Why do they insist on starting races later in these countries with tropical climates – TV schedules are in real danger of denying us a full race whenever they go to the far east……

Brilliant – it’s just started chucking it down again 🙄

Was hoping to catch this in the afternoon… not sure if I can justify to SWMBO 2 hours of watching rain drying.

GET THIS SAFETY CAR IN

First time in korea

First time the f1 thread has hit 3 pages before the racing starts.

First time i’ve ever wanted the rain to stop in an f1 race!

What did webber say? Rewound it 3 times and still can’t make it out

he said he thought there wasn’t much difference. hmmmm.

Basically “no change from before” i.e., I want the points Mr Whiting, ta very much, please stop the “race”.

I think Martin’s right. Whats the point in having a full wet tyre if they’re not going to use them????

only slightly more of a procession than normal and I so hope the excitment of the pit stop still affects the race outcome …Gripping stuff as always

Can we get a ‘What tyre for a wet Korean F1race’ thread?

This is **** ridiculous!!!

For what good its worth the FIA will be getting an email from me later on. As Brundle says what the point of developing and bringing full wets if they’re not going to use them.

this is getting beyond a joke now.

This is stupid, get the safety car in for Gods sake. These blokes get millions to drive, surely they can handle a wet track?

At least it’s probably gonna be awesome when they do start. Hamilton for the win if he keeps it on the blacktop

Definately seems to be getting slightly darker

So, the FIA have just done their fully scientific weather analysis

Spot on pdf! 😉

Lewis. The only racer out there.

I have to admit listening to the team radio I’m actually liking Lewis Hamilton more and more

thank **** for that

At ****’ last!!!

Yay!

Yay, they’re gonna race!

The real reason for the delay:

Kim Jong-il just texted me saying he sent the rain because I wouldn't let him drive the Safety Car. Delusional little prick. #F1

— Fake Charlie Whiting says ¯_(ツ)_/¯ (@charlie_whiting) October 24, 2010

When i woke up at 8 with groggy head,i was gutted. Then i found out i couldnt watch it live on my ps3 iplayer xperience cant use the big tv cause my mates sleepin in my lounge would kill me…

Balls i thought im gonna have to wait until this arvo when i want to be riding,balls and crap i thought.

And then i found the thread. Thank you naofreak for an amusing start,cheers pook for the vid, and thanks to the rest of you for making me feel like i’m there whilst playing ps3 games 🙂

Inters in next few laps

Legard couldn’t bloody identify hamilton depsite the fac he’s been watching him in formation for an hour.

Moron.

Oops

Oh Dear!

Webber you tit. Serves you right for trying to get points for nothing. Feel bad for rosberg

OOF

Ohh, this is going to be interesting 😈

Not much room for error then! Webber looked like he’d recover it until he got onto that astroturf!

Rosberg was looking confident, so that’s a shame.

Legard as Rosberg appears on screen, with his name displayed prominently
“And there’s Lewis Hamilton”.

SACK HIM NOW.

Webber you ****. Serves you right for trying to get points for nothing. Feel bad for rosberg

+1 – Just need Vettel to fall off now.

To me this highlights the difference between McLaren and Red Bull . . . Red Bull are an exercise in marketing and will do anything to see their guys win and sod the fans, whereas McLaren are a proper racing team who’s sole existance is to race.

Legard: “WIth Sutil making that move he lost a place”
Brundle: “But he didn’t, as he simply rejoined”

It’s obvious he’s getting peed off with him. Think he said something about it recently too

Who’s winning, what lap etc?

I got bored waiting and took the dog for a walk. Have I missed anything?
While out I remembered there is a stretch of road I use that doesn’t kick up spray. The regular surface is horrendous in the rain, but there is one section of 4-5km with nothing. Why can’t they improve the surface with all the money in F1??

It’s complicated, but vettel. Check out f1.com for live timing info if you can’t watch
