Kimi's the best driver in Rain.. Alonso is not far behind... Lewis? i don't have the data. Massa is scared of rain. Rest? I don't care much

I seem to recall Massa used to be quite fond of rain.

In the meantime, wandering around Budapest this afternoon, I've found an excellent argument to hope that it doesn't rain. There are some seriously good-looking women here, and if it's dry, they don't wear much.

Well, it looks like it's going to rain tonight. When I left at 17:00 or so, the sky was ugly and it was starting to rain. That said, the Ferrari Technical Director told us (We have friends) that they're looking at about a mere 20% chance of rain tomorrow, and about the same the day after.

Coming to you live from the track...

Ferrari are saying that they're expecting rain at some stage during qualifying, but a dry race. Expecting that they're going to have an interesting problem: Do they set up for wet, so they get a good qualifying position, or dry, for race strategy? And how will this compare to everyone else?

Incidently, we rented out a 'kangaroo TV'. www.kangaroo.tv Never go to a GP without one, certainly if you don't have a seat with a big-screen TV. Thing is pretty sweet.

Excellent Idea .. how much did it cost to rent it ? Are they available at every race ?

Manic Moran · 04-08-2007 4:21pm

Can't say it's a happy mood in the Ferrari box this afternoon. Have determined that Kimi seems as cheerful in the flesh as on TV. Oh well. Household 6 has gotten Vettel's John Hancock, and that of Peter Windsor as well.

Kangaroo cost E15 for the Fri, E50 for Sat, and E60 for Sun, with a weekend fee of E75. Of course, the signs only tell you for 'today' and 'weekend', they don't advertise on Fri that the cost will drastically go up Sat. According to the lad at the stand, they bring about 1,500 of them to each race that they attend, they've been to four so far. Silverstone, they ran out of them. Apparently it's a Canadian company, they started off the idea at NASCAR and NFL, and it seemed popular, so they branched out. Clever people, those Canadians.
