Times aren't really improving. Mclaren really messed this up.

Can you get BBC iPlayer where you are? (I can't see locations on my phone without checking your profile) They're broadcasting live this weekend.
 
Mercedes both 1.7 up on 3rd, raining and getting heavier. Think that's it sorted already if the rain gets heavier and heavier for Q1.
 
He hit the braking board it seems. Grosjean through to Q2!
 
Go to the loo and miss a crash :grumpy:
 
Mercedes still 1 second faster than everyone else not named Vettel, who is nearly 1.4 above his teammate in the wet.

Vettel could probably take one of the backmarker cars to the top of the grid in the rain.
 
Oh dear. Sorry Mr Fernandes. At least you got your car on camera for a longer amount of time than it would have otherwise. Silver lining and all that!

That Torro Rosso was a lot better than any of today's backmarkers though. Mid pack would be the best he could do in, say, a Marrusia.

Well, the safety car is not as effective as an F1 car at clearing water. As far as I can see, they could start Quali right now and as long as drivers are careful around T4 and T12, there is no real issue. This is another case of H&S going too far. Yes, I think the half hour delay is justified but now that the rain is easing off, the drainage and heat is clearing the rain suitably!

The problem is the ground clearance of the F1. Once a layer of water fills the gap between the floor and the road, the driver is a passenger. If the F1 had the ground clearance of the SLS, then the downforce/water clearing ability of the F1 car would make super-wet running more possible.
 
Broken track rod for Alonso it seems. Not sure what the red flag is for though.
 
Why Red flag?

However, the increased ride height from the wets should compensate... apart from turn 4 I believe

Not with the aerodynamics pushing the car back down, I think.
 
I'm willing to bet the red flag has to do with more rain than anything.
 
how the hell is that kvyats fault.
Overtaking cars on the inside is the overtaking drivers fault now?
 
Debris, I'd imagine - there's a bit of Toro Rosso front wing left on track.

Edit: sequoia'd.
