Both quali and the race might be interesting.50-60% chance of rain for quali,30% chance for the race

It appears they are now saying 50% for everybody. This is just stupid. No need for the FiA, just let Red Bull set the limit.

Haven't heard/read it yet, but apparently Whitmarsh and Horner were getting into each other at the press conference.

[What's Burning?]

It's pointless... wishy-washy... noncommittal, indecisive, aimless...remind me why am I not watching INDY? Oh yeah, because I fall asleep during qualifying.

@AdamCooper
FIA press conference turning into heated Horner v Whitmarsh debate. Seconds away, round one!

@AdamCooper
Tony Fernandes on Horner v Whitmarsh: "I don't understand anything these two just said..."

@F1Photographer Darren Heath
#Ferrari Domenicali to #McLaren Whitmarsh in #F1 P2 re; #redbull blown diffuser. "The f@#kers are doing it again"

[What's Burning?]

Why am I reading comments about saving tires? Are Inters and Fulls given for the entire weekend's use? I thought that they got 3 options and 3 primes but that it didn't apply to rain tires... is the saving of tires comments because they think there's a chance they'll do qualifying in wet conditions tomorrow?

I wonder if we're going to see a protest

Yep, limited full wets and inters.

I thought it was strange when MW and SD were talking during FP2 today.They soon got well out of ear shot when the cameras got near
It's turning into a shambles ,either ban it or don't.

Webber and Hamilton reported to stewards for using DRS in the wet. No action taken.

Hopefully thats Lewis getting the stewards thing out of the way early this week

oh my days..this whole little dispute thats going on between the teams about the off throttle blowing diffuser is getting tiresome...the FIA keep changing thier blinking minds...now its come out that any teams that use Renualt Engines will be allowed to run its engines at 50% throttle when the driver is not using the accelerator...which i personally dont think is fair...i think it should be at a SET amount for ALL teams....Renualt can agrue that it gives the other teams that dont use their engines and advantage because of how differently they work...but like was stated by Martin Withmarsh 'all engines run differently'

Anyway the technical side of F1 mostly goes over my head...im just looking forward to this weekends race

The FiA - they used to be indecisive, but now they're not so sure.

Who is this Lewis 2.0... “I also suggested a couple of tweaks to make the regulations clearer and safer, so it was quite a useful visit.”

First the beard, now this? I don't think Ali G would have said that.

[Denthúl]

So, uh. They've decided it's now illegal.

But because some teams were doing it before it was illegal, they can carry on?

...what the f***?
