Surely they should just qualify in the wet?
F1 2021 Season
- Thread starter pauldyson1uk
- Start date
If it too wet , too dangerous, lots of standing water on the track.
Qualifying is delayed, not shocked to be honest.
There is no time on the delay.
Hope they don't let it dry out too much, its so much better when it's wet
Desperately hoping for a wet race, it makes so much more excitement, we finally get a wet race last time and look what happens

start time 14:12
looking at the safety car, it looks OK in places and not in others.
Get them out I say.

Mercs completely off the pace in the rain so far. Maybe their setup is geared towards dry weather = low downforce? What's the weather like tomorrow anyway?

Why did Hamilton break off that lap? He was on purple
middle sector was bad.56+ seconds
what a shite Q2 for Lewis and Bottas
Lewis and Bottas in for new inters, thats their 3 rd of 4 sets !!!
so Lewis and Bottas get thought, but by using more sets of inters than they wanted too.

Red Flag .
Nooooooooooooo! Hopefully he’s alright.
Feck. I was really rooting for Lando to get his first pole. Hope he's alright.

Oh no Norris
feck Norris.
Love to see that Vettel checking on him.

God that was a big one.
If you get Seb saying it is too wet , it is too wet, Seb is not one to pull out.
FIA should have red flagged it when he said, this time FIA cocked up.

Vettel is really likeable these days.
That was unnecessary, they shouldn’t have been out on the track.
The last couple seasons has really changed my perception of Vettel. I always liked him or at least was indifferent to a lot of the hate he used to receive, but he’s just been fantastic and classy in everything the last few years.
Massive rebuild job for the McLaren guys tonight
Lovely to see Vettel checking on Norris
Why would he have to start from the pit lane why can't he start 10th as he got into this section of qualifying?

I agree , Seb used to be very disliked, but now for me he is one of my fav drivers.
I nicknamed him The Finger, because I hated seeing it.
The engineering of these cars is insane. Despite that huge impact it stuck to the ground. That could have been a lot worse, as Brundle just set out the motion of the car fortunately had a lot of road to slow down before the second impact.
Yeah he’s matured into a top bloke, he’s one of the good guys.
Good question. Would also like to know. Perhaps something to do with the required repairs?
he is going to have to change many parts, gearbox for one I would think, that gets a penalty itself.
Is it just me or are the full wet tires worse now than 20 years ago
