Pacing themselves..

There's still a lot of spray and water hanging around - don't feel it's quite right for slicks yet...

Getting close though.

What's the deal with intermediate tyres - do they have to last the full race too or can they put a new set of inters at any time?

They are wet tyres.

They can be changed.

When they go to slicks then they have to use the same ones - even if they go to wets and back to slicks - has to be the same set of slicks.

Saftey car in this lap.

Fisichella's accident could have ben so much worse. Still - thats 1 scrapped tub.

If he went in forwards or backwards there could have been more problems
