Would be nice to see them be able to get to 75% so full points can be awarded, but I dont think they can.. just too risky right now..

I think your kinda underestimating just how much water is on track. You could see it in a few places probably an inch deep running along like a river.
A normal road car would be struggling, a formula one car just will not get around.

AUS 91 sure the race was stopped but they carried on racing at one point there was atleast 2-3inchs of water at some corners

I think they need to throw a tow-rope from car to car, and drag them around.

They're not going to have time within the 2 hours to get another 12 laps in unless it dries out instantly and they don't wait 10 mins

There isn't enough time to run to 75% distance - if the clock's still running.

12 laps at 2mins per lap at best = 24 minutes, with a 10 minute start notice period gives them only 14 minutes. Game over.

Another decision someone needs fired for. Its far too late!
What the **** were they thinking? Even 1 hour earlier would have worked better.

You would be better off in a Diesel Range Rover with a snorkel fitted.

Looks like a possible restart

PinkFloyd · 5 Apr 2009 at 11:38

What the hell? :s

ahh nm

Emlyn_Dewar · 5 Apr 2009 at 11:38

What? Minute and half earlier start? Confusion...

Glaucus · 5 Apr 2009 at 11:38

what that's stupid. lapped cars to 2 start 1min30 before the rest. what **** is that about.

This unlapping under a SC is stupid. they were a lap down, why should they get a 1:30 bonus.

Ceryndrion · 5 Apr 2009 at 11:38

lets them unlap themselves cuz they all suck
