    So today is potentially the day for action.

    Anyone know what the weathers doing over there? Duncan and co. Does it look wet or dry?

    I love some rain as long as its not heavy. Cos despite the fact they ran FP3 on full wets, they wont allow that in a race.

    Its inters or cancelled these days for some reason

    Great effort by most of the field there. I'm surprised that it was only Sainz that binned it, although Vettel had an extremely close call.

    I don't get this. Has F1 become oval racing, where every bit of rains cancells the whole thing?

    There are no tyres or set up for rain anymore, because the teams know that if they cry to FIA, there will be no wet running. If the teams knew that driving would be obliged despite weathet, they would demand monsune tyres and would have proper wet setups

    It has been relatively unusual in this case, but generally I agree. Many of the wet races of recent years are nothing like Adelaide 89 or 91 etc.....

    I remember Martin Brundle often telling a story when drivers were unsure in maybe one of those Oz races or Japan 94? That Bernie came down the grid telling them to get in there cars as the race would be starting in 10 minutes not matter what.

    Well according to this forecast, things look relatively good that the race will be run in dry, but windy conditions.-
