For those who were watching the BBC coverage, I thought the pitlane boat race was shaping up to be rather interesting. I would have liked to have seen a Lotus-Red Bull head to head.

Anyone else's Sky+ not record this morning? Seems to have mysteriously dissapeared off my box, assuming it was because everything was changed around.

Why on Earth wouldnt they just set the grid based on practice times? Seems logical to me.

5 hours ahead of the race, that'll be very interesting, specially the press conference and all the preparations... I guess there'll be a few cars starting from the pitlane.

Practice session aren't generally used to set fast times. It used to be that Friday qualifying would count if Saturday qualifying was cancelled.

Are you referring to the pre-1996 qualifying format? With that format today's second qualifying session would had been run normally, with simply no-one going out.

Yep, that's what I was referring to.

Which is probably why it got changed....and then changed again....and then ch...you get the picture.

But it wouldn't be right to use present day practice sessions as a means to form the grid.

Lee McKenzie tweeted that Qual would be at 1.50am for the 2am start, so presume it'll be on BBC1.

BBC replacing their normal BBC news with the Qualifying. starts 1:50am.

With only hours between quali and race will we see people taking it easy to avoid a crash which will end their quali and race?

You wouldn't want to do what Alonso did to his car at the Monaco GP.

Maybe my question should have been, "Do you think we will see anyone bin it during qualification? If so, will they fix it by the race?"

Thats their problem. When weather is imminent, perhaps they should set a fast time for protection in case.

It certainly makes a change. The IndyCar, Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg was postponed by a whole day this year because of the rain.

According to the forecast on the Formula 1 website, and BBC weather its going to be wet for this morning.

06:00 Heavy Rain Shower
09:00 Light Rain Shower
12:00 Heavy Rain Shower
15:00 Light Rain Shower

Sunset 17:26

If qualifying is abandoned again (unlikely IMO) they will line up in number order, not by 2009 constructor points, or at least that is what was said on the BBC's F1 coverage by Martin Brundle, and Martin Whitmarsh.

so the grid would be...

1 Jenson Button
2 Lewis Hamilton
3 Michel Schumacher
4 Nico Rosberg
5 Sebastian Vettel
6 Mark Webber
7 Felipe Massa
8 Fernando Alonso
9 Rubens Barrichello
10 Nico Hülkenberg
11 Robert Kubica
12 Vitaly Petrov
13 Adrian Sutil
14 Vitantonio Liuzzi
15 Sébastien Buemi
16 Jaime Alguersuari
17 Jarno Trulli
18 Heikki Kovalainen
19 Sakon Yamamoto
20 Bruno Senna
21 Nick Heidfeld
22 Kamui Kobayashi
23 Timo Glock
24 Lucas di Grassi

If this were to happen, the winners would be Lotus, HRT, Mercades and of course Mclaren.

Being a Button fan, I wouldn't be too upset if this were to happen, starting on pole and having a Schumacher shaped chicane between him and his championship rivals wouldn't do his title defence any harm at all.
