RBR not doing well, accuse other teams of cheating. Seems pretty standard.

Yeah, I’m surprised they want to be throwing stones with their recent cost cap issues, deals with the FIA etc. Haha!

I really hope that tomorrow isnt as wet... inters weather would be great as I have an F1 league race tomorrow evening, we even voted to delay by 30mins and it's cutting close as it is

Well the TV heli is up, so hopefully the conditions around the Hospital are good enough for the medical heli to fly.

get the heli to fly around the circuit low to try and get the rotors to dry the track

Wish they had a different wet weather qualifying format, with less cars on track at any one time.

Don't say that too loudly, the pilot of that thing is insane enough to do it.

Race control - Estimated time of Qualifying start - 16:30

Probably gonna have the cars queuing up on inters by the time this gets going. Even the FIA know the full wets are ****.

Massa was champion for 15 seconds :cry:

Flibster · 2024-11-02T19:11:55+0000

Massa was champion for 38.907 seconds. That's how far Hamilton was behind Massa at the end of the race.

On a sprint weekend they use the FP1 times if they can't do qualifying.

Lando finished P1, Max finished P15. Basically last with his 5 place penalty!

AlphariusOmegan · 2024-11-02T19:13:31+0000

just get all the drivers into 1 big hand of poker

That would be delicious.

This is where Toto would sit if he was here, but he isn't so we've sold his chair

el_dazza · 2024-11-02T19:23:08+0000

7.45 estimated now. Just give up and admit it won't happen.

They need 1 hour. Sunset is officially at 18:21 local time. So being conservative, they need to start at the top of the hour really, and even then it may be getting dark towards the end of Q3.

Even then I doubt they would get through the hour without incident. F1 probably know this and I can see this taking place tomorrow.
