Morn all

P3 on in 10 mins. Hope all the OCUK guys over at Spa are having fun and taking some great pics

Absolutely peeing down again at Spa, should be fun though maybe not for the folks sat there in the wet!

Duke · 27 Aug 2011 at 10:08

More rain than yesterday!

DBT85 · 27 Aug 2011 at 10:08

Not going to see much running then I would assume. thought hey all need to try and work out how to get around the track fast in these conditions assuming Quali will be the same.

Any thoughts on who might set up more for Quali than the race? IE, more DF to help with the wet to get a better grid slot at the detriment of top speed on Sunday.

I'd love to see this weather tomorrow. Shame they would just plod around behind the safety car instead of actually racing now.

Will it dry out fur quali?

Reaper 392 · 27 Aug 2011 at 11:24

did i miss much in the first half of practice.... i was slightly asleep

Mr Jack · 27 Aug 2011 at 11:28

Senna two seconds faster than Petrov? I didn't watch any of it, was that legitimate or did they just set times in different conditions?

Is there any way I can get a live BBC stream of the race in HD? Otherwise i'll just have to stick to the normal BBC live stream...

sunama · 27 Aug 2011 at 11:48

For those interested, the top3, practise3 (rain effected) times were:

Mark Webber 2:08.988
Lewis Hamilton 2:09.046
Jaime Alguersuari 2:09.931

The Toro Rosso's seemed very fast in final practice in the heavy rain. I'd guess they're going for a wet setup for quali to get a good starting position in the race.

Poor old DC gets asked about 98 every year they turn up here!

They were showing the highlights of it on the red button earlier and it is still the classic F1 race it had it all, massive pile up, Schumacher getting smashed up and losing his rag and Damon Hill winning

The conditions they started in that year they wouldn't even come out of the garage for now!

PinkFloyd · 27 Aug 2011 at 12:18

Can they clean the foggy camera lens they're using? It's bugging me!
Missed all the on track action so far so looking forward to this!

Shut up EJ, they are adrenaline junkies and they need to do these other sports.

tummelv · 27 Aug 2011 at 12:39

LMAO at eddie jordan skipping while getting into the car after his team won the race!

Glaucus · 27 Aug 2011 at 12:42

Why does EJ do voice overs, he hasn't got the voice for it.
