Qualifying set for 14:30 US time and 19:30 UK time. If it does take place remember to avoid all news reports before the GP highlights unless you DO want to know the result,
They say it's looking quite hopeful.

I think it will probably early qualifying in the morning, weather permitting
It's certainly looking like that
From the live text page:-
"We started this live text commentary 88 minutes ago, and the only thing we've been able to talk about is rain and Daniel Ricciardo's jeans.
The TV to my right is showing Strictly Come Dancing... I'm so starved of action I'm tempted to describe Ainsley Harriott's jive."

PMSL! Charlie Whiting is now going out in a jeep. Surely he doesn't need to do that to know that it's raining
More from the live text page:-
Speaking of dancing...
The engineers have resorted to entertaining themselves now.
One chap from Force India starts banging out some sick break dance moves.
We've really reached the depths of F1 qualifying boredom now.

and he surely knows a jeep is going to get around better than a racing car 
They've just shown you the two Red Bull drivers dancing Strictly style

Lewis's hair looked normal under his cap, unless his roots are coming though
Charlie Whiting saying he's not calling it off yet if it doesn't get any better and will give it another 2 hours if necessary

I switched the sound down once they announced that

. . . and Aled Jones 
What's going on? Everyone's lost the plot. Daniel Ricciardo and Daniil Kvyat are out in the pit-lane dancing together. Is it a waltz? I'm not one for dance genres.
This is getting silly
We are 70 minutes past the original qualifying start time. It's still heaving it down. There are men in yellow cagoule pumping water off the track. Grown men are canoeing in a bucket on wheels down a pit-lane.
Surely, SURELY, it's time to admit defeat. There is no shame in quitting.
Qualifying delayed... again
It's been delayed by another 30 minutes, pushing us back to 21:00 BST by my calculations.
Tell my wife and daughter I love them, I fear I will never see them again.
Qualifying delayed until 21:30 BST
Of course it is. Bernie's just having a laugh now.
Qualifying deadline of 22:00 BST
There's a little bit of good news. But it's mainly bad news.
The geniuses in Austin are saying if there is no break in the weather by 22:00 BST, qualifying will be abandoned and we will try again at 14:00 GMT on Sunday.
We have 45 minutes of this madness remaining. I may have to start eating my own arm to survive.
21:25
I have a terrible, awful feeling that at 21:55 BST the rain will stop and they'll start uncovering the tyres.

they still have to wait 30 minutes for the track to drain...don't think it's gonna happen
