Just checked the weather channel here (I live in Sydney), and all the talk is on the wet weather in Melbourne at the moment.

We are going to have a massively wet qualifying. Should spice things up nicely!

 

[driveroz247]

It's currently throwing it down like a monsoon . Start of Q1.

Start of Q1 delayed 10 minutes.

 

[Dan Hawkins]

[Adrian Tayag]

Please no red flags for first qualy of the season.

10 Min delay for now and i think by 1900 Hrs the Drivers will have the Problems with Visibility or may be Zero visibility due to clouds and Darkness
So if they can't complete this session today would they Postpone the Q to Tomorrow morning??

"The safety car has been deployed! Safety car deployed!"

EDIT: I wish codies had done this properly for their game. Hopefully they'll fix it up next year and save me the time and effort to correct it.

 

[Dan Hawkins]

they will say delay it by 10 more mins... I reckon they will anyway Get it started! It's going to be PACKED full of action!

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Fantastic qualification weather

 

[driveroz247]

Typical Melbourne weather. 4 seasons in one day. In a few minutes expect hail and wind, then hot sunshine in a further 10 minutes.

Yes, just put on the full wets and crawl around, even if it's just at 100kmp/h

Another 10 Min Delay

 

[driveroz247]

Reminds me of Silverstone qualy 2012. They had a power outage thorughout Melbourne, due to all the rain.

Update - Q1 set to start in just under 7 minutes.

 

[Dan Hawkins]

Probably to be delayed a bit more after these 6 minutes are out

Morning Bram Hengeveld - Up all night? Or is that where you disappeared to last night? (catch up on your sleep?)

 

[Dan Hawkins]

S/C out again - delayed again you reckon lads?

 

[driveroz247]

They're just checking how much surface water is on the track, by running the

around it. At least it's not raining so hard now.

 

[Tom Peters]

This is a nice suprise. I wake up early to fo the forum rallh championship to find that for once I can watch F1 LIVE without owning speed channel!

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Lets drive as I want to go to bed
