Jesus Christ, I can’t touch @brazil2007 in his Caterham in the dry. :-/

Made it in Q3? Didn’t expect that. :-|

Qualifying Results
The rain came down hard for the third and final part of qualifying, putting the drivers to the test as they navigated the fast corners of the Silverstone circuit. The crowd had a lot to cheer about (despite the weather), with the top 5 spots being filled by British drivers. Franklin led the charge, having hovered around the top spot for all of qualifying, followed by the Red Bull of Hollis Graham, just under two tenths behind. The Ferrari of Felipe Bomeny succumbed to the ‘curse of the Championship leader’ and couldn’t quite match his team mate, finishing in 6th.

Lap 1 We’re off! The Red Bull of Hollis Graham gets a great start, taking Franklin into turn 1.
Lap 1 Ingram gets an appalling start! Falling out of the points within the first two corners. Completely swamped by the cars around him.
Lap 4 Downton and Widger are all over Matershaw right now. He’s not looking quite as strong as in qualifying. The Lotus gets better traction off the final corner, and takes off passed the Ferrari, claiming third place.
Lap 5 Almost immediately after, Alfie has followed suit, driving around the outside of the Ferrari through turn 6!
Lap 10 Kingshark is looking a little more confident now, he looks visibly quicker than the Williams of Morley, allowing him to have much better traction out of turn 4, and drives straight passed Nic Morley into 7th.
Lap 14 Not sure how or where it has happened in particular, but both Varga and Coolidge are both looking very good, looking to find a way passed the Force India or Armos.

That’s better, after a poor start I have started going up :P

Lap 31 Jamie Franklin isn’t taking this lying down, as he makes his way back passed Bomeny into turn 1. Probably the most interesting battle on track right now.
Lap 37 William Ingram has made significant progress, pushing passed Kaz Armos! However, it has led to Armos going wide through turn 6, and Nic Morley sneaks back through!
Lap 40 The previous race-winner, Varga comes to a halt on the side of the track. The team radio suggests that he’s had a gearbox failure.
Lap 44 Almost immediately after, a repeat incident has occurred, with Jackie Chan stopping in the exact same spot, claiming the same problem.

Push, Push, Push!!!!

@brazil2007 I’m going as fast as I can! :P
