    As he qualified 6th he has to use the tyres from Q2 unfortunately. He really needed to have been 3rd to 5th today but oh well.

    End of the GP2 was interesting. Some light rain to make things difficult but not wet. Someone made a pretty big mistake in front of me. Hard to tell what this weather's doing for the F1

    Accuweather suggests that the shower hits be circuit at 3pm- so we may have a dry race.

    Those black clouds in the background on the tv look like they could spice things up.

    Are we taking bets on how long before the safety car comes in? My guess lap 9.

    Cars seem to be going way too slow. Wonder if that is going to give anyone engine temp issues?
