Looking at the weather forecast, how are they going to run this tomorrow at all? It's going to be horribly wet all day it seems.

Like @Flibster, I'm one of the saddos who reads the full sporting regulations each year and I don't think there's anything to cope in this situation. Someone's going to have to make a tricky decision soon.

Next years regs state Championship standings.

Belgium 2023 (that was a sprint race event) they said they would use Championship standings if they couldn't hold Quali.

It's kind of the obvious choice. It's pretty much the stabilised performance of the cars over the year.

Race control - Start of qualifying is postponed

See you all tomorrow.

Autosport popped up on my FB saying that if they can’t run quali today or tomorrow then they use FP1 standings.. Which would mean Max starts P20 after his engine penalty..

Edit: https://www.facebook.com/share/fj77xKwi9menC4QU/?mibextid=WC7FNe no idea how much truth there is to that.

Read a few articles, and rang from championship order to FP1 times….

I want to say I believe the former is what they do…

For normal race weekends, they use the last completed practice session.

For Sprint races, if no quali then FP1 session is used.

For sprint race weekends and no full race quali... No rules in place.

I say use the sprint quali results, in reverse That would be entertaining.

 

[AlphariusOmegan]

using FP1 is unfair as people were running different run plans, Lewis didn't run softs at all

Reverse championship order? Bottas on pole!

People may have been running aero rigs and so on.

What if there was a junior driver replacing one of the championship contenders?

I'm all for that too.

 

[.:MBK:.]

[AlphariusOmegan]

LOL Lewis telling Stefano give us better wet tyres
