I don't think we will get started at all bar behind the SC. What happens if that happens?

Stupid question but why can't they put lights into the corners like lane lights on a motorway?

Thank you Verstappen let's have some racing

It’s all well and good saying Max can race but it’s not safe behind others, F1 cars could race in this yes but is it safe? No.

These conditions are where drivers get hurt, it’s not a day for risk.

Max is OK on pole, no cars in front if him, clearly it's not safe further down the grid.
Max FFS use some common sense.
He can only say how it is from his perspective, he doesn’t know how much the guys behind him can see.

They have safety. The drivers are nearly indestructible in those cars.
I just really hate SC starts. It takes away such an important part of a race
Car safety is not infallible.
All but the car in first position couldn't even see the car in front.

I also think SC starts are bad, also I think modern F1 can be a little "soft".

But I agree with this particular delay. Conditions are terrible.

Yeah the formation lap showed how bad it actually was.

At this stage I'd be delighted with any kind of start
