I like heated visors, cool idea, but why does it have to be tied into the computer? I heard that there were 47k letters in protest of the Hamilton penality last week. I laughed about the good news, bad news conversation between the engineer and the driver!

Yeah. I just hope the STR boys picked the right set up for both quali and the race. Be a shame if they were the only ones running a full-wet set up in quali and the race is dry...

Perhaps here is why McLaren had the wrong set-up for Hamilton.

BBC Weather feed
Sunday: heavy showers, Max Temp: 16°C (61°F),
Wind Direction: ENE, Wind Speed: 4mph, Visibility: good,
Another source sides with the one quoted in the previous post:
Sunday Morning Temperature: 54°F
Cloudy with sunny periods with showers likely.
Slight chance of a thunderstorm. 0.12 to 0.24 inches of rain.

Sunday Afternoon Temperature: 57°F
A mix of cloud and sun with showers likely.
Slight chance of a thunderstorm. 0.08 to 0.2 inches of rain.
We'll know soon enough.

It was great just as long as you arent a McLaren or Ferrari fan.
Celibrated last night with a bunch of Red Bull and vodkas.
