Nice going Charlie, now it's raining again.

Mario Isola just said 85 lt/sec at 300km/h while interviewed by italian Sky

[Restomaniac]

We had no rain and chose to do nothing about it.
Great call there.

Why dont F1 invest in some trucks jet engines on the sides to blow dry a race track like they do in indycars ??

You should never use logic and reference the FIA in the same sentence!

What a joke. In 2008 conditions were much worse than this, they continued regardless. I hate F1's current view towards rain.. drivers have become such pussy's compared to the heroes in the old days. Schumacher and Senna would destroy this entire field under these conditions.

I have to say Hamilton is always on the radio telling Charlie to start the race/session. I think thereare a couple out there today who could be classed as "Men" of the past

Hamilton is for sure one of the few drivers with balls. Verstappen too. Drivers like Grosjean and Kvyat are an embarassment for F1.

Totally agree about Kvyat and Grosjean!!

This has Sunday qualifying written all over it.

Send them out and remind them to quote Martin Brundle that 'the throttle goes two ways'.

I live at 40 km from Monza and it's not raining at all, it's quite strange!

[Restomaniac]

Thanks Niki Lauda that made having the day off worth it no matter what.

Quite surprising to see McLaren in such a good shape here.

BBC Radio 5 commentary suggested they were practising slipstreaming for qualifying tomorrow.

How much time can you win doing this? four tenths? it would still be decent. But as it has been already mentioned when other put their engines on qualy mode they will fall, sadly.

Well, exciting qualy, isnt it? Charlie, go home!! it always the same.

[Vasconia]

If Hamilton takes pole in the rain today then Vettel has no chance in this championship. That would spoil Ferrari's 70th anniversary party.

Why? Hamilton is great with rain and he is driving the best car. Ok, I hope Vettel can fight for the pole because he is also very good in rain and the Ferrari has a lot of downforce. Anyway, a Mercedes pole wouldnt be surprise though I agree that Ferrari fans would hate it haha.

[Schuttelberg]

Qualifying cancelled.

Finally: Mario Isola said 85 litres pers second at 300km/h! for full wets obviously!
What bothers me is why aquaplaning is worese bearing in mind we have a bigger contact patch this year!
