Dry at the moment, but it does look a bit grey. That's my forecast from 15 miles away.

If only Donington had got its act together. There would have been no problems at all as everyone would have had to "park and ride" to the circuit

Button may be back on form this weekend.

McLaren have a new front wing and it looks like Button has got it set up better than Hamilton.

Both went out and did similar length stints and very similar times in practice, however Hamilton's front left looked in a real state whereas Button's looked in good Nick.

We don't know the fuel loads of course, but second fastest on a set of hards was quite encouraging.

Not one of my better predictions, although Button was desperately unlucky with the yellow flag on his final qualifying lap.

Still if the weather is the same tomorrow I'd say that all bets were off.

The Rain's just knocked out Sky F1. Having to resort to watching the BBC.

There is nothing wrong with BBC Dembo (apart from the fact they only have half the races )

Fortunately got Sky back just before the restart. It was a scary couple of minutes of Eddie Jordan and only SD.
