    I agree, but that would mean that Lewis wouldn't clinch the championship this weekend.

    I had friends that went to that race - their first F1 race ever - to say they were disappointed would be the height of understatement!

    I'd love to see Vettel win out the rest of the races, he still wouldn't win the championship, but it would be fun to see Mercedes twisting in the wind, wondering what happened and how next year is going to go for them.

    Is that be the only F1 race in history where every starter finished and scored points?

    Is this COTA trying to beat Silverstone's record for the biggest race-going disaster following rain? In 2012, the British circuit had to tell ticket-holders not to turn up as the car parks were impassible:

    Damn. Vettel is taking a new engine and 10-place grid penalty this weekend.

    With torrential rain in the forecast and a new spec engine, could this be Alonso ' s chance to go top 5?

    I was there The crowd was more upset with the other teams than F1.

    Michelin was on this track the year before so they knew what it was like. They also said later that they could have had tires there that would have worked by Sunday morning but the teams they supplied said no.

    It was just another move in the anti-Ferrari days :frown2:

    One forecast said there would be spells of only 'heavy' rain in between the 'torrential' rainfall.... Wetter than a duck's fanny, eh?

    Wow, just think of how much time and money went into the development of this thing. And, as Steve Matchete often says, if any of those little elements breaks off during the race, will the driver even notice a difference?

    McLaren, by the way.

    I'm sure there is a difference if a wingy thingy gets knocked off or not. Not sure how many need to be knocked off for a driver to notice a difference. I'm thinking some drivers can add a bit more adrenaline & carry on like nothing has happened. :arf:

    I think McLaren has bigger issues than the wing. Right now that's like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

    Are we all ready to watch an entire race run behind the safety car? :frown2:

    FP2 delayed and then cancelled. Some predicting qualifying will be moved to Sun morning. I've been reading about a lot of confusion over what would happen if they have to cancel qualifying but still race. Most say there's nothing in the rules about how they determine starting order. I find that hard to believe.

    A Manor leading an F1 race then? Yeah, that would be fun! :biggrin5:

    Especially if it was Rossi.....:Thumbsup:

    I thought they did start according to points standing.......

    Given the way so many F1 drivers seem to think they need to win the race on the first lap, imagine the traffic jam and potential for carnage in Turn 1 with all the fastest cars/drivers starting behind all the slowest.
