Or perhaps the sneaky leaky valves for the adjustable suspension failed and Vettels' been catapulted into space
That would make a great pic' for a caption comp'.

it's ominous there's definate camber angle on those wheels, nice to see virgin have some competition in the space race

Thing about starting the race as late as they did last year and this year just a wee bit earlier is that rain is not only far more likely, it is heavier and the track doesn't have a chance to dry out. A normal 1pm start allows in the event of rain plenty of heat and the track will dry that much faster.

Of course if you want wet races then fair enough...

OK, this is what I've got for races stopped before the full distance.

1974 Spain was wet
1985 Portugal was wet
1989 Australia was wet
1975, 1996, 1997, 2008 Monaco was wet

and of course Malaysia last year!!

Acutally, I've missed all the red flag stops out of that list.
