They wouldn't race in the rain under artificial lights. It would be too dangerous.
Your assuming that, i doubt it would be that cut and dry

Does this mean that Rogro will now get the paltry upgrades ahead of Kimi? Image

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.

You were saying :wink: ? On the contrary, diverting from the path of failure would be admitting by the owner that the whole project Raikkonen was a mistake from the beginning. Lotus 2013/Acme corporation will refuse to have a chance for any success by ploughing through with it and saying after some lucky result - see - we were sooo close, we fought, it was money well spent etc. It's about image not reality.

Surprisingly enough they decided to go with longer wheel-base in Korea despite their leading driver not feeling any difference, weird.

It is only FP1 and they have brought a significant amount of upgrades to test

I don't expect Ferrari to be in contention. Webber will botch the start and Nico will take the conservative early first turn route and end up back in the pack. Hamilton will win from pole with Vettel and Kimi a ways back fighting for 2nd. Then it will be a Nico, Alonso, Webber fight.

Merc has the nicer ride by some margin and tremendous rear grip.
RBR has a better front i think.
Ferrari is just all over the place with both Massa and Alonso, no traction, no stability, and slow.

Also everyone will need options to get out of Q1.

The bulls are infront by quite a margin in FP2. I think they will get pole and victory.

It reminds me of FP2 in Monza, where the gap was bigger than in qualifying. Seems like Red Bull is going for Q3 speed in FP2 and FP3.
Dear FIA, if you read this, please pm me for a redesign of the Technical Regulations to avoid finger nose shapes for 2016! :-)

I liked how the Mercs look, very stable car, but ultimately, RBR might have more speed.

championship is pretty much over if Ferrari couldnt close in on RBR and Vettel this weekend.

But it will be interesting to see the dynamic between Alonso and Ferrari this weekend.
