Christ, they’re talking about adding mud guards now.

Race back on in 10 mins - how many laps do we run behind the safety car?

 

[chrismscotland]

The time limit is ridiculous, should be up to the race director on the day to set the time limit if there's still enough light

22, run the time down

45 min race, what a farce.

Stop complaining -what would you do to circumnavigate the lack of visibility/safety issue?

-> Aim air blowers at the sky to push the clouds along quicker

Is the rain different today than it was 20 years ago? So many great races in the past were in the wet.

Visibility is incredibly low, nobody is denying that, but the bad conditions separated the men from the boys.

I would have rathered the race be called or started an hour ago.

So this has now become a sprint race...

The current approach to not racing in the rain means we’ll never really ever get a 2008 Hamilton at Silverstone style again.

It’s a huge shame, totally get the safety side but it’s not like these are old biddies driving on a country road in the rain for the first time.

Australia 1991 - look that up !
Monaco 1984 too

The rain has been stopping races for a long time - it’s nothing new.
Yes its annoying, we all want racing, but pointless if it’s undrivable

 

[utajoker]

Going to say they circle behind the safety car for so long that they all immediately pit for inters

Rumours that Russell is chatting with his engineer about starting on slicks.

And when it all went wrong it probably try and blame someone else

Dry Safety Car: Team radio: why is the SC going so slow

Wet Safety Car: Team radio: why is the SC going so fast

 

[Stu999]

Let’s go on a procession!

Hope the people in the Paddock Club seats are ok?

Edit - have they not got heated visors? Max looked a bit steamed up.

 

[el_dazza]

Spray is too much. This isn't going to go ahead I think.

 

[el_dazza]

We're going racing!

 

[UTmaniac]

Go go go!

 

[antijoke]

how about if its a wet race they all drive safety cars

I like the idea of this

 

[utajoker]

That release was fine. Prob half a second between their releases

 

[MooMoo444]

They immediately swap to inters. This is why they shouldn’t wait so long to start.

 

[el_dazza]

Could be a smart move from those staying out on wets!
