ferrari less happy if no restart.

    They are sitting there a long time, I wonder if this will damage engines?

    looks like the track is about 1s faster at the moment, and will only get faster as they rotate. Unless this rain picks up.

    Was a reasonable hit, I fear he will have done something there.
