Anyone know what this Vettel Redbull chassis is called? I can see there is a sticker above the steering!!!

Should race in Europe more. San Marino, Magny Cours, Estoril and so on. Instead of these silly races in countries with no interest in the sport untill some rich guy decides to buy it in.

so.......whats the point in wet weather tyres, when conditions which require wet weather tyres bring out the safety car instead?

what on earth has happened to this sport?
about 5 years ago it wasn't even an issue.

why bother with making wet weather tyres? why is no one talking about this? its ridiculous!

Completely agree. They're so timid these days.

Most drivers were fine and it was all going fine until some fool put the safety car out there. They should have waited much longer and have gone straight to a red flag had the conditions got much worse. Running around the track behind the safety car just isn't viable - either it ruins the racing or they can't run and need to red flag it any way. If the cars *can* run behind the safety car then they can race and let the worlds best drivers decide how fast or not they can go.

Ecclestone wants to maximise the revenue and catch the biggest possible European TV audience. I agree that this commercial strategy is not very sensible from a sporting point of view. It positions the race dead in the evening time slot where the greatest probability of rain occurs. This race is no fun, its mainly a lottery.

Only 40% races in Europe, as apposed to the glory days of the 80's & 90's where is was over 60% in europe.

Karthekeyn in the HRT in P10. P10!!! Russian Roulette is in this race in abundance.

Grosjean will restart race 4 laps down from pit lane i think.

20 mins to race restart i think.

Cmon guys, track looks ok, lets go racing

Spare a thought for Kimi Raikkonen here... I think he lost his ice cream in the fridge explosion.

I claim sabotage, Lotus burnt the fridge on purpose predicting a Sunday wet race so there was no repeat of Kimi's last red flag performance.

[Goran2812]

i'd give them 5 minutes till race start... -.-
time is ticking, let's goooo!!!! -.-

Safety is why we have these safety cars and red flagas.

Same reason why when you go to a Grand Prix you sit further away from the track.
Screw health and saftey, If i want to sit 10feet on the outside of 130R, let me. If i get killed, no one made me sit there.

They're too busy being cowardly. I completely agree, the rain has eased right off, they should restart in 5 minutes with 1 lap behind the safety car and then let them get on with it.

Knowing the FIA though they'll wait for the rain to stop completely and then run behind the safety car until the cars are ready to pit for dry tyres.
