Btw shows how "accurate" these weather forecasts are. An hour ago they were predicting no race until after qualy and now we have a thunderstorm.

I fully expect dry race tomorrow.
Just about every different forecast site has a varying forecast.
So hard to know. Most seem to have it fairly dry in the morning. But afternoon seems to vary quite a bit.
These type of localized thunderstorms are very hard to predict.

Hahaha...that thing with the injected tires with water is so funny. For Brasil seems no one need to make this trick, there is plenty of water outside :))) Red Bull continue to surprise me (aka eat what is coming out of the ass).

Coming from Red Bull kitchen "McLaren has a hole in the tire that helps them cool tires" which after it was sealed had no change in pace.

Exactly, Red Bull is saying that "other teams, including McLaren...bla bla". Let me take it for a second what other teams are we reffering to: is not Sauber (0 points), is not Visa (sister team), is not either Alpine or Williams or Haas (RB is not giving a --- about them), and not AM (too slow for this). So remains Ferrari, Mercedes and McLaren. So all the major teams are playing this trick only Red Bull is the Virgin Mary of the F1. Nothing to say.

They are just throwing out random things hoping someone is cheating. They said they entertained the idea couple of years ago but it was "allowed back then". Maybe someone should investigate that or question Red Bull engineers.

It's becoming annoying though at some point with that constant crying and baseless cheating accusations.

On other news we might have qualifying.

It's fun to see how desperate Red Bull fans are for the race to be cancelled.

Yeah, they should hope that qualy starts and Lando bins it in Q1.

And they seem to be trying to find many excuses. The Flappy Rear Wing, the stewards suddenly and now the water on tyres. They even accusing of the VSC of today to be fixed to stop Max. What else are they gonna find till the end of the year I wonder.

In the meantime we will have Qualifying. How is Mclaren preparing for a wet qualifying cause I am hearing Ferrari might be go for wet settings.

And is strange how everytime the McLaren updates are working. Probably they have a veeery smart computer at MTC. This should be ban! Let's give the both titles to the team that was soooo superior in 2023 and at the beginning of the '24 season that they forgot how is to have real competition.

I remember how the media applauded the work of Red Bull in 2022 and 2023 and projected that other teams should do a better job. Who's doing a better job now? Perhaps Horner should fix his damn car as he used to say.

In the meantime thunder and lightning has stopped but it still rains heavily. If they are gonna try racing they should do it now as they don't have much daylight.

If there was any validity in their complaint, this would have been slam dunk DSQ for the team. Red Bull just waits until the race starts and then reports it to the FIA, FIA seizes the tires after the race and checks them for water. Given that this did not happen it's likely that Red Bull is just reporting their bag of tricks they used in 2021, 2022 and 2023 and can't use now because they had high level engineers (with the knowledge of potential cheats) leave the team.
