Conditions are so bad that no one has driven off the track in first two sectors.

Wow what terrible conditions, cars off everywhere, huge damage, 2 pileups, 4 flips, fires, aquaplaning, my goodness why didn't they keep the safety car out longer!

This post sponsored by the mind of Charlie Whiting, where the worry of that kinda thing happening keeps us from good racing in wet conditions

Track sucks for overtaking, too many fast corners.

Perhaps we're lucky Codemasters left SC out from their F1 2011 game. Would have been extremely boring to play it in wet weather settings.

Loving the spontanious bout of irony that suddenly overtook the entire thread :lol:

On current form they'll probably not bother allowing the GP3 kids onto the track because they're so scared there'll be a drop of water left by then, the precious racing children won't be able to handle it

Goes back to my comment about an SC start because of spit on the track.

Dull? This is like, shoe-in for race of the year. I think Valencia wins it, though. That was even better. Oh boy, loads and loads of action on track. Overtaking, terrible conditions, crashes... this race has it all!

Be fair, Silverstone is a great track for racing, wet or dry (2002, 2003, 2008 all amazing races) and even in GP2 it's pretty good, Lewis winnnnnning a 3 wide battle, etc.

Just the FIA hate racing and want to prevent it wherever possible. *shakes fist*

Fun fact by the way: every GP2 race this year had at least one lap under Safety Car.
