Hmm, some rain for qualifying maybe? That could shake things up, or give us a Ferrari front row.

I think Ferrari and the other Bridgestones are going to be quite strong at Indy anyway.

Halsey · 27 Jun 2006, 13:16 (Ref:1642564)

You're right, it does look promising.

I of course have no idea how credible the predictions are, but I'll comment on the forecast anyway: Mmmmmmm, thunderstorms!

Knowlesy · 27 Jun 2006, 14:14 (Ref:1642618)

It's gonna be a scorcher!

Hein · 27 Jun 2006, 14:24 (Ref:1642628)

Please, please, pretty please let us have rain!!!!!!! I dearly miss rainy races, that Ferrari sure does look good when wet.

Knowlesy · 27 Jun 2006, 14:32 (Ref:1642636)

OK, now I'm worried!

Louis B. · 27 Jun 2006, 15:22 (Ref:1642673)

As long as the weather is not too hard on the tyres I will be happy

ralf fan · 27 Jun 2006, 16:17 (Ref:1642720)

Canada was suppose to be wet too....

Well at least this year Ferrari will have a little bit of competition from Williams and Toyota if we have another problem.

Sodemo · 27 Jun 2006, 17:04 (Ref:1642740)

Yahoo weather currently shows thunderstorms for most of the week...

It is going to be bakingly hot, with not a cloud in the sky.

So it's marbles then.

Louis B. · 27 Jun 2006, 18:42 (Ref:1642813)

I feel a bit muzzled today. It must be the weather.

VilleneuveTracy · 27 Jun 2006, 19:25 (Ref:1642847)

Who are the best drivers in wet conditions, aside from MS? How is Alonso in rain?

Knowlesy · 27 Jun 2006, 19:32 (Ref:1642854)

Alonso, Kimi, JPM are all very good in the wet....tyres permitting.

Not sure about Massa.....I think he may be OK though. Fisi ain't bad either.

Could be intriguing if it does tip down.

Isnt Barrichello pretty god in rain?

Sodemo · 27 Jun 2006, 21:14 (Ref:1642941)

Montoya was supreme at Silverstone 2002 in the wet.

**ScotsBrutesFan** · 27 Jun 2006, 21:24 (Ref:1642959)

I can't remember...Has F1 raced in the rain at Indy?

Knowlesy · 27 Jun 2006, 21:26 (Ref:1642961)

2000, the first race at Indy, started out damp I recall.

2003 was very wet for a while.

But we won't discuss that blot on F1's history right now.

Marbot · 2 Jul 2006, 00:47 (Ref:1645946)

Only the weather can now intervene in what seems to be almost a foregone conclusion.What chance of rain for the race i wonder? *Bloody tyres*

VilleneuveTracy · 2 Jul 2006, 06:19 (Ref:1646002)

Thanks for the responses on wet weather drivers!

Martyn, not much. According to the most recent forecast it won't rain at Indy until this evening so we should have a dry race.
