How long does I take to change a rear wing? There was 11 minutes on the clock when they made the radio call so he probably would have had time to get a lap in even with the yellow flags at the end.

Saying that, good call by Lewis to stay out though.

Its not a quick job as rear wing damage is enough to end your race. They might have got it done but then it could have rained at the end of the session and he wouldnt have set a faster time.

When the weather is like this the place you need to be is on track.

Q2 delayed.....

FFS... They have full wet tyres...

Wet tyres don't stop F1 cars floating unfortunately.

So they talk about the drivers needing to stay focused, and then they haul two drivers out to talk to?

He's older than you think. Was in his his late 30s when he won the title nearly 20 years ago.

Max Chiltons got a good media personality, hopefully that will serve him well with the sponsor side of things.

Fair shout. I knew it wasn't as quick as a front wing change but I didn't think it took too long.

They had a new rear wing ready to put on, so I guess they knew they had plenty of time to change it if needed.

Compared to the tablet version, that is prehistoric. And to be fair, it is pretty old. I can't remember the last time they actually updated that.

I do like this version though - http://code.google.com/p/ak-f1-timing/

Any way to make the window bigger? Little hard to read on my second screen.

The return of 'for sure' ... Looks like another season of drinking games.

Caterhams paid drivers getting their money's worth with car damage lol

Skeeter · 16 Mar 2013 at 07:08

Slap !!

only joking, its going to take awhile for me to learn all the rookies names and the team they are driving for myself.
