Could be either the best or worst day of practice depending on the conditions!

Oh well, my highlight of the weekend is probably going to resort to getting my name read out by Ben or James on the BBC Red Button, not quite the heights of F1 paddock access, but you take what you've got to.

What type of wet running (light rain, intermittent rain, constant heavy rain) do we think will actually lead to the teams going out there, given that there is still a lot to learn about Pirelli's wet tyres?

If it rains during Friday FPs, I fear we'll see very little running, eventhough rain is said to also be forecasted some other times during the weekend. Well, maybe not very little running, but I'm almost certain that it won't have the same amount of running as on a dry practice.

The rain its self is not the problem, its the complete lack of running it brings which leads to boredom and means I feel the cold more. Although it was worse for my friend Dan last year who came in jeans and no waterproof option for his legs. He soaked up so much water we named him Dampon.
I hope it stays dry so the guys I know going actually get to see some cars going round.

I think every driver is here. Absolute chaos trying to get in though. It's still very quiet in the media centre compared to what you'd expect.

If you complain one more time Phil you're going to have Take on Me. You're not Forever Young so enjoy yourself because all these Careless Whispers have got you on the Road to Nowhere.

The RedBull livery looks somehow strange due to the faces for charity thing.

can't we apply a 'ban for the rest of the weekend'? :p

I bet about half of the baord would be dreaming of being in Phil1993's (wet) shoes.
