It's crazy wet, see the safety car is even stepping out a bit! Won't go to Q2 I'd say anyways...

 

Liuzzi had a big one boy, didn't he??

 

Some hit he got alri! Would love to have seen in car footage so could have seen what happened before he came through the rain backwards

 

Yeah, shame they never showed in-car footage of it.

But i reckon as he got on the brakes at the end of the straight, she just aquaplaned , spun him around, into the wall and he was a passenger from there on in.........!

 

Ya i would agree with ya there. Should never have gone ahead with Q2 I think. After watching the cars struggling so much in Q1 it just didnt make sense, you could see especially when Hamilton spun onto the grass that there was practically no friction to slow him down and unlike Liuzzi he had room to come to a stop gradually.

 

Go Rubens!

I don't want that moaner to win the race or the WDC

. Go Button although does not look good for his WDC lead tomorrow

. Pretty awful conditions they had to contend with. i must say though Rubens must have set about 3/4 fast laps in a row to get pole though. Great job by him. Can't wait for the race.

 

Should be a cracker. Button for the win.

I can't see it happening to be honest. Although if it rains anything can happen . If it rains though Step up the ICEMAN (aka Kimi Raikkonen).
