Rain in Brazil - Saturday
Oct. 17th, 2009 08:22 pm20:15: Great, so RTL just stopped broadcasting the qualifying. I'll have to switch to Motorsport-total's live ticker. But Vettel is definitely out and if the don't restart Jenson should be 6th with Rubens 5th, right?
By the way, I've been feeling so much better all day after reading and listening to quite some interviews with Ross and Jenson (and Rubens). They all seemed so optimistic and in such a good mood that made it hard to be nervous about this weekend. :-)
20:26: So, new decision in about 4 minutes. It's so weird not to be able to watch what's hapenning.
20:34: And another 10 minutes before they check the track again. This is getting ridiculous. And why doesn't that live ticker update itself. *sighs*
20:40: Awwww:

((c) Rubens, clickable)
20:48: And... another 10 minutes.
21:05: So, after all, restart in five minutes. *keeps fingers crossed for Jenson*
21:24: No! 14th? What is it with Jenson and Q2 lately? Why can he drive fast laps in Q1 and suddenly can't in Q2. *hangs head* It wouldn't be that bad if Rubens hadn't just made it. Gah!
21:27 He was almost a second slower than Rubens!? What the hell?
21:41 See that? That's my good mode leaving. Now Jenson needs a miracle if he want to win the championship tomorrow. How can he be 14th if the car is good enough for pole. This just can't be true. :-(
At least Mark tried to do the job we gave him.
...
5:47 Can't sleep, so I decided to look up the weights. At least Rubens has the lightest car on the grid. Mark's looking really good and Jenson will be able to stay out about 11 laps longer than his team mate. And he's hoping for dry weather. Well, I was thinking rain might be better under those circumstances but let's hope for dry conditions then. Maybe Jenson's anger and frustration will help him tonight. For this race, he's the one with nothing to lose now. It can still work out but it's going to be really difficult. Jenson needs to drive the race of his lifetime and he probably still has to hope for something to go wrong for Rubens or at least everything to go right for Mark (and maybe one or two more of the guys right behind Rubens). Otherwise there won't be a championship decision today. And I really don't know how to make it through another two weeks of uncertainty. Not to mention the last race. Not with the way Jenson's season is going at the moment.
