Closing streets of a city home to 9 million people is logistically challenging in itself but postponing the race to Monday due to rain would cause total chaos

I look forward to seeing these "brightly coloured" walls they've put in this year

Are you serious ?

Last year's race wasn't that exciting, compared to the inaugural race the year before (with the street circuit layout, of course).

Damnit why do they have to change good tracks all the time! The bumps were cool and turn 10 had nothing wrong with it!

yes the drivers are paid very high - and they already arguing about some bumps, its part of the motorsport or every track

Can't wait for this one, D'Ambrosio in practice, first Belgian since Bas Leinders, I don't expect much from the Virgin car but always good to see the Belgian flag on a Formula 1 event.

Also looking for Heidfeld with Sauber, I always tough this driver was under-evaluated, hope Kamui and him can manage some good points by the end of the seasons.

By the way, South-east Asia is in the middle of the rain season, here in South Viet Nam we have T-storm everyday and mostly in the evening, around 6:00 pm.

I put my money on Webber for this one, unlucky previous years but won the Monaco Grand Prix this season.

and the race is in a small part of town. And the main roads run over the circuit without the need of closing them.

You are also improving the roads for the people in the entire city at the same time and whilst they may not be as noticable in a bus or Honda Accord as in a Red Bull, I'd still welcome a comfier ride as I drove through.

The drivers have a right to complain about the bumps because it's their arses that are bouncing off the floor, even if less bumps does make the tracks easier to drive and the races less spectacular to watch

I'm sure the drivers are willing to take some bumps. But given that they've been complaining since the beginning about them at Singapore, I should imagine they must be quite bad. I'm sure they appreciate that all the tracks being billiard table smooth is boring. All of them have driven at Monaco, most at Macau or Pau

Always enjoy a 1hr 50min plus grand prix. Also good news qually will be live on ONE.

According formula1.com (okay, it's still tuesday) there will be a lot of rain during this weekend.

Can they race when it's raining? Remember the Moto GP in Qatar (in the dark) was cancelled, because drivers couldn't see anything with a wet track and the lights on the circuit.

I'm looking at the BBC website and it says clear sky for Saturday and Sunday nights.

If there's going to be any rain, it'll be before 8pm local time, as it almost always is in that part of the world.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

And it's usually pretty hot so the track will no doubt dry reasonably quickly. It'll be a green track which will make things interesting at the start, though

Raining extremely hard right now:

It better not rain that heavily, will cause a farce in that case.

Of Surfers '02 proportions.

Not only that, they might just end up driving behind the SC all the time.

And we even had the Fuji 07 fuel mileage fun.

I'm looking forward to this race if anything but for the sight alone. Not sure how the action will be though
