    No, they'll quali the morning of the race as has been done in the past. If the weather's bad the contigency is gridding
    by (defending) team championship position, not drivers. At least that's one scenario provided by the rule book.

    If Qualifying is washed out then would the grid not be decided by the current driver standings?

    that would be interesting as Hamilton will already be put back five places, because he had to change his gearbox....

    From what I heard on Speed's coverage last night, the cars will line up by car number (discounting penalties) order if qualifying is washed out again. And rain is forcast for qualifying and the race. Penalities will apply, which means that Hamilton will start 6th if Q is rained out.
    Power to me is having the ability to make a change in a positive way. Don't dream it, be it.

    RBR dominant win, probably not a surprise since that car was made for tracks like this. Good showing from the 41 years old German, who probably could have caught Hamilton with his problem at the end if he had got around Rosberg. And Kobayashi is definitely my favorite driver this year...the guy is like Sato in his fearlessness to try to overtake, but more compose(surprising for a rookie) and less screw-up. His move on Buemi in the hairpin and Buemi's subsequent attempt to bump into him made Buemi looks like an amateur....

    Wasn't it Algersuari? If you mean the episode when Toro Rosso then had to replace the front wing, I think it was Jaime.

    Kobayashi's passing was first class , with a better strategy he would have owned 6th.

    the commentator said he hasnt raced at suzuka since he was 17

    Yeah much like Sato before him they left Japan early to pursue a possibility of an F1 seat, and to do that you need to race in Europe...
