Yeah.. we had so many spinners but they all did not suffer terminal damage. (except Guttierez) They all seemed to make contact with the wall and only lose their front wing.. Also what about Hamilton.. so so close to beaching the Merc and not making it out of Q1.

I noticed that every driver who went off had a quite bit of luck because all hit the barrier only with the nosecone (except for Lewis of course).
I'm not quite sure with Gutierrez but I couldn't see any damage to the suspension.
Gutierrez was just a little off from where Massa hit. It didn't look so serious (after seeing Massa do the same and drive away), so it might've been something more serious or he just turned it off since there was less than a minute left to go and wouldn't have been able to do anything anyways.

Ok, I knew that commentators on my domestic channel are making me 
So yesterday they were amazed that Marussia is faster than Caterham althought they DON"T HAVE KERS. Did I miss something? Marussia should have KERS this season, right?

Yep, they learnt how to build them like codemasters F1 cars now.
be there or be square!
Too bad that q2 and 3 are postponed.
I think when they continued the qualifications Mercedes, ferrari and mclaren had most chance of taking the front rows.
Tomorrow it will be dry and looking at the fp's red bull is fast on a dry track.

I actually think that RB and Merc looked best in the wet. Ferrari was a little bit behind. Probably because of some lack of rear traction like in Barca.
But on Inters ferrari had the second fastest time.
So with a little but of rain in q2 and 3 they can qualify on the front

Good day at Albert Park today! Cold and wet, but I've never seen it rain like this at a GP before so it was really interesting. Qualifying resumes at 11 tomorrow
Looking at the body language of the cars through turn 2 in practise and 3 in quali, its really clear that the Merc, Red Bull and Lotus are absolutely glued to the road, so if I had to guess the winner would most likely come out of one of them. You can rule out Caterham for a good finish, car is way too oversteery and this is obviously accentuated by the wet conditions.
Hopefully either Kimi, Hamilton or Riccardo take the win. Looking forward to tomorrow!

Cheers for sharing the pic, would love to see more if you can get more tomorrow?Good day at Albert Park today! Cold and wet, but I've never seen it rain like this at a GP before so it was really interesting. Qualifying resumes at 11 tomorrow

Did you get wet much?
of course they postponed it, they want Vettel on pole, even Horner agrees with the decisions...why pay drivers this much if they cant handle this amount of rain...have they forgotten Fuji 2007?
Will do Dan. Got some more from today on my phone and will take some tomorrow as well.
Didnt get too wet as we packed plastic ponchos (no idea how you spell that), but it got really cold during qualifying. I think it caught everyone off guard because the weather has been consistently over 30 degrees for like 3 weeks and all of a sudden it's like winter!

Pretty funny reading some comments here lol.
Well, Vitaly Petrov brought some money for Caterham (and he was fired, ugh), but it seems that Marussia without that money did more, much more progress than Green Crocodiles. At least, Garde's crashy driving style and Pic's 107% rule failure speaks at itself. In 2012, CTs was more faster than MRs in rain... that's quite interesting and tragic at some point. Will watch at the end of grid.
And - good luck to Lewis and Nico. I wanna see AWESOME factory team in this year, real Mercedes.
