you can see it rained tonight..

[mep]

please stop these raindances don't forget that some people have to live here

thankyou so much ,but I would be happy to be wading through some water the next 3 days if this helps Norbert and Ross or was it Pastit and Brittney ?:mrgreen:

weatherforecast again changing :Now rainrisk 70 % for Sunday after 17:00 ..please more long distance raindance.. =D>

Saturday morning rainy but qualy dry...

Ican tell you temps have dropped now since yesterday considerably..so the supersofts have a chance to live..

How can we know it will even help them?
During last races we saw that their weakest point is race strategy. Thats the most essential thing when it comes to a wet race.
Cold temperatures - have they figuered out their tire heating problem with the former Brawn car finally?

[marcush.]

to my understanding ,nothing has helped until now..so at least the rain will open a lottery I´d love to have it changethe whole weekend..that would be perfect for Pastit
in his current mood...

Welcome to FP1 - the first practice session is underwey at Hockenheimring with rain still coming down and drivers on full wet weather tyres!

Hamilton has wrecked his car!
Tank slapper moment, on the exit of turn 7 I think.

Nope, at Turn 3!

He put the power down exiting the right-hander and the rear snapped sideways. Hamilton immediately attempted to correct the slide and the car snapped the opposite way, pitching him into a wild spin and heavy contact with the tyre barriers.

As expected, rain has played part in FP1 standings till now with Pedro de la Rosa is fourth ahead of Petrov fifth, Vettel sixth and Massa in seventh place.

They do have a spare floor. I wonder if they can get it fixed in time for P2.

[ringo]

At least now they can run the old floor with hamilton and compare it to button with the new one.

Yeah if they can fix the car in time for P2 would be mighty. But is that realistic? Is seems like a heavy crash IMO.
