Are there rules against swapping wings between quali and the race?

Could they not have used the normal wing during quali and then put the rain wing for the race?

Parc fermé

After weighing during each qualifying session, teams are required to take their cars to a place in the paddock, sectioned off by the FIA, known as parc fermé; they may not do work on the cars, other than routine maintenance, until they are released from parc fermé for the race the next morning.

If a team must do other significant work, body work or suspension adjustments, the car will start from the pit lane.

Cheers deleted, thought as much.

Mclaren are going to look really dumb if it doesn't rain tomorrow, unlike them to get strategy wrong

Seems a bit of a needless gamble for them really, did they need to do that to beat Red Bull? Not sure they did tbh.

Great show from Massa

What is it with Germans and making Formula 1 seasons boring?

FML - What on earth do people need to do to beat Vettel in qually!

Disapointed with the Mclarens here too. Hopefully the race will mix things up a bit...

Jam the signal that turns up his engine?

Well mclarens stratagys hardly ever pay off, so I'm betting o. Dry race.

Tweaker · 11 Jun 2011 at 19:04

Hope to see McLarens get good starts and make up places.

el_dazza · 11 Jun 2011 at 19:06

Hmm.. part of me wants it to stay dry and see Whitmarsh's gamble fail, but a wet race at one of the most action packed tracks wouldn't go amiss.

Vettel's just too good in qualifying, great showing from Massa too :cool:

Much closer than expected. The Ferrari's are handy off the line so could get interesting on the opening lap

hbk123 · 11 Jun 2011 at 19:08

Ferrari looking good this weekend.

Glaucus · 11 Jun 2011 at 19:09

Money has to be on Alonso

Irish_Tom · 11 Jun 2011 at 19:10

Webber without KERS and still got 4th really hammers McLaren even further.

That 'wet' rear wing better make a MASSIVE difference tomorrow or they will have effectively thrown the race away today.

Defo, I bet he beats Vettel off the line, its just a question of keeping him behind, with the two zones, who knows!

Hxc · 11 Jun 2011 at 19:11

Alonso is better than Vettel off the line usually... should make for an interesting race, particularly if there is rain... what time does the actual race start? am away for work tommorrow and might try and leave a tad early to get home in time!
