Transcript of the Thursday presser with Alonso, Hamilton and somebody "Palmer"? It's available as a video on Sky F1 but requires a subscription. Boooo.

So in 2015 we had a man on the track, in 2016 it was a visit from Godzilla and a marshal sprinting for his life...

Kinda hoping for another 'Singapore-silly' to happen, but I can't imagine what it could be this time.

A good race?

Hoping for rain to make it extra spicy.

It is very wet right now, and is likely to stay wet.

Surprise Surprise it's Grosjean moaning about the wet.

If the rain stops it'll dry incredibly quickly. If not... well, it'll certainly be a learning process.

I think that's more wishful thinking than an honest prediction

Is it so obvious? And you're 100% right!

 

[Dennisch]

Drops are falling again.

Let's watch how Charlie postpones the race again for hours.

 

[TenEightyOne]

Let's hope they just get on and race. Hopefully with a standing start, that would separate the men from the boys.

Apparently Lewis Hamilton has become a vegan "to avoid damaging the planet".

Clearly someone on his PR team decided that he still had some way to go in the weird and unlikable department.

 

[LumpiestFish]

I've always wondered what a rainy night race would be like. Hopefully we'll get one tonight.

-5 respect.

 

[Dhalism]

Horner's reaction to Vettel's pole is adorable!

-5 respect.

A man giving something up to adhere to his principles makes you lose respect for said man? Are you sure that makes sense?

That's not hypocritical at all.

 

[Robin]

Now raining, dis gonna be good!

 

[[Nor]MclarenF1]

Looks like we might have a damp start to the race.

Yup. Do you really think that becoming a vegan will undo the damage of his lifetime of motorsports?

I think he reached an absolute with the Diana poem - it was so bad that it curdled my monitor.

Rain still falling intermittently at the track but the air temp remains about 30C, not going to be standing water unless there's a greater deluge than we're seeing now.

Don't forget is extensive collection of dirty dirty fossil fuel cars. Looks like he has some classifieds to write.

I didn't read it, on a preventative basis. I'm sure it'll make 2017 Wipe though.

You know when U2 flies around the world in a private jet (sometimes Bono's own Learjet, sometimes a chartered commercial) and stand on a stage in front of a bank of monitors and tell everyone to donate their money to charity and stop causing so much pollution?

That's kinda the same vibe as a guy who flies around the world in a private jet (sometimes his own Bombardier Challenger, sometimes a charter) twice a month to his job, which is to drive 5,500 miles in a 4mpg car*, telling everyone he's concerned about causing damage to the planet.


*And that's not even covering his own private mileage. I'm sure he'll feel good about the damage he isn't causing to the planet by not eating chicken when he flies from LA to Brackley and drive around in his new, first off the line Project ONE.

How much damage does cargo aviation do to the planet again?

 

[[Nor]MclarenF1]

Rain picking up more and more. Looks like the conditions could demand a change to inters before race start.

 

[Jimlaad43]

I don't see Lewis getting rid of his V12 Zonda

 

[Dennisch]

SOOO MUCH WATER

Yep, this gonna be a interesting start for sure!!

 

[Robin]

The heat won't be the factor, at 77% humidity the standing water won't evaporate that easily. In the tropics it can be in the high 30's but if the humidity is high the water won't disappear which is why these countries have such a problem with mosquitoes.

Wets and inters on the cars!


Edit.


Yeah I can't see this happening. The spray just becomes a wall.

 

[[Nor]MclarenF1]

I bet Max is grinning in his helmet now.

 

[Jimlaad43]

This is going to be bedlam

 

[LumpiestFish]

Oh man it is properly wet..
