Italian GP 2008

And now it's very wet - first man to set a lap, Sutil, will end up top of this session. I'll actually be surprised if anyone does a timed lap in the last few laps.

[Sawtooth-spike]

yeah its so wet i think you would do a faster lap on a Rubber ring

[ESPImperium]

Webber, Nakajima and both Mclarens and BMW Saubers didnt get their boots wet!!!

And some garages look as if they are starting to get flooded, the Force India folk are having a look under the grating to see if they can clear the water.

WIll make for a intresting GP i think!!

FP2 is dry and most running the option tyre

[chasefreak]

kimi seems to be back on the pace and the times were also very close in the seconf FP

Looks like my initial post was correct idea, wrong driver...

Focusing on the rear wing, it is very similar to how it's expected to look as of next season, I don't like the huge gap in the middle. And why are the radiator ducts to large ? Does it have something to do with the circuit characteristics? Since McLaren also opened them up to full size.

More cooling for the circuit where engine works its hardest?

rain tires look so much better than normal ones or even slicks...

Is FI' rear wing suported by a single vertical pillar? By the angle and its position I think it is. Couldn't find any other picture in a better angle.

They used 1 pillar in Spyker days

well the rain certainly has blown qually right open

So, LH is not that fast in the rain? I don't mean to bash him, I just want to see his fans and EVERYBODY's fans actually, that in todays F1 every racer is capable of something if conditions suit his car and tyres. Seems that Maccas done wrong not giving him some more run in wet conditions this morning. OTOH it may be that Maccas (and probably Ferrari) opt for dry setup for tomorrow.

Yeah it is surprising - especially as Heikki hasn't had any issues.

I can only think that he's been overconfident and gone for a complete dry setup thinking he was good enough to compensate. In the dry he was up there at the top of the speed trap times and McLaren are definitely running a really skinny rear wing.

He also set his quickest Q1 time right at the end of the session where the standing water was at it's best. As soon as there was any standing water, as there was in Q2, he was well off the pace. Could this be a factor of the amount of downforce he is running?

I'd suggest the same issue for Raikkonen, as normally you'd expect him to be quicker than Massa.
