It's gonna be very interesting if it's a wet race on Sunday! I put my money on Button. But who knows at the end of the day, we'll have to wait till qualifying

Thanks for all the pics E90Slam, you're a great source

Don't forget Vettel won his first race in a less competitive STR in 2008.

So where did this unfounded opinion that Hamilton sucks in the wet come from? Because I disagree.

There was a lot of speculation that their big revision to the car body and exhaust in the pre-season didn't actually help anything and possibly made the car a mess.

So they may be trying both revisions of the car out to directly compare.

I wouldn't say Hamilton sucks in the rain, but his poor decision making skills last season lost him a great opportunity in the Canadian GP.

Exactly. We've some brilliant drives by him in the rain (Spa, Silverstone '08) and some pretty poor ones, too (Canada, Hungary 2011, China '07)
