It's wet. Whether (excuse the pun) it's going to stay wet or on that awkward cusp of wet and dry remains to be seen. Quali in about two hours.

[Backspin]

Well. im awake now. Might as well watch qualifying

3rd practice

1)Verstappen
2)Perez

[harrybarracuda]

Vettel says it should be Red Flagged.

Lando puts his car in the wall.

Session gets Red Flagged.

Vettel says "I fucking told you!".

Race Control must be feeling a bit sheepish.

[harrybarracuda]

We might end up with a Q2 grid, it's pissing down.

[harrybarracuda]

Going again....

[harrybarracuda]

I think the F1 site is waterlogged.

Brilliant lap from Mad Max for Pole.

Even brilianter er lap from Curious George to put the Williams on the front row.

Sir Lewis twitched a bit too much in the third sector and ended up 3rd.

I don't know if this is before or after Bottas' grid penalty.

1. Verstappen
2. Russell
3. Hamilton
4. Ricciardo
5. Vettel
6. Gasly
7. Perez
8. Bottas (five place grid penalty)
9. Ocon
10. Norris

Glad 33 is on the pole. I thought Perez would have got a higher position. Excellent to see Russel bump Hamilton off the front row.

Mclarens are fast. Norris probably gets pole if he didn't crash. Look at Riccardo at P4.

First full qualifying I've ever watched. Highly entertaining

[harrybarracuda]

From Autosport's Twatter:

Norris will take a new gearbox and receive a five-place grid penalty. The McLaren driver will therefore start from P14 for tomorrow's Belgian GP

Looks like rain and more rain for the race...

Belgian GP: What is the Weather Forecast for F1 Race on Sunday? Are There Chances of Rain or Will It Be Dry? - EssentiallySports

[bsnub]

Worst possible race conditions for Hamilton. Without all the aids of the Merc he is a shit driver.

[Norton]

Yep, Going to be a surf fest.

[helge]

a surf fest.

10 to finish ?

12 ?

[Norton]

MotoGP just finished. First podeium ever for Aprilia.

[Backspin]

Perez wiped out on formation lap. He wont start.

Lap 3: "Schumacher has lapped 10 seconds quicker than everyone else" - legend.

[harrybarracuda]

Rolling start.

How many safety cars/red flags then?

[bsnub]

Rolling start.

Fucking bullshit. Zac Brown can suck my dick.

How many safety cars/red flags then?

Apparently as many as it takes to push your paper champion over the line.

Fucking fraud.

[harrybarracuda]

Hey up, snubby's drunk again.

[harrybarracuda]

This is nuts, they can barely see 50 yards and the rain is supposed to get heavier.

I can see this taking a long time.

Apparently you have never seen any vintage F1 races, kid. This is pathetic. F1 would have never done this ten or twenty years ago.

But You are so happy that the Americans are in control. Twat.

Protect the paper champion at all costs.

Snubby can you stay awake that long when you're so drunk you're pissing yourself?

This might take a while.

[harrybarracuda]

Race Control are making a pig's arse of this, or at the very least a piss poor job of communicating.

[bsnub]

Snubby can you stay awake that long

Nope this is a joke. Good day/night.

Like the 1968 German GP? A fantastic race for Jacky Stewart but disastrous for many others. Far too dangerous to race under such conditions nowadays.

This is going to get written off, more rain is due to arrive soon.

[Backspin]

Perez's car is fixed and he can start the race
