This has all the makings of a disaster

The forecast for the weekend in Austin is calling for a total of 5.5 inches of rain. (that's 14 cm for the commie pinko metric people)

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Gotta wonder how many sets of full wets they have on hand...

Made even worse by the idiotic engine rules. Both Ferrari drivers will get 10-place grid penalties for using a 5th engine this week.

The engine rules or at a minimum the grid place stupidity associated with them are seriously damaging F1.

Yeah, but Ferrari was up 7% @ $52/ share yesterday:gomer:

That is the current forecast for Austin. It would appear that qualifying will be greatly impact and the race may or may not be impacted. Then again, I have no idea what impact that remnants of Hurricane Patricia may have on the weather in Texas this weekend.

This race ain't gonna happen.

Reminds me of Watkins Glen.

Well, it happened. and it was GREAT! I really enjoyed the show. A few hiccups (slow removal of injured cars) but the racing was very good. Lots of world champions out there doing what they do best. Vettel carved his way to the front rather nicely. Put him way back in every race so we have something to watch!;)

Great race.. nice to see on track action, even if the weather helped make it happen.

Congratulations to Lewis Hamilton, he deserved it... (as well has having a great car)
