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  |

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  .) |

I don't care - I'm a racing driver and I'm here to win, not to finish third.

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.

Perhaps someone should tell Hideki... 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.
