Default Part 2 of the Austrian Grand Prix....

I know, it's the Styrian Grand Prix, but its still at the same track

Bit wet this morning for the support races, F1 qualifying hangs in the balance.

We shall just have to wait and see how this all pans out

so it's wet, whats wrong with that? Only doing things in the dry favours those good in the dry, what about those that are good in the wet? I don't want to see anyone hurt but in the wet the skill comes to the forefront.
Just watch motorcycle racing or rallying both race in the wet, rallying.... they even race on snow and ice.

I agree, particularly with your first paragraph, but there’s wet and there’s wet.

Rallying it’s one car at a time, and bikes do suspend racing at times, and only have one spray tail from a fairly narrow tyre footprint, whereas open wheeled F1 cars make it impossible for any following driver to see anything. Remember Schumacher/Coulthard amongst others.

Practice 3 isn't available at the moment, so I have the England v Windies Cricket on.

the chances of ending up on ones butt is quite high on a bike, a car you just slide a bit. I have no idea how they find the courage to lean a bike over at the speeds they go in the wet

Watched qualification of the F1, wow impressive with the weather as wet as it was.

I wouldn't want to drive at 150mph+ in those conditions.

What a pity for Ferrari. They wanted to do so well but Le Clerc clobbered Vettel and now they are both out of the race.

Charles accepted the blame. Dommage.---- To the pits.
