Predicted to carry on raining all day and maybe ease off a bit this evening.  Thus we're not going to attempt to pitch the tent until tomorrow when the forecast is much better.  Looks like a good sunny weekend in prospect with maybe a few thunderstorms thrown in.

Facebook is full of drivers complaining about the weather too. So tonight is qualifying in the wet, I guess. Fingers crossed for minimal damage for all the teams :-\

Seconded.  This is what worries me the most in these conditions as it can really affect the race.  Worse this year too, I guess, as there's been no PQ.  I also feel there are quite a few who have to pass the "rookie test" this year so hope they don't try too hard and write off any nice machinery.  (Dempsey fell off 3 times in the dry last month on the Bugatti test day ::).)

Perhaps someone should tell Hideki...  :-X
I don't care - I'm a racing driver and I'm here to win, not to finish third.

What do you want with a nickname like McDreamy, hard to stay focussed ;D

Rain now gone but still a few clouds about.  Big suns and a few clouds about from tomorrow onwards on the weather channel.  Getting cooler with thunderstorms on Monday for those driving back then.

I thought for an hour or two last night that it was deja vu all over again (although I didn't clock who was driving at the time) but by 23.15 I see they had fixed it.  Pretty good going as it looked quite a mess - presumably it wasn't as hard a shunt as it looked from the pics.

It was a belter of a smack, into the concrete, bounced into the tyres which seemed to do more damage than the concrete.

According to RLM it's lashing down right now.
