2016 Grand Prix of Brazil - Interlagos, 11-13 November

[godlameroso]

If you only knew who I work with I got access to some pretty cool weather stuff. Mostly you do to if you know where to look.

http://weather.cod.edu/index.php This is a good site for U.S. weather.

https://www.windytv.com/ This one is ok, has nice graphics and you can cycle between GFS and ECMWF

https://www.wunderground.com/ Probably the site with more or less the most accurate forecasts because they use data aggregates from air ports, weather stations, weather ballons, radar, satellite, and some other stuff I can't remember. Plus I'm pretty proud of the fact they used some of my code indirectly

Lol am i mistaken or does even your wunderground website show that there is actually rain predicted for saturday and sunday? Like GPRA said

I said it was going to rain, look at the first page of this whole thread

I'm only a messenger.

More stuff if you like getting your nerd on.

Cool

Whiting will attend PC with (dramatic music) Verstappen and Vettel. Another clarification Charlie? Will he clarify track limits as his friends at RB requested? No, backslapping session and all is good at Todt's emporium of doing evil stuff quietly and behind the scenes.

Why didn't he go to press conference with:
- Hulkenberg - Sainz (Sing)
- Massa - Alonso (USA)
- Sainz - Alonso (Mex)
- Verstappen - Raikkonen x2 and so on.

They all talked. Equal and more equal is the answer.

Some weather forecasts

Rodolfo Alves ‏@Rodolfoar07

SATURDAY: Cloudy/Mostly Cloudy with chance of light rain/drizzle at times. Cooler. Air Temp 19-21ºC
SUNDAY: Mostly Cloudy Skies with chance (40-45%) of some Rain Showers for Race Window. Air Temp 21-23ºC

Ian Fergusson ‏@fergieweather
@mraishbrook trend lately increases chance of patchy phases of rain (this looking fairly light) at times on both Sat and Sun at Interlagos.

So no worries about SC starts. That wont happen.

sounds like a dry race to me

I think that Whiting will announce that starting from next year, or maybe from Brazil onwards, he will enforce every rule from the start of the race and not from lap 2 until the end of the race (current rules).

Why would he?

Because RB drivers and Team is crying like B*tches?

Because any reasonable impression of partiality is deadly towards the stewards, hence why Whiting feels that it is necessary to explain himself to the press.

it is only for entertainment value (that is very limited imo)

Shame Interlagos isn't the last race of the season anymore. It would be nice to wave Massa off when he's retiring. Last race of his career in F1, last race of the season and it's in Brazil. It would have been perfect. I think I'm getting used to some special moments in the past.

- Special livery of the Red Bull of Coulthard in his last race
- Schumacher's lap towards the grid on his last race of his career
- Webber driving around after the race without his helmet

Perhaps Hamilton's antics a few races ago has spurred a slight change of focus in the press conference, so we can now have an open and transparent discussion of the issues instead of getting 2nd or 3rd hand information of alleged conversations, or reading opinions of how the FIA are to blame for favouritism or some other nonsense.

[pob]

Any move towards greater transparency is a good thing even though the drivers will probably have been prepped so that they'll be singing from the same song sheet as Charlie.

- Rehearsed public performance for one specific case is hardly transparency.
- Explanations worthless. Hamilton didn't 'escape' anything because like Verstappen (Spa, Hun) he wasn't even investigated. The reason is the same, it's easier to avoid reality that way.

Did you miss the press conference where Charlie clearly stated that Lewis backed off as confirmed by his telemetry? Of course one must then believe him...

However, you have to be pretty daft to think the stewards don't look at every incident and make some kind of informal judgement on it. Whether there is an "investigation" notice that flashes up on your TV screen or appears in some form of official document is kind of irrelevant isn't it?

Getting fairly excited about this race, given the mixed forecasts. How refreshing would it be to see an RB or Ferrari on pole? After their respective years of dominance I never thought I'd feel that way but here we are. An actual race for top step on the podium would be a treat.

It's best to completely ignore the existence of the person you are responding to, as it will be better for your sanity in the long run.

Backed off meaning what? How does this nonsense pseudo excuse change anything? This backing off doesn't change the fundamentals of the event. He out-braked himself as confirmed by telemetry and everyone's eyes (advantage compared to drivers braking earlier and making the corner) and drove straight as confirmed by GPS and eyes, didn't even try making the corner (as confirmed by telemetry again ) which resulted in saving tyres and thus gaining another advantage. The part when he can't make the corner is his fault but without the price - the end.

Whiting's clarifcation is the usual mockery: we are always right. Does anyone expects them to admit to bias? They either say they are right (despite dozens examples of contradictory decisions), or it's a problem with unclear rules (no, it's you), or the best part: it's the track that is to blame. We change the track = problems will disappear.
