So no coming back Monday.
Need one more lap for half points.

F1 2021 Season
- Thread starter pauldyson1uk
- Start date
The timer started but I assume it was from 2.25 rather than 2
I agree, not starting the race is correct.
Sure he could make an educated guess but I don’t see why the guy in front should report on what he thinks it’s like for the other drivers.
They 100% will put the cars out there for a few laps just to classify the race, good for Russell/Williams if they do.
We won’t see an actual race though which is a massive shame.

From what I heard it started at the time the race should have started.
Fair enough, he would know it though
The race had not started, the stewards said. But the race is 43 now laps not 44, so had started.
Clear as mud.
Did this 4H thing change to 3H?
So surely Perez is down a lap?
German Sky only mentioned 3h
Same as UK sky. But I always thought the full race clock was 4, not 3, hours. Clearly I’m wrong but am still confused
F1 and all it’s time rules is fecking ridiculous. Feel sorry for the fans in the rain that probably paid hundreds to get there and see it, even if we get a break in the weather they might see 30 minutes of racing because of some arbitrary rule.
If anything we may get a couple of laps, for half points.
Race didn’t start so he couldn’t be a lap down, it was 2 formation laps
Agree. Light I can understand but not this silly time thing
why start the clock, such bullshit.
It's not like they even started the race. Perez will get lucky if we start which I don't think we will
Letting Perez start is a strange one, but it will be from the pit lane.
Sky just shown the track, parts look like a river
This isn’t starting today
I think it might, but behind a SC , just to get half points.
So 39 laps?!
So confused.
I don’t think this race is going again sadly.

Give them hovercrafts and let them go at it.
Scrapheap challenge style, 30mins to make a hovercraft out of your car parts

Even worse rain incoming apparently, time to go find something else to do. United soon at least.
Why don't they just move it to tomorrow?
Am I the only one who thinks that 1 more lap for rules reasons would be a farce?
I'd understand any driver or team being keen on it, but to me it's not a race unless you... race.

Amazing work from the Red Bull garage, 1 hour to complete a 3 to 4 hour job
So basically they need to speed their pitstops up by 300%?
F1 does farce quite well though, it’s own rules tie itself in knots.
No Marshals.
I agree, one lap for half points would be a farce.
Huh? How so? They refuse to work on Mondays?
A few things make it a challenge albeit not impossible. Main ones:
Marshals - volunteers who will have work tomorrow since Belgium doesn’t have a bank holiday tomorrow, or other commitments.
Teams - with the next race being only next weekend, it actually takes a lot of time to pack up and move and set up at the next circuit. In effect if they race tomorrow they’d need to be ready by EOD Thursday in Netherlands for the race practice starting Friday.
marshall’s are volunteers and have normal day jobs
No they need to do their normal jobs, are the not volunteers
