Kimi Raikkonen has converted a brilliantly working 2-stop strategy to a race wing for Lotus, immediately confirming the long run pace of the E21. Fernando Alonso finished in second place, 10 seconds behind while Sebastian Vettel completes the podium in third.
"...and there, very much in flames, is Jacques Laffite's Ligier. That's obviously a turbo blaze, and of course, Laffite will be able to see that conflagration in his mirrors... he is coolly parking the car somewhere safe."Murray Walker, San Marino 1985
The forecast will not be changing, just had one last chat with Massimo Rivola and even Scuderia Ferrari are singing off the same song sheet, rain for the duration of Qualifying, heavy at times and wind has been downgraded to 45 km/h.
Edit: FIA has delayed qualifying for 10 minutes in order to see if the weather relaxes...see you all after qualifying.
If someone said to me that you can have three wishes, my first would have been to get into racing, my second to be in Formula 1, my third to drive for Ferrari.
Ok time to stay on here and have some food with fellow corporate guests who are hating this delay mind you.
However our hearts are really going out to those who are outside on the grounds doing it tough in this rain!
