Lewis starting 15th. He is easily the best driver in the wet, coupled with the best performing "wet" car, but I would be surprised if he makes it through the first 5 laps without tagging someone.

Should be an exciting race anyhow with lots of overtaking.

The start will be interesting, lots of cars out of normal positions and looking like a wet one too. Expecting a few to go out first lap.

With 20 cars racing flat-out down to the first chicane there will almost certainly see someone cut across it.

Wonder how that will pan out...

depends on the make of car.

There is chat now about the race starting behind the safety car. Could be quite dangerous actually because they'll lose temperature in their tyres and brakes?

If I was Lewis I would take Massa out at the first opportunity - Schumaker use to do it without a penalty every season.

Starting behind a safety car, how gay!!!

so the first corner on the second lap will be interesting.

Jesus! This is mental.

Looked like Lewis had passed Kimi there just before the break?

Someone talk to me

He did but then cut the corner so had to let him go by again.

After that, literally just before the break!

It's a tad moist isn't it!

Oh maybe it is Massa behind Heiki then

bloody wet weather - hate safety car starts.  I hope Vettel does well - nice to see someone else up there however still want Hamilton to do well and ideally finish above Massa. The appeal for Hamiltons penalty hearing is on Sept 22nd so could change the leaderboard by then

Why did Hamilton start 15th? Was he just generally shit in qualifying or was that a 10 place on the grid penalty thing?

No thats Fizzy in front of him, his car looks like a McClaren in the mist.

I just don't know what's going on anymore

I believe it poured down and McClaren got the tyres wrong and he didn't have enough time to change, went out in the first qualifying.

McLaren got it wrong? There's a surprise.

Totally fucked their strategy up with the rain, however the Ferraris didn't do any better so must have been pretty tricky conditions to judge.

get in!  Past Kimi

Go Hamilton

He will hunt them down one by one now yes?

How far behind Massa is he?

I bet something crazy happens during this advert break

Alonzo next!

Hopefully Alonso will pit . Hamilton must have a heavy fuel load starting from 15th place.

Have that eyebrows!

Ha past Alonso, ace!

Whos next, Massa's in fourth who is fifth and sixth?

Trulli 6th, Rosberg 5th

I need a wee wee

Hamilton up to 4th

Right, I'll be right back

Now 3rd

Adverts in live sport should be banned

More rain please!

looks like rain or lack of rain will decide this one.

Come on rain.

No rain please!

Its raining!!!

what race are you watching dell?

It's raining here in Windsor!!!

Hamilton is on a charge according to live timing screen.

Time to take Massa out Hamilton

FFS, who cares about Kimmi, let's see the Hamilton battle

Well done Vettel, great drive.

Superb by Vettel.

great drive by vettel, and good damage limitation by lewis after yesterdays cock up.

who the hell is vettel? :0

Ze German! Toro Rosso!

minardi!

Youngest ever race winner.

Good GP that.

i only follow f1 from these threads, hence my limited knowledge...

is he "one for the future" then? tis always nice to see someone different winning a grand prix

yes another german.

He will be world champion in the future (providing he ever drives a decent car)

Still think Hamilton can't overtake?

Wins 1 race and suddenly he's a future world champion!

Certainly not, but he has shown true potential during his (albeit brief) time with BMW and laterly a below average car with Toro Rosso. A lot of the drivers rate him highly (aparently) - so do I

great drive by vettel. good race today, plenty of overtaking

I seem to remember Button winning a race once! :drive:

just the one though.

saw an old top gear with him on saying he would trade in all the money and lifestyle for one win.

Great use of smileys! :D
