Im going to predict the future:

Hamilton
Kova
Kimi
Webber
Vettel
Alonso
Massa

Maybe not accurate but who knows.
 
Shaping up for an ecellent GP.
 
I hope the race is just as exciting. Is Piquet finally getting settled in?
 
I want rain! It's rained plenty down here in Wiltshire, so hopefully its hit Silverstone aswell.
 
It was raining here a few minuets ago so I guess its past from the track now but it says it should rain which means our annual BBQ on British GP weekend looks dead :(
 
Enough with the wacky conditions already, the last 4 GP's (counting this one) have been ran under either rain (monaco), threat of rain (france) or just otherwise miserable track conditions (canada).

Let's get back to some normalsy please.
 
I love rain on a GP. Japan, China and Nurb last year were awesome, it made the Japanese GP worth getting up for. I love how it really brings out the true driver in them cars.

Yup. I knew he did well there but I couldn’t remember if it was front row. On retrospect you’re right.
 
Woo, very wet track. Gonna be interesting!

Edit: Nice finding the stream - it's ITV's one too, so you'll experience the annoying commentators. :p

Lets see how long they last before shouting at James Allen for being a total idiot.

Scaff
 
It's known that Webber, Hamilton, Heikki and Vettel are strong in the rain, not so much the ferraris. This one could be rather interesting.
 
Murray Walker what a ledge!

Ah the rain!

Webber on Inters, I think that's brave.
 
the track is going to dry up quick if there's no more showers. the sun is already out
 
The Justin.tv stream really sucks, it keeps pausing and disconnecting 👎


*EDIT*

What a start! It's anybody's race right now, I love it!
 
Sweet Jeeeesus!

Vettel out
Coulthard out

Massa, Webber and Nakajima having a hard time of it!

Kovalainen and Alonso running nicely.
 
Danachronism
Alonso running nicely.

The Renault really is driving sweet today, Piquet is putting up a nice battle with Heidfeld there 👍'

Also, Trulli made a nice start, if nothing goes wrong, they should be able to claim that 4th place for the teams today :D

And Kimi too. I don't think ITV have said ANYTHING about him yet...

They wouldn't, he's not Hamilton.
 
On a personal note this is a NIGHTMARE except for Kimi and Nando. I'd also prefer to see Kovalainen win :(
 
Hekki's made a mistake and now Kimi's in front of him. :(

More rain in 5 minutes...

Edit: Sutil's out...
 
Sutil out, Bourdais did a nice job to avoid being collected...

Edit: And more rain will suit Alonso.

Come on 'Nando, another win!
 
Webber's laptimes are stunning...very light car?
 
We need another safety car so Kimi can catch Lewis :D
 
just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to the link for stream :)
 
Nice move by Heidfeld!
 
OMG Heidfeld just overtook 2 cars on the same corner again. :lol:

And he is slowly catching Hamilton, is there a chance??

Edit: Well Hamiltons matching his times now. :indiff:
Brilliant race though!
 
I think this one could be Heidfeld's race if he keeps up like this...
