Awesome. this made me remind me of my first Kart experience under wet conditions. it wasn't a pro race, a few were more than just regulars though.., wearing their customs helmets and suits while me and my friends were just wearing white helmets from the track lol. it was like a 15 drivers race, it started dry and then it started to rain, not as bad as in your videos, but enough to getby Slash - Off-Topic

actually Rosberg hasn't been THAT faster than Michael, in Malaysia, even after the spin, Michael was dead last and recovered whereas Rosberg finished behind him, in China we didn't get to see what Michael could do, he only lasted until the first stint and by this point in the season we can assume safely that the action usually starts by then or just before the second pit stop. what Mby Slash - F1

isn't this similar to the "Pet Hates!" thread? anyway, i'm happy, i do agree with both posts above but it'll be hard to make it perfect. i wish it was early 00's with those V-10 and the Pirelli tyres with their high degradation "feature". but yeah nowadays if only they remove the DRS and make Tyres with high degradation it'll be enough. howeverby Slash - F1

wow, it's almost incredible everytime that happens, when it happened to Jenson in Silverstone, or to that guy in GP2 in Malaysia this year... you would think they learn from those mistakes, but to happen to Mercedes after having everything else working good for them?.... they must be gutted. hopefully Nico saves the day, but it was looking really good for them and it's sad to have one lby Slash - F1

Kimi looks really strong, and for really i think he'll have a shot to the win. they usually start good so i could see him jumping up to 2nd or even 1st in the first few laps. Michael does good starts so unless Rosberg does a good one (rare), Michael should take the lead soon and Rosberg with his agressiveness hold the pack behind. if that happens than it won't be too bad for Vetteby Slash - F1

so when Rossi was faster than hayden it was all because he's got more talent and was able to ride it faster but now that Nicky has fixed his front end issues and is riding it faster than Rossi is all down to the bike not suiting Rossi's style?, really?. poor Valentino he looks desperate but really he mut work a bit better on finding excuses.
