Poll: Singapore Grand Prix 2022, Marina Bay Street Circuit - Race 17

[Concrete]

Wet conditions really show which drivers are flattered by their cars, but it feels like ever since Bianchi's horrible horrible death they are afraid of rain and do everything they can to mitigate against it.

 

[Mr Jack]

No race for a hour still is so excessive. I genuinely wonder why they bring full wets to races.

Problem is that they delayed the whole start procedure. So they have to go through each pre-race step first.

 

[Tigget]

Don’t see any issue with the track, pretty ridiculous to not be racing. Would have made for a fun spectacle, especially with the mixed up grid.

 

[Stumble Bum]

Stupid decision, why even make the call so early if you're planning to delay it that long, just keep checking on the conditions. The stupid side of F1.

 

[Psycho Ned]

3 things guaranteed in life, death, taxes and F1 making a total Horlicks of a wet race starting.

 

[Flibster]

Looking unlikely that we're going to get a full race distance. Shortest race we've ever had around here was in 2018 - 1hr 51

That was a dry race as well iirc.

 

[steve45]

Yeah... I'm not hanging about the entire afternoon for this to start, what a farce this "sport" is.

 

[muon]

When was the last time the grid was setup under umbrellas?

 

[MooMoo444]

When was the last time the grid was setup under umbrellas?

July 1955 I believe.

 

[muon]

July 1955 I believe.

Nah I definitely remember it happening loads in the 90s and 2000s. Question is what changed.

 

[muon]

I didn't actually realise until 2017 that wet starts were removed.

Also so the 3 hour clock didn't start. Which it shouldn't have, so why were people saying nonsense before.

 

[Stumble Bum]

I don't understand the point of the 3 hour clock rule. Just seems ridiculous to potentially end a race early, especially a floodlit night race.

 

[Psycho Ned]

Grid looks bone dry lol

 

[Feek]

He speaks! I’ve never heard Bernd talk before.

 

[Flibster]

Oh god... I agreed with di Resta. (regarding a standing start in those conditions)

I feel dirty...

 

[GodAtum]

Right so we will get a full 3 hours. Are there any noise rules past a certain time?

 

[MooMoo444]

They’re coming out on inters, what a shocker.

 

[Jimbeam3678]

As I have said before, F1, sometimes makes itself difficult to like. Meant to be the best drivers in world ..

 

[Psycho Ned]

If they'd have started now we'd have a nice tasty start.

As it is it'll be inters for all and probably slicks in about 10 laps!

 

[azazl187]

So then. If Redbull have indeed overspent last season does the title rightfully end up going to Hamilton after all?

They need to get this race going
