Quick help guys 10mins. Anyone know a rss feed or wap friendly website to get qauli results on, as I'm away. hopefully back in time for race tomorrow.

James Allen's twitter RSS feed any good? Even if you're not a fan of twitter, it should give you the info you want.

Apparently It's absolutely chucking it down at the track. Practice session with most the cars in the garages?

Latest series of Twitterings...

NobleF1 Well no sign of the tropical storm at Interlagos yet. But it has just started to rain

NobleF1 In fact, I should retract my last tweet. It is absolutely pouring down now

NobleF1 The rain lashing down on the roof of the media centre is deafening. Luckily, it's not leaking like it did a few years ago...

NobleF1 Spoke too soon apparently. @willbuxton is having a bit of leakage above his desk

NobleF1 There is no way FP3 is going to start with the rain as it is.

I want the cars on track when it rains! Not 20 cars sat in the garage doing nothing!

It's not so much the rain, but the very low cloud.

Helicopters ain't that useful in cloud.

Thomas. PLease. · 17 Oct 2009 at 15:07

low cloud base

Mad_Jay · 17 Oct 2009 at 15:07

With rivers like this, no wonder its been cancelled.

I can't see much running happening soon.

The red button on your TV/freeview box remote.

Turn your TV to BBC 1 then press your red button on your remote if you have on.
I watch it on the net as I like live 5.

EDIT= beaten to it

utajoker · 17 Oct 2009 at 15:14

if it gets to late will they just skip practice and go to quali?

and next question what happens if quali doesnt happen?

Concrete · 17 Oct 2009 at 15:15

Cheers guy, what a supprise pressing the Red button does nothing on my Virgin Media setup . . useless.
