As a Ferrari fan, you don't seem to have much confidence in your drivers F1boat, do you?Quote:

Barrichello is a good bet in a wet race...as for the top guys, I think Kimi is better in the wet than Alonso and Hamilton but we will see.
Looks like should be a good race either way.
I can remember heavy rain in KL. It really buckets down. The deployment of the safety car in heavy rain conditions could make staying on the track very difficult. I think there is a tyre choice called monsoon tyres, isn't there?
There's a)wet, b)intermediate and c)dry.Quote:

Exactly what I was thinking!Quote:

Anyway we now got Vettel to impress in the rain.
:up: Both Senna and Schumi displayed a rare talent in the wet without TC equiped cars.Quote:

I have one image (in my memory) from Suzuka I think, not quite sure if it's '95 or '96, of Hill pulling out of a corner really having to play with the throttle to find the grip, being chased down by Michael.
where was he in Hungary in 2006? at one point I know he was on the inside and FA on the outside... and if I remember it right at the next turn he was behind and FA in front... and after a few laps back together with MS in front and FA behind.. or I could say that MS was some 4 kms and some meters behind FA... you could see it either way though it's not that relativeQuote:
