Korean Grand Prix 2010, Korean International Circuit - Race 17/19

Only hope I'd have is that because this is the first year of the race they'll make every effort to give the fans a race but the drivers clearly don't fancy it we'll be getting Mark Webber going round to the other drivers crying about driving in these conditions like he did in Malaysia.

Might as well not have full wets any more because if the conditions are suitable for them they dont want to race!

Surprised somewhere like SK doesn't have sweepers or something to clear the standing water.

I know it's very wet and very slippery out there but really. These people are being paid millions to do this, now MAN THE *AHEM* UP.

Sunset time in Mokpo today is 5.50pm, so not much time for a long delay and a full race distance...

The view out of their cars can't be that bad! They've all pretty much managed to get in their grid boxes pretty well!

Thing is, if they were sent out, to keep pressure and temperatures up in the tyres. And with the increased speed, increased down force = more grip. Send them out there, anyone that feels its too dangerous always has the opportunity of retiring from the race.

Dont forget "Oh shut up Alonso, do you think Senna drove around complaining that it was the worst track he'd ever driven? No you big girl... oooh I need it to stop raining"..

They are all ****.

But crying about wet gloves takes the ****ing biscuit. Probably wet from wee not rain where he is soiling himself in fear.

Why do they pay these guys the kinda wages they should have been paid in the 70's. Footballers get slagged off for 200k per week and their job is more dangerous than this lot and they only turn up for 19 weekends.

Fernando Alonso said it's the worst conditions he has driven in, strangely I thought he said that was his year at McLaren.

if there is no gp can we have a repeat of some old 80s race when there were no fags involved?

dannyjo22 · 24 Oct 2010 at 07:25

Force a car re-design then. No point going to areas where there is rain if they can't run in it.

knip · 24 Oct 2010 at 07:25

Oh shut up Horner, rain is rain, it hasn't changed in the last few million years, so how is it any different to when drivers used to race 20 years back!

Can we have a proper start off of a restart? Is that allowed?

The restart will be behind the safety car.

poor koreans, all that work and there may still not be a race.

dannyjo22 · 24 Oct 2010 at 07:26

Lewis is my new favourite.

sjcf1 · 24 Oct 2010 at 07:26

Good to hear that Lewis was saying on the radio that grip wasn't that bad.

SPARC · 24 Oct 2010 at 07:27

See Lewis wants to get this ON!! all the others are just being nambi pambi gay boys.

I'd be asking for my money back! Or a proportion of the money the drivers were going to get paid for this race, as they clearly aren't going to earn it limping round behind the SC/sat on the grid.

yeah

IF the race is total fail and doesn't start then they might as well have not botherd racing here.
BUT then we have no idea what the wimps say / mother nature happens

yes - half points = half pay
