Raining again according to Natalie Pinkham on Sky, no umbrollies up though

 

[hudson86]

Christ can we ban Rosberg from the paddock again please.

Looking dry for Qualifying though, hope it rains tomorrow

Do we get more Rosberg now Herbert has gone ? Please no.

 

[el_dazza]

This could be fun

 

[el_dazza]

Rain on the way George says, woo

 

[.:MBK:.]

bit eager on the red flag there

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Red flag... Ffs. It isn't the weather conditions to be messing about like this. Pathetic.

 

[el_dazza]

Cars off everywhere

 

[Mr Jack]

Rather over-enthusiastic with the flag there. Hopefully some rain can fall whilst they sit around.

 

[Mad_Jay]

Absolute panic attack of a Red Flag there, could use it to rain now for a bit more chaos.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Nearly every red flag we see in this entertainment show is something that could be handled differently.

Edit: This is absolutely not how qualifying should be decided. I hope track conditions don't worsen whilst they are sitting there.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Whoever was responsible for warning Gasly about approaching fast lap cars needs to give their head a shake.

 

[Flibster]

Huh.... F1 making the Indy restarts look competent. Dear god....

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Leclerc absolutely not needing the weigh-bridge delay just now.

 

[el_dazza]

Leclerc 19th

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Terrible weekend for Leclerc. Very close for Perez too. Need to up their game.

 

[Mr Jack]

Wow, Leclerc! And Checo a lucky boy there.

I'm assuming this is to do with Steiner saying that "We still have some laymen deciding on the fate of people who invest millions in their careers."

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

I'd read that he was going to be getting shouted at on motorsport.com.
He's right though. If they don't want people saying this, then they need to do better. Some of the decisions made in F1 are comical at best.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Perez... At this stage it'd be more useful having Tsunoda in that seat.

Edit: Wow, hadn't noticed that bit of contact between Hamilton and Russell. His car also looked like it had some damage on the headrest area.

 

[el_dazza]

Perez and Russell out, what is going on!
