I heard it spin its tires during the first parade session.

I think that it's raining and the track is wet...

The longer this goes on the more and more I like Hamilton's opinion on this track... this is not right...

Michael's sure having fun testing the track isn't he?

He's got to be bored shirtless like the rest of us.

At high speed, this water would have been cleared up...

Hamilton, "Conditions are good!". The Schu, checking his braking points.

This is stupid now, let them start, it's what they earn their money for.

It looks as if everyone is picking up more speed as they test the track.

Will we see any of the leaders pit for rubber if the whole race is under SC conditions?

TomWazzleshaw · Post by **TomWazzleshaw** » 24 Oct 2010, 07:23

God it looks no worse then Fuji in 07 or China this year... let's go already

The two different tire compounds rule still applies, regardless of the two compounds used, correct?

It only applies if it's a completely dry race.

No, the rule goes out the window if there's any rain at all.

No. They don't even have to pit, if they don't go the full race distance - which they won't.

I wanted Mark Webber to win the title, but if he doesnt want to defend it properly I may have to change my mind...

So no tire changes are required at all then? Hmm. I either change to inters now or I wait as long as humanly possible to change my full wets.

That only applies to dry tyres doesn't it? There is only one compound each of inters and wets, isn't there? I just want to see some change in position...

I thought they had to stay on full wets while they're behind the safety car?

LUCAS DE GRASSI SETS THE FASTEST LAP!!!!!!!!

Interesting fact: At Singapore Fernando Alonso scored a Grand Slam, the first in Formula 1 for over 6 years.

Also there's talk that if it goes on like this the SC might run out of fuel :lol:

I wish I would have been more active that weekend. I didn't know that happened until just now.

Same here except I have changed my mind after this nonsense. Of course he wants the race stopped and the next two races aswell, don't listen to him!

Welcome Blackmore... Not Andy Blackmore?

ADx_Wales · Post by **ADx_Wales** » 24 Oct 2010, 07:33

Decided to switch the commentary off and just have track audio, thats how dull it has got for me...

thehemogoblin · Post by **thehemogoblin** » 24 Oct 2010, 07:34

The rooster tails aren't even that big anymore. Let's go!

ADx_Wales · Post by **ADx_Wales** » 24 Oct 2010, 07:35

What a complete waste of fuel if this finishes now. What a waste of 1 out of 8 engines too...

That is what my feed is now too. Somewhere in Germany, a tech-savvy person feels the same as I.

TomWazzleshaw · Post by **TomWazzleshaw** » 24 Oct 2010, 07:35

FFS already... Di Grassi is 10 seconds faster than anyone else through sector 2... bring the SC in already!

dr-baker · Post by **dr-baker** » 24 Oct 2010, 07:36

di Grassi pits and catches up with the rest of the pack no problem. Let's go racing!

Warren Hughes · Post by **Warren Hughes** » 24 Oct 2010, 07:37

I'M SO ANGRY, THIS SHOULD HAVE STARTED ABOUT 5 LAPS AGO! What does this say to the new viewers in Korea - that F1 is a Mickey-Mouse sport full of pansies who can't race properly when there's a little splash of rain?

ADx_Wales · Post by **ADx_Wales** » 24 Oct 2010, 07:37

I'm going to say it...

Bahrain was better than this...

thehemogoblin · Post by **thehemogoblin** » 24 Oct 2010, 07:38

I might just have to agree with you on that one.

BINGO! Someone give this man a beer.

And Hamilton's saying the track is almost ready for Inters :shock:
