Thanks Ed
That is an interesting list of names near the front.
Would be great for F1 if it were able to actually happen in a race every now and then. Send down the RAIN :twisted:

We are set for a wet qualifying but the race at this stage is expected to be dry.

As a result, some drivers will run qualifying on a dry setup due to parc ferme rules.

I think I've seen everything that could happen in F1 this year. First, we have Montiero's podium at the test session known as the USGP back in June, and now Karthikeyan's 2nd in a practice!!

What next....Michael Schumacher wins a race this year with a full grid? :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

Thanks Ed, I am just imagining the chaos at turn 1 if that was the race grid

If it doesn't rain again during the session, the late runners will be advantaged!

Session underway and Coulthard is the first on the track!
