It has to. It should come in at the end of the first lap - although we all know that won't happen.

Maybe if we are lucky, we might see Perez get the lead, then the race stops again, and he ends up winning the race.

Anyone want to make a prediction what position Karthikeyan will be when the safety car goes in and we get back to racing?

Ha, a couple days ago, Karthikeyan was on everyone's "not deserving an F1 drive" list. And he's dropped to eleventh now... Also, Vergne's on inters right? He could be in the lead!!!

Karthikeyan is still 10th. Safety car is on, so no overtaking. Vergne changed to full wets. They were forced to do it by race control.
