Lol at Toyota surrounding the back of the car with people so as BBC could not film their new triple-deck diffuser! So if the twin deck ones are illegal are these ones more illegal?
Kovalainen does it again...
The onboard shot from the chasing car of him overcorrecting was quite dramatic. Once second he looked like he was holding it, the next he was gone at right-angles to the track

The sort of manoeuvre you expect to see Raikkonen making...
Rain soon...
EDIT: Fill wets? What are Ferrari up to?

This is so confusing - Glock is going on full wets now, and Button has just pitted on intermediates. Thunder!
EDIT: It's an effing monsoon! I'd be confident winning driving me parents' 207 in these conditions.
hehe. We're not at 75% distance yet. Could be interesting.
EDIT: looks like Button's won ... we'll see.
so what happens now? is the rain just too heavy to race in and they will have to wait for it to stop to restart?
Race director has to make a call: restart after a while or abandon race and the current order stands, but for 50% points as they have not completed 75% of the laps...
I'd be surprised if we restarted. A restart would happen in at least 10 minutes (not likely
) and even then I'm not convinced we get 75% race distance within the 2 hours.
Q: How do you confuse a Formula 1 fan of 18 years?
A: Show them the Malaysian Grand Prix 2009.
They're gonna restart under safety car. The cars behind Button, Glock and Heidfield start, then those three go on ahead. But they only have 10 minutes to do these 4 laps assuming they start now. There needs to be a much better stream of information to fans if they're gonna keep them interested.

Would be pointless to restart the race now.
10 minutes warning if giving right now (11:47 BST) would mean 3 minutes of racing. doubt they would even get those from 3rd onwards around to unlap themselves.

Good work JB, hope the appeal goes their way and these results stand. Shame about the confusion over where the race would actually get called though!
that was a strange race.
i know i was laufing because just earlier they were talking about how they can't cover up there car but the just position people in front of it.
