What did they say only 5 minutes ago? No chance of rain until the start. Weather forecasts ROTR.
I was taught a useful saying by my local Met Office when I did work experience there a couple of years ago... "The met office never get the weather forecasts wrong... just the timing!"
However, I think ROTR should go to Bernie for his comments....... "Eh... It's just another race..."

A few drops of rain here and there does nothing to the track conditions. However, Brazil has always been a track when if it starts to rain consistently, the track becomes soaked in a matter of minutes and remains for several laps after the rain stops. Look at the third sector yesterday, the rain had stopped for a while but the rooster tails were pretty impressive.

Umbrellas up now! Spots on the camera, could be slicks - might be inters.... depends on if the water settles!
Why am I getting so excited?! I'm like a bloody 5 year old again!

It'll be slicks to start, unless it hammers down in the next few minutes. After race start, who knows.

Okay, my prediction - Vettel will for some reason go out, but Alonso won't quite make it to the podium.

Vettel pit-radio: We can't fix the problem.
EDIT: Turns out it's a non-wing body problem, so...
