Max: it really isn't that bad
Not shocked, it been suspended.
So the 2 hour countdown has not started yet .
So the 2 hour countdown has not started yet .
It’s all well and good saying Max can race but it’s not safe behind others, F1 cars could race in this yes but is it safe? No.
These conditions are where drivers get hurt, it’s not a day for risk.

Is there still a chance Perez can start?
So can Perez start the race if his car gets fixed
Max is OK on pole, no cars in front if him, clearly it's not safe further down the grid.
Max FFS use some common sense.

Have they not officially withdrawn him ?
Is there any scope to hold the race Monday ?
Sky Germany said they could, and it wouldn't be the first time either
Cheers. Can't find an F1 race held on a Monday.
I don't see this starting unfortunately
Alpine expecting persistent rain
He can only say how it is from his perspective, he doesn’t know how much the guys behind him can see.
Don't agree, he will know what it is like mid grid.
But I can see why he wants to race.
"it's not le mans" great radio message that
Car safety is not infallible.
All but the car in first position couldn't even see the car in front.
I also think SC starts are bad, also I think modern F1 can be a little "soft".
But I agree with this particular delay. Conditions are terrible.
Gunter has said the forecast is dire
When do they call this, not yet clearly, but there must come a time.

Again a Merc pushing him out of a corner
Is this getting any better? Turned it off for a bit
Yeah the formation lap showed how bad it actually was.
At this stage I'd be delighted with any kind of start
How complicated are the rules, if those that commentate on F1 ,can't understand them.
You are wrong. You are talking about speeds of 300+kph. Despite all the precautions you can't cheat physics. In certain conditions the pilot will experience a G load that is simply fatal. The only benefit from all the safety measures then would be that they will be whole when you take them out of the cockpit.
I don’t see how he would know that. The drivers are instructed to report what they are seeing and feeling themselves, not guess what the other drivers may or may not see.
Come he is experienced enought to know what it will be like.
OK so he gave his views from his point, I except that.
Wait till you watch football
Times has definetly changed. I have seen races in much worse contidion than this but I can understand the safety first.
I thought they used to race in these sorts of conditions too
It’s a bit of a conundrum because if they raced, there’d be a chance to clear some of the water. But to get there there is a lot of risk. And the fact Spa is such a long track, you might end up with a soaking track again by the time the cars are back around.
This is one of the wettest race days I can remember.
Maybe a Japan GP 96 I think was wetter and a Monaco race , both red flagged.
It wouldn’t take a rocket scientist, the over spray is going to be wild if you haven’t got a clean run infront.
gutted with this delay, probs will be called off now
Why? Think they're still discussing whether or not he can start
So the time window has started and Perez can start the race.
The timer is running so this is all pointless unless they get going soon (which they won’t).
It would've got red flagged after a big crash within 1-2 laps if they had started at race time.
Don't understand how Perez can start.
