F1 thread for 2012

Gooooood mooooorrnnnnning race fans! Glad im not the only one confussed by the times!

Bit gutted too, had it all planned so I could get straight to volksworld show after if it was starring now.

Oh well, racing wins!

 

Looks like we are going to have a wet start to the race...

 

K.L. weather report is 80% chance of rain

 

That's going to make things very interesting. Hope its not going to be 50% distance or anything with a load of laps behind safety car. I think this is a great circuit and really want a full race.

 

Morning Don, what time is it for you now? do you do the clocks forward in Aus?

 

Morning Rick, just coming up to 6.35pm. We still have a couple of weeks left before the clocks go back an hour.

Did you see Kimi sent a Magnum ice cream to all the people in the media centre ;D

 

No didn't see that matey, looking forward to a full race, hope the rain comes but doesn't spoil it.

 

Button has just radioed in & says there are spots of rain.

 

Yep Martin Brundle says it's raining well on the grid

 

Nnnnnnoooooooooooo!

 

Rain & Newey has gone up the grid for a close look at the Merc rear wing

Kimi's Ice C.ream letter

 

some teams seem to be fitting inters and there is a possibility of a 5 min delay

 

that's messed vettel up!

 

From ESPNF1


15:55 The rain isn't really settling though. There are some big drops coming down but they are evaporating as they hit the track.

15:58 All the drivers are on inters and the HRTs on full wets according to our data.

 

It will mess a few up, but it all adds to the fun pitstops a plenty in the first 5 laps i think

 

Safety car

 

knew it....

 

Bernd Schneider has the job I really covet >

 

red flag grrrrrrrrrrrr
