Looking at the weather radar, it appears that the rain should be more or less over now. So... an hour and 15 minutes for the track to dry... starting on inters?

I think slicks .. there is another series running as we speak Porches i think and COTA has track dryers too i think....

Porsches finished a while ago. It will definitely start on wets and behind the SC, but they will quickly switch to intermediates.

definetly no slicks. Its around 16 degrees and gray. Wont dry very fast

Is the race delayed? Or F1.com saying that the race would start at 19:00 my local time got confused by the daylight saving time change?

[mikeerfol]

Race starts in 40 minutes.

[Shrieker]

Right now the track doesn't look so wet to me. They can maybe do a normal start on inter tires.

[QLDriver]

Cars running to the grid on inters.

[Shrieker]

Yep, you beat me to it Looking at the spray, i'm thinking we might start seeing slicks at the first stops.

[bauc]

Weather is good. looking forward for good race

[godlameroso]

Awesome, race will be won by the person that judges perfectly when to fit slicks. It's cold and humid, the track is 'greasy' and strategy will win this race. It will not rain again but the random small mist might come and go.

[Spoutnik]

Ferrari looks to me like the favourites. Their setup seems to be a dry setup imo

[QLDriver]

From 14th and 18th (I think!) that will be impressive.

I think Vettel is 13th. Bottas has a 5 place grid penalty for gearbox change.

[QLDriver]

He set the 5th fastest time so I think Vettel would have been 15th otherwise.

[QLDriver]

Autosport says he's 13th, so presumably Raikkonen's penalty was applied after his.
