I don't get it. Why not delay the race start. This sucks, I feel bad for the fans who are there.

The stewards and race director really need to be held to account after this weekend.

Need one of these at every track to suck up the water

C'mon 4 laps under safety car.
They are going to pit for dry tyres almost.

They care about the drivers.

Nothing matters more.

Maybe Charlie is on the loo or something

So Hamilton gets inters first, Rosberg is ****ed

red_alert · Post by **red_alert** » Sun Jul 10, 2016 12:12 pm

This is really embarrassing for F1

HS Thompson · Post by **HS Thompson** » Sun Jul 10, 2016 12:12 pm

Still far too much water on the track. Impossible to start the race now.

UnlikeUday · Post by **UnlikeUday** » Sun Jul 10, 2016 12:13 pm

SC in this lap!!!!!

Hamilton will have to warm those inters off. First lap is often slower.

I doubt Charlie is reading

jimmyj · Post by **jimmyj** » Sun Jul 10, 2016 12:14 pm

So ultimately will they change F1 so they don't race in the wet? Speculation on my part of course but this compromise doesn't seem to be very good.

ALESI · Post by **ALESI** » Sun Jul 10, 2016 12:14 pm

Oooh Lewis nearly hit the MERC!

There's a difference between caring for drivers and going too far. Drivers themselves said it wasn't too far from inters on lap 2, so surely wets are adequate. It's a joke to have the SC out and then the drivers pit for inters or dries straight after. If they are going to do that, save money and don't bring wet tyres, sorry, SC tyres to the races anymore

F1_Ernie · Post by **F1_Ernie** » Sun Jul 10, 2016 12:14 pm

F1 is a joke, so many people pitted

half the guys gone into pits

Lots of pit stops.

Half the grid in for inters, what a joke.

flyboy10 · Post by **flyboy10** » Sun Jul 10, 2016 12:15 pm

I think Mercedes have secretly imposed a team orders 1-2 finish already for this race.

jimmyj · Post by **jimmyj** » Sun Jul 10, 2016 12:15 pm

Melee in pit lane!

Rosberg looks shaky

mikey · Post by **mikey** » Sun Jul 10, 2016 12:15 pm

Laughable from F1 which is rapidly becoming the norm.
