If the race was cancelled wouldn't he be 66 points ahead with 50 left to play for?

There are 3 races left after Austin...

Probably enough for the FIA to call the whole thing off..once they have made everyone wait for a few hours.

Is that a pun

Most places suggesting rain until 10/11 then clearing up. Looking like a wet -> dry, if only Button had a decent car

Skeeter · 25 Oct 2015 at 09:06

With the ambient temperature if it stops raining at 11 the track will be dry by 11.15.

Its 3am there or something? Won't see anything until an hour or two before qually, so possible midday our time.

utajoker · 25 Oct 2015 at 09:17

I thought quali was 9am local time.
What times it on here then?

Psycho Ned · 25 Oct 2015 at 09:21

2pm GMT they're usually 6 hours behind but because they don't change clocks till next weekend it's only 5 now!

Looking at that, there's good weather forecast for tomorrow, so might they put the race off until tomorrow?

Radar predicting rain till about 4pm, not looking good.

*should* be much lighter rain then the past few days downpours. There is nothing stopping the teams from putting the ride heights up a few mm and the drivers easing off the throttle a bit.

utajoker · 25 Oct 2015 at 12:37

hopefully they have pumped out the drainage and it wont leave rivers on the track.

surprised they haven't got the big jet engine things on the back of trucks to dry it out also.

watching sky f1 now, if it is live it isn't raining.

Glaucus · 25 Oct 2015 at 12:48

Let us know what happens, dont want to buy a days sky pass if I don't need to. Although i'll probably get bored wasting around, buy one and get bored watching the put lane.

utajoker · 25 Oct 2015 at 12:53

looks gloomy but not raining, but still i dont know if this is live or not.
