Fissi was the only one who really got a dry track...
Just as Massa went out it started to rain (again) after the track had dried out, and everyone was switching from intermediate/wets to slicks, Massa got caught out in slicks...Schuey just managed to switch to the inters but as he went out but it absolutely bucketed down. They red flagged quals after Massa just pulled off the track and Micheal just coasted around because of the torrential downpour.
After Quals restarted, the track was wet and there was slight rain, but no-where as bad as when Massa and Schumacher went out

I've been waiing for this season to begin, I do not care for NASCAR. I was fortunate as a kid (12) to see Ayrton Senna here Detroit. Formula 1 is my fav.

Well with Schumacher that far back at least this race will see some passing. I'll be watching simply to see if there is racing.

Don't get me wrong. Those cars are the best in the world, and the drivers are the best in the world. The F1A just has no idea how to take them and make them into the best racing series in the world.

Has the second qualifying session been completed?

No, but I doubt it will change anything as the times are added together.

i think the 2005 season will be interesting to watch, lots of
new young drivers!
I hope Schumacher M. gets his 8th World Champion title! tho

The qualify yesterday was pure gambling because of the weather,
maybe we see today at Q2 where every team really stands.

The new Indian driver looks promising.

Was very pleased with what I saw of the McLaren boys through the practise and 1st qualifying. I think this is McLarens year.... a solid, fast car and the #2 and #3 drivers (IMO, anyway).

Im still really steamed about the rule changes... the tire's being at the front of that list... but it should be an interesting first half of the season before the engineers are able to bring everything back to where it was.

I think Michael would do well to get used to this view for the next several weeks.

Minardi decided to race in the courts...

Quote

"If Australian laws and procedures do indeed allow a judge to act in this way, it will be for the World Motor Sport Council to decide is a world championship motor sport event of any kind can ever again be held in Australia."

The nerve of FIA... If that's the way they think about the Aussie courts, the US GP is now under threat.

Holden the ruling was quite irrational. Logically the teams could get a court ruling that they could use any technology which was outruled by FIA. Brake assist, steer assist, active telemetry, adjustable downforce, active suspension, ESP, larger wings, turbos..

If the judges set rules, no civil court should interfere with it. It's sports for crying out loud.

What kind of horrible human being are you that you want the GPAustalia contested on the track and not in the courts?
