2014 Petronas Malaysia Grand Prix

[MatheusBond]

FP3's about to start.

 

[TenEightyOne]

Watching Kyvyfvyfvyat on the power out of the corners, very smooth, even with the back starting to drift out he just keeps building the speed, squeezing the car through the corner.

That would have looked normal last year but there are some better drivers struggling to have such a clean balance right now. Impressive!

 

[MatheusBond]

Kimi just roasted the tyres on his fast lap, again...

 

[P1K3Y_M1k3Y]

Grosjean going off, never mind, just amazed a Lotus is still running at the end of a session

 

[Samus]

So Mercedes have a second on the others in the dry, if the others weren't sandbagging. That's worrying for the neutrals like me. Single team dominance isn't good, no matter who it is for me.

 

[Dodzzz]

I'm fine with Mercedes dominating, especially if it's Nico who is dominating this year.. this guy deserves it way more than Vettel

Well personally I'd rather have good racing between drivers, but to each his own.

 

[P1K3Y_M1k3Y]

I like to see a good race and I think we will get one, Merc might be a second up in quali, but that don't always mean it will translate to race pace.

But as a Lewis fan I don't mind seeing Merc ahead

 

[Ninners]

The others went slower than yesterday which was odd while Merc got faster.

 

[m8h3r]

How long till qualifying?

 

[Barra333]

50min. BBC is already on. Raining right now too.

 

[P1K3Y_M1k3Y]

Proper raining

EDIT: Ummm, forget the F1 car's, need the speedboats

So Mercedes are now RedBull until RBR, Ferrari and Mclaren get their act together.

They have an advantage (or did in FP3) but I don't think you can liken them to RBR just yet.

 

[Ninners]

This is quite wet now.

 

[m8h3r]

Raining heavy! Awkward moment when the rain on umbrella's is louder than the cars.....

So far atleast.

 

[Samus]

Looks likely to delayed for standing water.

Rosberg took things VERY easy in Melboure, which was worrying, They seem far ahead in both single lap and race pace, if anything moreso than RB had.

 

[P1K3Y_M1k3Y]

hurray no more fines for drivers doing Doughnuts

 

[Ninners]

Merc tweeted it was a light shower. Doesn't look like it.

Also @P1K3Y_M1k3Y remember to take a nap later, don't wanna be tired for the race tonight.

 

[mattythedog]

Rain always makes things way more exciting.

 

[Samus]

Yeah this isn't happening, monsoon conditions now. Expect a 30 min delay at the least.

Well to an extent too much rain and it all gets delayed and incredibly boring!

 

[P1K3Y_M1k3Y]

Need to build car's that can drive in the wet, although to be fair to them with this, the only useful thing now is a boat

Even a road car on road tyres would aquaplane in monsoon conditions.

That's why I added the bit on the end

 

[Ninners]

Wow.

 

[Samus]

15min delay announced but that is going to keep getting extended until the rain eases down.

 

[Ninners]

This sucks. I regret getting up early now.

I didn't sleep WEC will be fun tonight
