No warning lights for drivers in regards to yellow/blue flag indicators.

Very windy too.
Radar looks like the rain will be patchy and annoying.[/URL]

So it will be typical Australian weather.

Rain, no rain, then rain again then a few minutes of 35*°C heat.

Fixed.

It's a list of livestreams, yes. You'll want to look under the "Live Streaming websites (updated and tested regularly)" section.

If it rains for quali it may give it to Merc since their car has better mechanical grip :).

Also because during testing the story seemed to show them as the fastest rain car at the hand of Hamilton, which doesn't make it 100% but I think rain conditions are harder to fool people on during testing.

Also do you have any more pics like the RB9 without body panels on it, I love seeing an f1 car to the bare bones.

Guess I will miss Quali and probably the race

It's wet. This will be interesting. :trouble:

Glad the coverage is up again, obviously problems with the weather and getting the pictures back to the UK.
 
Problems with sending anything 40,000 miles away
 
Q1 has been delayed for 10 minutes, some of the puddles are turning into ponds. :lol:

Is anyone here at the circuit just now?
 
Ponds?

You Brits get non stop rain 365 days, thought you would know what a pond is.
 
That's not rain. it's just a light dusting of moisture.
 
I calls it a sprinkle.

Bloody FIA wants to turn racing into a nanny sport.

OMG a small puddle lets sweep it away.
 
I may have been slightly exaggerating the condition of the standing water on the track, Grayfox. :sly:

Further delayed by 10 minutes.

The stupid FIA do not know what Australian or Melbourne weather is like.

It may end up getting heavier.
 
Slow motion replay of water being swept by a brush.
 
Boring! I want me some qualifying. They should make the drivers run around the circuit if it's to race to drive.
 
Another 10minutes.

Why do they not use water vacuums.
 
Holy unibrow, batman :lol:

Le Mans style, only with one lap done on foot.

5.3 km seems like a lot with that weather.

Or they need to push a scale model of their car around the circuit in full race gear, while on all fours.

Don't forget engine noises!!!:lol:
 
This delay is very convenient. I wasn't planning to wake up for the very start, but now I can watch the whole thing. :D
 
I got up at just after 5AM hoping to see some action! Looks like they're all going out now. 👍
 
Yay! Some action. How I've missed you F1.
 
Going out, looks like qualifying's starting.
