Thunderstorm has taken out the SkyQ here.

Hosing it down and the last lightning strike was only about 1100ft away... *1 second between lightning and thunder, speed of sounds at mean air pressure is ~1100ft/s*

Hoping it comes back soon, I'm currently using SkyGo

Apparently very cold, and rain on the way.

Will the Mercs have trouble getting heat into those Ultra Softs, based on how they struggled in Monaco?

Skeeter · 12 Jun 2016 at 18:38

Yes. But so will everyone else.

Glaucus · 12 Jun 2016 at 18:39

Went into work early so could watch it, however probably start about 8:30 so probably miss the last few laps.

Ric But Alo Ves for my race winner bets today

CaptainRAVE · 12 Jun 2016 at 18:43

Unpredictable showers possibly, could make it interesting.

UTmaniac · 12 Jun 2016 at 18:44

Few drops of rain starting while Boullier being interviewed.

Hope drivers can still opt for slicks at the start!

amazing singer.

did it start raining because boullier was being interviewed?

Skeeter · 12 Jun 2016 at 18:50

All the build up over the last 3 days has been about the potential for a wet race. Which means we will have a bone dry race now

CaptainRAVE · 12 Jun 2016 at 18:51

Some corners are damp apparently.

utajoker · 12 Jun 2016 at 18:53

no rain falling.

Hertfordshire. Bit north of Stevenage.

Had another couple of sub 1100ft strikes too. But, SkyQ is back.

Wait, no brundle?

Recovering after an operation. He hopes to still drive in the hour race before le mans.
