Believe me, I'm the last one who wants to see parade laps. I want to see racing, but not todays "soft" racing.
They could've raced in the rain with the heavy wet's. Why do you think a lot of driver's changed to inter's right after the SC? And the last time I checked the difference between heavy's and inter's, the heavy's could handle a lot more water on the track than the inter's.

You ignore a number of things; no driver-skill on earth can rescue an aquaplaning car, no marshall on earth can survive a wheel to the face and no sporting series on earth could survive a significant crash into the crowd.

The race cannot be run in conditions that make any or all of those things nigh-on inevitable. You say F1's run with that much standing water; can you remember when? I'd be interested to see the actual conditions and the ride-height of that year's cars.

Back to the race ... great stuff so far, one SC can turn it all on it's head though :D
 
The Red Bulls are 1 second faster than the Mercs right now. The merc hasn't been very fast on the inter for whatever reason. They haven't gotten faster like most of the field have.
 
EDIT: Grosjean overtakes Sutil.

Surely you mean six, now. :D

The Mercs are going slowly compared to the Bulls... Nico says he's going flat out... could be a tire wear problem?

Raikkonen with a slow... slow... slooooooow stop.

Now Nico is in big trouble...
 
That battle for 14th seems very interesting.

GO MALDONADO!
 
LH has a horrible sector 1 compared to the much better NR one
 
.5 gap. Go!!!
 
Lewis on Nico?!
 
Oh a Merc battle finally, Red Bulls have a chance if it stays wet.
 
Is this the first time they enable drs during the wet? Or am I missing something... :confused:
 
Hamilton pushed too hard there!
 
"So much oversteer" - Nico Rosberg.

OMG, what a whiny crybaby! Just race! It's just wet! Boohoohoo.[/sarcasm] :lol:

And now Hamilton goes wide.

The question is... who will crumble first? These guys are on the edge!

Hammy didn't lose all that much time to Nico for going off the track... Nico's apparently in real trouble...
 
Not sure why Lewis seems to be taking the dry racing line in the wet though...

Don't be stupid Lewis

Don't think it was over-eagerness as much as he simply went off.

Now he goes... GOES! That's the lead!

May be disaster for Nico... Lewis is in free air, and Nico has the Red Bulls and Button close enough that they'll pass him if he pits...
 
Too easy for Lewis!!!!
 
Pah, DRS is dumb, that was too easy
 
Lewis :D:D:D
 
YES Lewis!!!
 
Great job, and somewhat good patience playing at that.
 
Great slow-mo of Kyvat there!
 
Rosberg is going to have to pit soon, he's far too slow.
 
3.9 gap
