There has been at least one wet race every year back to 1986.
I remembered one per year back to 1990 but needed wiki for the late eighties.
In 1986 there was no wet Grand Prix though I can't speak for qualifying.

In my opinion, better than Di Resta, Kobayashi, Ricciardo and Vergne.
Don't know how he compares to Grosjean, Maldonado or Hulkenberg.

Just an opinion though

Edit: Clicked the wrong f###ing button though! Meant to click among the best!!!

From memory there has been at least one rainy race every year back to 1990 where my memory fades out.
And that's not even including Quali.

edit: Updated twice as remembered Spa 1992 and 1991.

It rained at Silverstone 2002.

Massa is in contention for coming through all the criticisms of being a Grosjean in his early career and nearly winning the Ultimate Prize. As a lesson in what you can do if you put your mind to it, Massa proved everyone wrong in 2007 and 2008. But he's not number one in my hero list. Its going to s...

Agreed on the 2008 Renault, I always thought that looked pretty good, not sure where the hate came from. The 2009 Renault on the other hand... bleh. I'd like to throw in the early 2000s Sauber. I never really liked that to begin with but the more I see it the more I warm to it. Much better than the...

Hate to be the one to ask but what happened to the French GP negotiations that were going on to replace New Jersey?
I know Paul Ricard said no but wasn't Magny Cours being considered too?

Not that I'd mind a return to Austria or Turkey either.

I was thinking about how much the colours change over the grid as time goes on. There are some great designs that have been lost like the Canon Williams and the Marlboro Mclaren. But there have been those which at the time you hated and looking back now find extremely beautiful. Kinda inspired by th...

Grosjean. I'd like to see Kamui in the Force India against Di Resta.

I'm sorry but I think the only drivers they should consider should be drivers that could, in the right conditions, win a Grand Prix. Does anyone really think that Sutil could win a race? What was his best race, Monza in 09? Where the car was good enough to finish right up with the winner in Spa in v...

2008, even though as a Massa fan, it was probably the most gutted I've been watching F1 (deaths/serious injuries notwithstanding). I think I was too casual an F1 fan to really appreciate the magnitude of 1994 (at the time) and not invested enough in Villeneuve/Schumacher three years later. 2007 was...

- A Massa victory preferably in Brazil but with Alonso finishing, so no-one will say "We all know Fernando would have finished in front of Felipe" - Perez to pick up the pace a bit and remind people why hes going to Macca. - A Grosjean podium. - Schumi to finish on a high. - Hulk to continue beating...

Sauber has always been linked to Ferrari and the Hulk has been a candidate for Massa's seat (rumours not denied by Ferrari, IIRC). Maybe Luca thought he was a bit unexperienced for a Ferrari seat right now and they want to monitor him at Sauber? This is the path that Massa followed before joining t...

BUT ANYWAY!! More Honesty Though I am a Massa fan I will not be turned off F1 if Hulkenberg takes his place and he bows out. Felipe isn't the driver he was though I will support him right to the bitter end. I used to hate Jenson but I saw later on that it was due to ITVs biased coverage and that he ...

If Alonso had stayed at Mclaren then it would only delay the inevitable. Either Alonso or Hamilton would have walked away with a tempting offer from another team at some point as both personalities would not co-exist. Also consider that in 2008 if Alonso had stayed then OK they would have had a grea...

Oh I've done well here! Correct picks for P1, P3, P6, P7, and P8. One off for P9 and some good points for Button too. 155 points by my guess. A podium perhaps?

Massa: to make my day
Vettel: for the championship
Grosjean: to get a new winner.

Wouldn't be surprised if it was Caterham. Petrovs manager was moaning that they weren't interested enough in him a while ago.

If it is Sauber though then it surely means Perez is moving up. You wouldn't take a risk replacing a reliable Kamui with a (relative) unknown in Algersuari.

The only drivers to win at Cataluya not from pole position? Can't be. Schu won in 1996 from 3rd grid position. Whoops! Actually a derp on my part there. My research showed a Schumi pole in 1996. So Schumacher should be included too. Yes only on 5 occasions has the winner of the Spanish Grand Prix n...

It has nothing to do with any other event that season. Only these four drivers have achieved this feat at this circuit. Which is amazing when you think about it!

Ok guys final hint.

The years in which this feat was achieved: 1991, 1994, 2000 and 2011.

Australia: Maldonado doesnt leave Grosjean enough space on the outside. He goes to the kerbs on the exit was Romain supposed to go on the grass? Compare that to Alonso and Rosberg side by side there, plenty of room was left on the outside. Malaysia: Probably Grosjeans fault though camera angles have...

I think Buttons best form is better than Webbers best form.
However Webbers form on a bad day is better than Button on a bad day.
