The rain isn't slowing Kimi down, in fact it seems to have sped him up! 8)

What is particularly wierd is that everyone keeps telling us "when it rains in Brazil it really rains in Brazil!" And here it is doing a fine imitation of a British summmer! :roll:

The Honda seems to be dragging itself off the back row. 8) Fingers crossed for Rubens. He really deserves some luck here for a change. :roll:

The track is now visibly wet in sections. Massa is on the track on dry tyres while Kubica is on intermediates

Felipe isn't losing any time ar all, intermediates would appear to be an over reaction. :? Doesn't bode well. . .
