Qualifying is likely to be a lottery too!

Lets hope the rain isn't too heavy otherwise we'll have a race behind the safety car or no race at all. Several drivers talked about the possibility of not racing if conditions are too wet.

Yes, I meant the race could be a lottery because of qualifying. The V8s run in the rain :lol:
