Mind blown...forgot F1 was this weekend!

What is the weather meant to be doing?

 

[tummelv]

Rain early today but dry in time for FP3 I think.

 

[pingwing]

Or a very good bluff

Well known fact there's no sandbagging in F1.....

Well known fact there's no sandbagging in F1.....

i heard all the marshalls sand incase of oil spills has gone missing and renault are claiming the granules of sand around there pitbox are a lie

 

[Skeeter]

The marshals use chalk dust, not sand...

 

[arknor]

and teams dont really use sand bags

for one theres no room for a sand bag and its easier to just turn the engine settings down or use more fuel.....

 

[Flibster]

Oooh, it's Natalie hosting today.

What time does quali start?

 

[muon]

Have all third party f1 timing sites and apps received a cease and desist order? So annoying as the official site doesn't appear to work on mobiles.

 

[tummelv]

Just a FYI, it says coverage from 12.15pm BBC in this link, http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18378942

but coverage actually starts at 1pm.

Red flag from Petrov's incident so only saw 10 cars doing a qually run on the super softs.

 

[Mad_Jay]

A few tweets floating around that Singapore has extended its contract to 2017, jolly good.

Well known fact there's no sandbagging in F1.....

What would be the point in sand bagging (ie. going slow on purpose)?
How does it help a team?

Predictions for quali?

I can see the top three being the same as FP3, can't guess where Webber and Button will finish.
