So Austin did a pretty convincing imitation of Sepang, with Free Practice 2 cancelled due to torrential rain and lightning and too low ambient light levels to see.
Fortunately Free Practice 1 did kick off and with there never having been a wet running of the race, all the teams and drivers were out pounding out the laps with the exception of Pastor Maldonado, who suffered a gearbox issue on his Installation Lap and never went out again.
Weather for FP3 and Qualifying tomorrow looks somewhat poor, though not as bad as it was today. So for those DVRing, you might want to set some extra time at the end. Race day looks a fair bit better and even if it does rain, the circuit seems to drain and dry exceptionally quickly.
