Yup, for pretty much the entire race. I wonder if they were expecting more time racing in the wet behind the SC and under fuelled, or as one of the commentators said, to reduce plank wear possibly.

Ferrari should try use the presets and strat guide in the F1 game - will probably work out better for them.
 
Both Ferraris have been having to lift and coast excessively in multiple races now, it's a fundamental problem with the car rather than anything specific to this weekend
 
If Lando doesn't win the WDC this year I really can't see him ever winning it. (He reminds me of Hill too many mistakes and only ended up Champ because of having best car plus other factors)

Oscar you can see will be a WDC even if it's not this year or at Mclaren (I believe he will win it this year everything about him is better then Norris)

I don’t think it was that bad.

Leclerc’s defense was great to watch.

Hamilton carving up the field in the wet was nice to see. Surprised no one else managed to make up a load of places.

Shame Lando didn’t bring the consistency he brought in Silverstone.
 
I was out this afternoon so watched this recorded. It was interesting for the first 20 or so laps of running, and then it dried out so I watched at 12x speed and nothing at all seemed to happen of any note. Think I picked a good weekend to miss.

Voted 6, but on reflection, possibly should have gone 5. :)
Initial good action, and seeing the strategy play out was ok. Did lack over takes though. Meh.
Glad to see Piastri win. I feel he deserved it and has been on the wrong side of luck lately.
 
Voted 1 because they should have started it much earlier, and as soon as the track went dry it was just a procession.

Why even bother having wet tyres? They never use them? Why wait until the track is almost dry to race? Even more absurd is that they had a rolling start too! These are the best drivers in the world getting paid millions of years. If you try and mitigate every risk, they may as well just not race at all.

Honestly, a terrible track in the dry. No once can do anything. The commentators wound me up too trying to make it sound Like Norris was going to catch Piastri. No chance.

No retirements either

Total ****

Especially when I lot of the teams added downforce for the rain. Also would’ve made the tyre strategy more interesting.

I generally find the sprints pretty useless but it worked well this weekend with a dry sprint and then an opportunity to change the car for a wet race.

Yeh. Totally agree with Max's assessment on this. Like he said, if they are going to do this, then why not just decide to not race in the wet at all.
