Start will be dry already, or short after. No rain expected after midday.

are we in for a zero stop procession on inters??

Do we still have that rule that FIA tell everyone
what tyre to use??
You're only required to use two different tyre compounds when the race is dry. If it buckets down hard enough for inters to not be used but soft enough for the race to go ahead, its possible with great care that you could get to the end on wets from start to finish.

Guys, place ya bets on Grosjean, this is gonna be 1996 all over again!
A lot of unreliability in 1996. Only 4 drivers actually finished the race. Damon Hill was streeting the field until his Renault blew up.

I would also like to blow up your theory that the 3rd best driver qualified on pole. Since when was Michael Schumacher ever the 3rd best driver during his Ferrari years. In 1996 he was the only World Champion on the Grid.

Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.

He was the third best driver of 1996 I mean. Hill and Villeneuve were never better than him, god no.

13kph-23kph winds for the race. 88% Humidity as well. If I could pull a Crofty, this is brewing to be an unpredictable race.
