come on...!!!!

SC will come in and they will all dive in for inters.

Why did he stop? Engine or went off?

Cue several more laps behind the SC as the FIA are too scared of adverse conditions and wasting the only opportunity to let the cars actually race before it starts coming down again.

Goes without saying it will be out too long. They'll be ready to change to slicks when it comes it.

Could be half points anyway, borderline 40 laps until sunset.

Well looks like we are going to get a race... didn't expect that.

Car appeared to just turn off. Dash went blank and everything died.

How close can Hamilton get behind Rosberg while the SC is on? Is he allowed to breathe down his neck ready to overtake?

Greboth · 5 Oct 2014 at 07:36

Ffs get the safety car in, drivers reporting track is fine so probably another 20 laps under SC.

englishpremier · 5 Oct 2014 at 07:36

All the drivers are saying it's fine, but will Charlie listen? Nope because he's a scared old man. Time for him to be replaced now. I've seen loads and loads of races in worse weather than this.

Vettel still a whiny little so and so though.

Glaucus · 5 Oct 2014 at 07:36

The idea is to keep SC out so long, it rains again.

Yep, think he can even be along side him, but nico would just brake and make him overtake and get a penalty.

FFS Charlie! Start the damn race, safety gone mad.

GET ON WTH IT!

Skeeter · 5 Oct 2014 at 07:37

Drivers directly addressing Charlie now. :rolleyes:

He can get right up under his front wing. He can be almost completely alongside, just as long as Rosberg crosses the safety car line first. After that, it's fair game.

Lewis moaning directly to Charlie. Ha.

413x · 5 Oct 2014 at 07:38

Come on. Get this going

friddela · 5 Oct 2014 at 07:38

Well, this is stupid. First lap racing in for inters!

413x · 5 Oct 2014 at 07:39

Seriously what is the point in wet tyres at all

Psycho Ned · 5 Oct 2014 at 07:40

Might as well call the full wets safety car tyres as that's the only time they ever get used.
