So almost 1/3 of the drivers with grid penalties so far, with the possibility of more to come. This is just ridiculous! ()
But will be entertaining watching the likes of RIC, ALO and VES cut through the field ().

Make that almost half of the drivers (9) with grid penalties that were out of their control. Ridiculous is being nice!!

A fairly clean and uneventful start, though some bodywork came off further down the field and what a difference a day makes, nice and sunny.

Jeez Alonso certainly didn't like Palmer not giving the position back, still going on about it several laps later even then Palmer is over a second a lap faster. What's the point of getting the position back, Palmer will only pass him again on the straight. Freds lost the plot lol

Utterly and complete ludicrous. No wonder Ross B wants them gone. It's bringing the 'pinnacle' of motorsport into ludicrous disrepute.....

If Spa was anything to go by, the Mercs will have the edge over Ferrari, with their better straight line speed.

I used to really enjoy watching qualifying, as many a time it was more entertaining to watch than the actual race but these grid penalties are getting ridiculous and asfaic detract from the sport.

Both McLaren's doing a good job in FP2.

Palmer close to Hulk.

Sand bagging from the front 2 teams?

FP3 is going to be in the rain, and a wet qualifying most likely too.
That should be an interesting grid line-up taking into account the penalties.

I have just heard that grid positions will be worked out by a new formula.

Take each drivers fastest time, add the number of 'grid penalties' divide by the drivers shoe size, take away the number you first thought of, and stick a pin in the list of starters.

Bingo! Ericsson starts on pole!

Interesting to note that in the wet FP3, Massa and Stroll ended the session at the top of the times yet neither of them featured in the top ten through the speed trap.

Says something, although I'm still trying to work out what.

The Williams is quick through the corners in the wet?
(Maybe running high downforce this weekend?)

Can Mr Grosjean get through any media interview without whinging?
Other cars managed to circulate without crashing on a straight... maybe he would do well to talk tohis team about their high downforce specs?

Restart postponed to 15:00
First booing from the tribunes.

What are they waiting for? Until the track is bone dry? Until the first snow?

Best drivers in the world, best cars in the world and especially: best tires in the world. How can this happen?

They always do this. It's pathetic. The FIA wouldn't be willing to let me drive one of those cars in these conditions, so I'm absolutely no different to any of the "best drivers in the world." If the drivers feel it's too dangerous, don't run. Simple. If you go out, you accept the risk. If nobody goes out, so be it. But what are the chances of that? I'm glad they bothered starting, but because one driver strayed from the clear line and as a result aquaplaned doesn't mean that they are all incapable of safely circulating at once. I'm just glad that they had the guts to actually run a session where Pirelli could use their wet tyres for once.
