    Just checked the Beeb, actually it looks like it'll be dry. So we can deduce that Vettel would be a terrible weather presenter.

    The summary says dry, the map says wet. Not even the BBC can decide. I hope for a dry quali and a mixed race

    Rain is expected between 13:00-13:30 (same as Thursday and Friday). Qualifying starts at 14:00 Monaco time so the track will be damp for sure. Dont think we have had a wet quali in Monaco for a very long time. These are only forcasts but the last few days have followed the same pattern.

    If it will be damp then Button will be affected the most, didn't he stay in the garage when others went out in the damp conditions? Could be wrong but he did very little running in both sessions.

    I think Monaco is the sort of place where pole has more to do with the driver than the team than most places. A good car obviously helps but surprises are more likely in all weather conditions here.

    Linkin Park get involved,

    well done for having a go at the top 5 prediction, I have no idea in these damp weather conditions; heavy traffic, sudden downpours, track drying out, yellow flags, red flags, inters, wets, slicks, just too many variable for me to handle. I have no idea, but might get an indication after p3...might.

    But he was good back then. I maintain the thing that killed Massa was germany 2010, not his injury.

    I think I wrote in the massa thread his recent Monaco form. He seems to be pretty good here. Which means if he doesnt perform then we know for cert he is a pile of steaming poop!


    Is it saturday yet? <looks around> Yes!
