If anyone is watching MotoGP qually it's absolutely hammering it down now. If that was F1 it'd be red flagged.

In MotoGP they can just go slower, an F1 car simply stops working properly below a certain speed.

Ugh red flagging so ****ing sad. Grow a pair and drive

CaptainRAVE · 7 Jul 2012 at 13:36

Red flagged. Rubbish. Massa nearly went into alonso!

Skeeter · 7 Jul 2012 at 13:36

So the clock stops and we will now sit and wait for 3 hours until its bone dry and they all go out on slicks.... :rolleyes:

mmj_uk · 7 Jul 2012 at 13:36

So what happens if it lashes it down for the next 3 hours?

Purdy · 7 Jul 2012 at 13:36

Pussys.

This, what a joke. Get on with it already.

Change car rules and ***** race. Lift the car height for wet, or even lift minimum height for all races if needed.
:mad:

No, don't red flag it. Wimps.

Agreed there is no need to red flag it. Just go slower. If it's too slippery for you, don't set a time. Someone else will go out and set P1.

Edit: F1 flagged.

Still no red flag in MotoGP. :-)

No amount of balls stop F1 cars floating...

I remember being in a Mazda race car out these in this weather and I **** myself. In an F1 car I can't imagine how bad it is, such a slippy race track in the west.

Red flag? really? Just tuned into MotoGP & it looks worse there & they only have 2 wheels!

Cosimo · 7 Jul 2012 at 13:37

I glad to be watching this somewhere warm and dry. What a lottery.

Now we wait

Exactly this - doesn't look like the rain is going to stop either.

So what now, they wait until dry tyre conditions as usual?

This is awesome, cars losing control all over the place.

What we really need is for the finger and Alonso to crash or skid out in Q3

But there bikes aren't cms off the floor. The problem is with the rules. The entire car aqua planes as they are too low. I ts not the first time we've had wet races, there's usually several a season. The rules need changing.
