Aquaplaning

Malaysia Qualifying! Oh it's good again. Plenty of rain. All but the top 8ish drivers went straight out in Q1 while it was raining to get in a banker lap. And what a good choice. By the time the big men came out it was to slippery and we have had plenty of people aquaplaning - just love that word. They used to use it a lot in my early days, can remember Murray saying it plenty, but then it seemed to go out of fashion. But Button has just said over the radio that he aquaplaned off and he's ended up in the gravel trap and stuck. He's 13th at the moment but with plenty guys behind him hoping to improve. Alonso just 'pirouetted' according to Jonathan Ledger! Replay shows it was 3 times round!

"I love those races where the grid's all mixed up." Well said Martin!

Oh dear: it's Alonso 19th, Hamilton 20th, Massa 21st!! And Button is going to be 17th because he won't be able to take part in Q2!
Button and  Hamilton aquaplaning off. (I'm loving print screening)










Just had a shot of team principals (have tried spelling it both ways - I'm just not sure which one it is here...) leaning away from their computers on the pit wall and sticking their arms out to see if it's raining again - teehee!

"Race control - indefinite delay"  How epic!!

Was a good one - Weber got pole going out on inters for the last moment.  Looking forward to tomorrow morning!
