Davidson just spoke to Meylander and at the moment he is starting the race under SC.

just been said on beeb too. Why can't they ever let them race in the wet these days :mad:

They are far too rick adverse.

TBF it seems to be raining worse now so they have no choice, but previously it was easily good enough for a normal start.

how many laps behind SC before its half points?

Psycho Ned · 5 Oct 2014 at 06:52

Hmm not looking good at all now.

Suspect we might be in for a lot of nothing here as I expect it's unlikely to get much better.

Glaucus · 5 Oct 2014 at 06:53

Its going to be half points for no real laps isn't it.

Interview was 10 minutes old at the point it wasn't raining.

sorry whats half points?

Glaucus · 5 Oct 2014 at 06:54

Would rather zero racing which means no points, than SC and points.

Bleh, I've only just woken up

utajoker · 5 Oct 2014 at 06:55

who made that rule up?

spose they do 2 laps at start but go on for the full race.... for half points....

what a stupid rule.

If they don't do 75% race distance they only get half championship points, so winner would receive 12.5points instead of 25

To be awarded half points they need to complete just 2 laps and they can be behind SC.

Finners · 5 Oct 2014 at 06:56

Rain doesn't seem as bad as I've seen them race in in the past, hope with all the cars going round it dries abit and the FIA don't waste everyone's time and pull the pace car in early enough.

If they go on to do over 75% they'll get full points, the other end is the stupid rule.

?

Its not SC laps, its just laps. Under 2 laps is no points, 2 laps to 75% is half points and over 75% is full points. Doesn't matter how many of those are SC laps or not.

utajoker · 5 Oct 2014 at 06:57

looks like its raining hard now.

Gawd, first Mansell and now Brundle with the "these are the finest drivers in the world" line.

Utter twaddle.
