00:00quite frankly, but it is absolutely superb, and we might attempt it on Saturday.
00:04Yeah, I hope it'll be a little bit warmer by that stage as well, but yeah, back to the
00:09cold conditions here today, seeing some of the drivers running different systems to try
00:15and stop the misting up on their visors.
00:17I've seen Piquet Jr. now having like a shrouding around his nose to cover the air going onto
00:22the visor.
00:24I've literally just suffered a bit of bad breath this morning, I don't know.
00:27But also, Kimi Raikkonen's using some kind of electronic system, it seems, so they've
00:31just been wiring up to the top of his visor, a bit like a heated screen in a road car,
00:36so
00:36two interesting differences for the drivers there, and just, again, reiterating how cold
00:43it is here.
00:43And you can see the black clouds if you're watching via the Red Barton Service or online
00:48at the moment, they're hovering around it.
00:49We're going to get rain today.
00:51We already had just a little bit of rain first thing this morning.
00:54Is it the colder it gets, the more problem you have with your visors listing up or that?
00:59Yes, normally it is the colder it gets, and especially in the rain as well, that can be
01:03a big problem.
01:05But to be honest, when you start getting quicker, like the drivers will do later, we've just
01:09seen a spot of rain on the camera riding on board with Sebastian Buemi coming into the
01:13final chicane.
01:14So the teams are going to have to get out of there pretty sharpish to get the dry laps
01:18in, but it might be a bit too late now because the rain is coming down heavier and heavier,
01:22and that dark cloud we did see is starting to open up as Sebastian Buemi opens up his lap,
01:28sorry to go fastest, with a 1 minute 43, and hits that big bump coming into Turn 1.
01:34You can really see, if you're riding on board now, going into Turn 1, how.
