Russell radio - I'm on ice here.

 

[Stu999]

That’s not inter conditions yet.

Edit - Bottas might prove me wrong.

Edit 2 - he didn’t.

 

[Scam]

That helmet cam is mental in the wet

Worth watching for all the folks that just say “get them out in this thunderstorm, what a bunch of wusses”

so Perez 4th currently, is he a master of the wet oooor is it just that he's as fast as usual and the wet conditions have just brought everyone else down to his level.

I guess the stewards don’t go any easier on track limits just because it’s wet?

Really hard to see how they solve the wet problem - the window between "too wet to run, too much spray, not enough grip" and "the inters are maybe a bit faster here" seems ridiculously small.

 

[Flibster]

Bearman radio - The wet is, the wet is terrible. It's overheating. I know it doesn't look like it, but it's overheating.

 

[AlphariusOmegan]

intersting the medical car was deployed, the damage to barrier and car doesn't appear enough to have tripped the G-force tag maybe it was the lateral force

​

Also this would be a hilarious race grid if they cancel the rest of quali

 

[Mr Jack]

Mercedes are struggling here.

 

[Kelt]

Ray tracing looks great in this.

Hamilton just on the radio:
