How many times have we seen this now? Teams thinking they'll out-think everyone and end up with egg on their faces.

Whatever happens, qualifying is again proving a bit more exciting than the GP itself so far this season.

Close for TGF; a bit pants in the final sector. Which would have been a shame as he was strong when everyone first went out.

Red flag now to give the remaining teams time to replace their full wets with oars.

Respect for Force India! No pesky Renault in front of them this time!

He did well to keep that on the island to put a time in, good pole for the inevitable half race we have tomorrow
McLaren and Ferrari...what can I say? Utterly baffling. They weren't exactly going to destroy a set of inters for one flying lap as a banker were they? Seems like a no-brainier for me, especially when you consider the notorious unreliability of the weather radar. |

The world continues to show it doesn't understand weather forecasting, probability and uncertainty.

As a Webber fan, I know you have to celebrate the small things, so well done Webber on a good choice and keeping it on the track. Use the same tactics tomorrow for once.

Nice pole position from Potsie, although the Beeb struggled to commentate on something us poor viewers couldnt really see
 Go Potsie!!

I think it's interesting that in the sort of conditions Schumacher used to excel in, he has been comfortably beaten by his teammate. I guess there's still the race to come, and I don't think Rosberg has ever looked impressive in a wet F1 race.
I sort of want the race to be dry though, I think it would be interesting to see how Massa, Alonso, Button and Hamilton could fare in a straight fight from the back of the grid. |

Apparently, Sepang is in need of an upgrade and maybe that will include a weather radar system that works.

Does the circuit maintain and provide the weather forecast and radar station? I thought they were all provided by Meteo France and assumed it was some sort of mobile service. All teams use the same provider now, it was part of a cost cutting measure IIRC.
I thought the predictions today were pretty good. To be within a minute or two is admirable. Predicting severity is difficult too. All weather predictions are estimations of what is most likely to happen, not a definitive prediction. Then the weathermen get berated because the people who read it don't understand. |
