Mandated 2 minute pitstop to add mud guards?
Edit: Being deadly serious, yeah it'll add so much drag but imagine the reduction in spray.

They've been testing things like that but not especially successfully yet I don't think.

If they new heavy rain was coming, why start the 3 hour timer...

The amount of rain...

We might get an hour of racing eventually

 

[Jimbeam3678]

Drainage, how heavy the rain is.

Optimistic.

Not going to waste my day on this much longer

Did Oscar’s engineer just say it’s a 40 minute delay minimum?!?

 

[chrismscotland]

So when is Liberty media going to get someone to design the first F1 track with a roof so they can run at any point of the year?

Don't give Saudi Arabia any ideas

Completely different type of track and other variables as well.

Another classic rainy modern F1 race.

I watched MotorGP the other week in the rain, chucking it down style, was fun to watch…..

This is gonna be rubbish isn’t it.

Motor Bike is far more dangerous compared to F1 as well which just sums up how over the top they have gone now in F1.

We will in time get a race and it will end up like the Sprint a complete bore

That tractor with the hairdryer attachment that's going round, they need at least a dozen of those.

 

[el_dazza]

Great, we get to know what Leclerc has for a meal pre race.. I'm off to play GT7.

 

[Flibster]

Mmmm... soggy cold chips with mayo.

And they say British food is bad.
