Japanese GP Qualifying**Spoilers**

bout 2-3 hours left ladies and gentleman. could be a wet weekend...

 

Live timing says practice (I presume Saturday morning practice) is delayed because the medical helicopter is unable to fly because of the weather.

 

does that means it's raining now? or just coudy or something like that?

 

Thanks for the reminder... I just set up the TiVo... usually I have that done by now on a race weekend... Forza Ferrari!

 

Hi Brian - Saturday practice has a 15 minute delay as the medical helicopter was unable to fly due to wx conditions and now another 15 minute hold due to poor visibility. Sitting here watching Shrek on TBS in HD - upteenth time I've seen it but always good - I like Donkey the best.

Hopefully things will get underway in due time.

It's postponed now another :15.

Probably low clouds - some rain probable. Cars probably not anxious to get out anyway unless they anticipate this for quali.

 

no problem Roy.

it's actually a bit early for quali and race here. it's only 1018 here, and quali's at 1300 hours here i think. normally, i'm pretty used to 1900-2000 hours of quali seassion in europe. almost forgot that this weekend's race is in japan.

 

good morning/evening Carol. i'm just getting some stuff done here and some assignments. i sure hope they'll show the quali session live here

 

yeap...they're showing it live here. quali's in 2 hours plus time.

 

here's a lap around Fuji with Hammi.

the track seems smooth and not as demanding and agressive as Suzuka. that 'hairpin' i mentioned ealier seems to be like a normal corner in an F1 car...

 

They're out on the track!

 

Hope school's going well for you.

The photo of Alonso on Autosport today reminds me of Lord Farquar on Shrek.

Track's gone red. Accident?

 

Session red-flagged as helicopter grounded due to wx conditions.

Everyone in safe - it's going to be interesting.

 

now 5 more minutes... ugh...

 

Session abandoned with 5 minutes left. Should prove interesting for qualifying in a couple hours.

Carol

 

Indeed, should be VERY interesting.

 

college actually. starting a new semester this Monday.

folks at planet-f1.com are saying that it's gonne be a wet quali session.

 

I'm going to make a prediction that Trulli will put that Toyota in the top 5-6.

 

they will be running light as possible.

 

Hence the basis of my prediction, lol.

 

Yay, I just got off work & I'm really looking forward to watching this practice.

 

Do you guys have a consensus as to what website is best for following the qualifying live? Is there anything better than the "Live Timing" on the f1.com site?

 

maybe pitting in as early as the 9th lap?
