Here is how the Interlagos track looks this morning. Still wet but nowhere near as bad as yesterday.
F1 2024 Season
- Thread starter pauldyson1uk
- Start date
looks very driveable, lets hope there is no more heavy rain
Future generations will be confused why they held the Vegas race in Sao Paolo.
Looks good, let's hope those clouds don't spoil it.

They should just stop having races in countries/places in which it might rain. Problem solved.
Or have in it Ireland where you’re guaranteed rain.
and its raining and it looks heavy
Is qualifying on? I thought they were saying 1030
appaerntly the earliest qualifying ever.
starts at 10.30
Ok cheers, hopefully it does this time
the safety car is out checking the track, it will be wet, but hopefully not like yesterday.
Track conditions not the only problem, if the medical helicopter cant fly there is no running
Doesnt look good
I had forgotten about this rule change,.
From here on, you only have five sets of intermediates and two sets of wets.
If it is going to rain all day and we get qualifying plus the race in, how you use those tyres will be crucial.
What wet tyres are available?
New for 2024 are the number of wet tyres that are available to the drivers.From here on, you only have five sets of intermediates and two sets of wets.

Why are these wet tyres not fit for purpose?
Exactly. Make tyres that can give them the grip they need. So many other motorsports go out racing in very wet conditions, apart from F1.
Also this is a perfect example of why a tyre guard is needed for these conditions to stop the spray which causes visibility issues off the car in front.
well Q1 is underway, teams are saying rain will be heavier in about 15 mins.
Doesn't look too bad to me.
that is a wet track, the spray is horrendous.
Only 2 sets of full wets for qualifying and the race and they are not heated.

looks wetter than an otters pocket out there.
Is there any reason for this rule?
Bottas told to box for inters !!
No idea to be honest
Nah camera makes the spray look worse than it is. Hardly any puddles, no big ones to go aquaplaning.
Cant see Bottas making inters work on this track ,looks still too wet
Now they're saying how well the wet tyres clear the water so why not get on with it?!
Surely they could bring back tyre blankets though? Even if they take them off another compound but if it helps them be able to go racing in the wet, bring them back!

Part of the cost reduction/more competition drive. Drivers have been critical of it since day 0 if I remember correctly.
Bet we get a safety car start if we even go racing at all
That should be a penalty for Russell.
Russell calling for inters , when Bottas is way off the pace,
Question is rather will we get any laps without SC?
Colapinto crashes RED FLAG.
No damage to the wall so it’s shouldn’t take long.
That was a bit embarrassing.
massive job to get that Willams ready for the race.
I forsee a repeat of the Belgium farce
Rain getting heavier
I hope not would see no race than a few laps behind the SC
On a positive note, should we have a race, having quali in the morning and the race in the afternoon is actually kind of nice.
The rain is heavier for the restart and the cars on inters , going back for wets.
