Right then...

Rain is forecast for this afternoon.

However it's just occasional light showers...so they may be able to get away with keeping the 'slicks' if the track is warm enough.

Air temp is currently 27°C so the track temp could be in the 40's - which would dry off pretty quick.

Flibster · 29 May 2005 at 12:05

...and the show has now started on ITV1

Think it's an hour before the race starts.

Should be good, total contrast really compared to last weeks race in Monaco, look forward to loads of overtaking

Interesting to see each teams pit strategy as always really can make or break a race, + Jenson is back in

Stormrider · 29 May 2005 at 12:12

Its going to have be some race to beat Monaco. But Williams being up there and BAR back in the frame should spice things up.

No engine replacements done this race. Bit of a surprise that really.

Stormrider · 29 May 2005 at 12:25

Completely lost track of who's on which race with their engines now. Apart from BAR with all the talk about using a five week old engine.

I do have a list of who changed engines when...it's still not easy to follow though.

I can believe that

Flibster · 29 May 2005 at 12:54

God the pre race guff today was crap.

Oh well...race in 5mins or so..

Stormrider · 29 May 2005 at 12:54

ITV website reporting Sato changed his engine so will start from the back of the grid

Flibster · 29 May 2005 at 12:57

It's possible - engine changes only take 12 mins now.

However - just checked other places - and he's stills tarting in 16th - no engine change.

ambulnick · 29 May 2005 at 12:59

Thought the race started at 14:00?

Stormrider · 29 May 2005 at 12:59

Yeah just spotted hes starting 16th from the grid that just appeared on TV.

Stormrider · 29 May 2005 at 13:01

Well Satos definitely not at the back of the grid - duff info.

Flibster · 29 May 2005 at 13:02

Looks like Trulli may be dumped back to the arse end of the grid - possibly a drive through though.
The team screwed up there.

It's still warm - air temp is 24°C
Track temp is 45°C

Not usual to be that hot in Germany.

Flibster · 29 May 2005 at 13:04

Fisi stalled on the grid - He'll start from the back.

Another parade lap and then a re-start.

Joe T · 29 May 2005 at 13:04

Yellow flag

Stormrider · 29 May 2005 at 13:04

whoops can't get the car moved.

Flibster · 29 May 2005 at 13:05

They can't get it into neutral - not the first time this year thats happened.

Think it was a Minardi earlier this year.
