Since when did Brian France and Mike Helton start running F1?

Sounds like being at work was actually better than watching this farce. But then I should have refused to work; it was wet outside! :cry:

Seriously, what is the point of the wet tyre? Time to retire, Charlie. Health and safety has gone mad.

Well that was a pile of shite. I used to look forward to wet races/qualifying, shakes it up a bit. But now I worry they just won't race at all! Seriously, what is the point of wet weather tyres, when they are barely allowed to race on them?

Everyone knows that once 16 cars are on track, the conditions get better.

Can't say anything about visibility though.

Can someone explain to me why they don't just make a wet tyre that can disperse the water, you know, like the Bridgestones used to be able to?

They can, it's just certain drivers (just one driver?) moan about racing in the wet.

Glad I didn't get up and just watched a recording.

I thought NBC's was alright, similar to Speed but seemed better. Maybe that's because Leigh Diffey was fronting the show, I'm not sure.


That's cause Diffy is god.

I prefer Bob Varsha Diffey talks too much with his harsh voice.To each his own i guess.

It's easy for rally drivers to say that, because they have windshields!

Oh, never mind.

Charlie is trying to run away from the rain, but it's very likely to be wet in the Sunday morning, so what's next, Qualifying on Monday? lol

I just hope Sportv will broadcast that, Globo won't for sure. I love Australia too, since the good old days of Adelaide and it's .30 timezone, it was so nice when the season ended there, I really miss those days and Melbourne is great too, Australia is such a nice country. I just don't like Bernie's idea of placing the race so late in the afternoon, if you have any problem the natural light will fade away and well we saw the results of that in the Qualifying. Maybe that will make them change it a bit for 2014.

Thanks man! I wonder if Charlie Whitting find out there's no conditions again if we will have the Q1 times as the official results.
