Very, very interesting. More excited for this race than any other race this season!
 
Webber is terrified now with the tyre dilemma.:lol: I think slicks would be the best, and just hope that Brooklands has dried up.
 
Is there any _LEGAL_ stream for people outside of the UK? I guess BBC won't work for me due to my French IP. :p
 
What are your views on this diffuser issue?

EDIT: Also, should the drivers start with slick tires or intermediate tires?

They started the season with them, all the leading teams has a variation of the system, should have just let them get on with it. The rules are changed in 2012, its a very messy situation, the FIA havent come out of this very well at all.
 
Bernie telling Prince Harry he can't be here without a pass :lol:

and Patrick Stewart 👍

Looks like its going to be an exciting race seeing as right now half the tracks soaking and the other half is dry.

One thing I'm curious about is why is the pit lane sunken? It means the grandstands can't see any pitting action which is kind of the point of those seats!
 
You mean the off-throttle issue?
For me, it sholdn't be banned no matter what.
2 years ago, Brawn, Toyota and William got their double diffuser invention. Only to be banned from 2011.
Last year, Mclaren got their F-duct and get banned this season.
This year, Renault gang have their off-throttle invention and it was banned half-season!

Surely, i smell something fishy around here.
 
Do you think they should start on slicks or intermediates?

EDIT: I think it shouldn't be banned as well.

EDIT 2: They're starting on intermediates!!!
 
Hmm warm up lap, very wet, will the cars come into the pits at the end of the warm up lap like in GP3?
Nevermind, I thought they were on slicks *facepalm*
 
Vettel get out of the lead.:ouch:

Edit: Looks like Webber is closing Vettel, pulling away from Alonso.
 
Hardly. He got off line behind Massa and the combination of low downforce (slipstream) and wet track punted him off.

Nice to see Lewis getting his head down and racing. All the whiny sound bites from him over the past week have been tiring. He may not be the most sparkling personality, but boy can he race.

Nobody would gamble on dry tires in these conditions. The track was half-wet at the start. They'll probably save the hard tires till the end, thanks to those cold conditions, too.
 
Handy work by Di Resta on Button's tail. RBR is flying though.

Looks like we'll be treated to another finger and 'good jop boys' again :indiff:
