Is it me or did they use to race in these sorts of conditions? I know this is rather biblical but it feels anything more than a shower they panic
Wet racing is so much more exciting

Wet racing is so much more exciting
Frustrating as United are on at 2, if it does start it'll be right during the match.
Think I might have to stick f1 on record and avoid spoilers. No doubt there will be plenty of crashes/safety cars anyway. Annoying.

Oh please not a safety car start.
Wasn't that bad. It rained much more yesterday.
Ive got both f1 and footy on record. Will get kid off to bed pronto at 6pm so i can have a evening of sport to myself.
No idea but whatever it is the FIA will get it wrong, it will either end up extremely harsh or extremely lenient.
If the budget cap doesn’t lead to significant penalties then don’t have one.
Why couldn't they do a formation lap straight from the garage, then do a normal start? If needed add an extra formation lap?
They go straight from the garage in qualifying
The crowd cheering the SC

The quote from Alfa in that article stands out to the difference it would make "Alfa Romeo team boss Fred Vasseur told the German publication: “We only have 2.4 million to develop our car during the year.”"
Rain has stopped here at the circuit
Just get on with it
We lost 4-1 and the F1 was rained off so get a movie lined up.
Shame they can't race through the city
Going to have to have United on the iPad, F1 on the TV though by the time they finally get on with it the Football will probably be over
Is there more rain coming? Surely the longer they faff the more likely the next wave is to hit mid race
Just get on with it with wet tyres

Looks like it's drying up now, surely there shouldn't be so much of a delay
So the 3 hour clock is ticking but they still want to feck about with a 30 minute race start procedure, F1 lacks common sense.
So 2:05pm race start now
I will come back and requote you when this actually happens and you didnt put a bet on it.
Ah shite I thought Utd were on at 4.30 for some reason. How annoying.
Fake or real what do we think?
this starting the race clock business seriously needs to feck off.
It's such a stupid limitation. We lose an hour of the race just because of a regulation
Yep they did. Saftey gone mad.
An hour to dry the track! Watered down sport.
It's not even that bad. They should literally stop racing in wet and that's it.
I think they are real
Especially as its a night race and theres no daylight to lose where it becomes too dark to race.
No chance
This one hour delay is frankly ridiculous
What's happening? My hotstar stream isn't starting. Race delayed?
An hour for start procedures is absolute bs when they also seem to have to impose this time limit as well. Brainless.
Why does racing have to finish at 11pm? It's a fecking night race.

There was a jiggle there
Racings gone
Surely the 3 hours should start from the moment they do the start procession.
Why has it already started when they haven't done that yet? it's just bonkers.
I love f1 but it doesn't help itself sometimes.

Bono my racing’s gone.
About race seat next year, Ocon Gasly potentially at Alpine next year, what could go wrong aye?
Only just put this on, and won't be watching it for obvious reasons - but they're not lining up another Spa 2021 farce are they?
Am I wrong in thinking F1 has gone a bit too far when it comes to wet starts lately? Feels like they used to let them race more, but could be recency bias.
I mean what's the point of having the best drivers in the world and wet tires?

Good test for ocon and gasly, as i dont think ocon is anything other than mediocre f1 driver.About race seat next year, Ocon Gasly potentially at Alpine next year, what could go wrong aye?
Piastri v Norris is going to be the one to watch next year.
One hour delay... Is it really that wet? But I suppose it is a tricky and potentially dangerous track. Now I have to make a choice what to watch - F1 or football.
Probably, just give max the win as even though hes starting 8th? 9th? He'll have over taken everyone by the end of the first lap.
