Haha, I need another controversial quote if that's to happen.

Just finished talking with an old colleague who is at Suzuka, about 08;00 local time. He said it has been raining non-stop since 6 and looks like rain off and on all day today. I still wish I was there instead of Atlanta.

Wakey wakey y'all ..

Edit: better stay in bed .. very wet, not much fun today I reckon.

Edit2: actually, there was quite some driving until it started to rain again.
Alpine's look confident in the wet ..

Will the race control pull back the start time of the race? Just to get the preparations going if there is a rain delay and to have an early start to manage contingency. The track doesn't look like a fast drying one.

Suzuka has a very rough Asphalt if I remember correctly and it looks so. It works very good in wet conditions and is early ready for inter.

Excellent discussion with Mario Isola of Pirelli about next years tyres starting at about 1hour 10 minutes to go in FP2.
Constuction changes, lower blanket temperatures, pressure deltas, understeer characteristics

That was great. One of the best guests in the commentary box.

Loving being able to watch all the sessions live for a change too.

Mario Isola also mentioned that next year in two races they will trial only giving teams:

- 2x hard tyres for Q1,
- 2x mediums for Q2,
- 2x softs for Q3.

I don't understand why they want to do that!

[search]

me neither. Isola mentioned that teams often save softs only for Qualifying, but unless they plan to bring less tires in total (=reduce costs) I don't see what advantage this is supposed to come with

Spice things up.
