And red flag it is. No grip from the surface.
Red flags are out
Repeat of Malaysia 09?
I want some racing.Well that was pointless.
So do they still have only 2 hours to get the race done?

DC from mission control at Mclaren says rain for another hour. Can't see what they can do.
There's not much else he can do really is there?
I think the 2 hours stands, yea
Spa 98 was worse then this shit.
now they are saying there could be another hour of rain.
ah feck I want to go to bed after working nights

Lame.
It's 2 hours or 75% whichever comes first right?
does the clock not stop on a red flag?
just tuned in
have i missed much ?
have i missed much ?
U-ni-ted! U-ni-ted! So says that korean fan with the wife and kid.
so what happens if they can't race at all?
This is not the tennis or golf

And that's what Charlie, quite rightly, wants to avoid.
Nope. But clock is stopped during the red flag.
Martins just corrected me and himself, they add the time of the delay to the 2 hour limit
So no matter what, they have two hours to get the race completed?
it's around 3.30local time, Sun sets at 5.40ish, so light will be a factor, right?
*Time to crack open the rulebooks...

feck just looked it up , no we dont want that
Funnily though SPA 98 is one of the greatest races of all times. But I agree they shouldn't start this race
feck it let's just bang on the wheels and go racing, let mother nature take care of the rest
Well they don't the idiocy of DC to worry about so it should be alright. And the only other incident that day was DC again slowing down on the race line in front of Schumacher.
3:30 seems a little late to start any race. F1 usually start their races that late?
Martin banging on about they should be racing and I tend to agree with him
Brundle thinks the track surface is more to blame than the conditions.
0726: Okay, here's Christian Horner. "The weather system we saw says 40 minutes [until the rain stops]. It was the right decision to stop the race. These cars aren't designed to drive round at slow speeds. There's a lot of aquaplaning," he tells us. "The biggest concern is daylight." It's set to go dark, officially between 0930 and 1000 BST - that's 1730 to 1800 local time.
hah....Horner talking about the light, as I said, sunset around 5.40pm, and it gets dark very quickly.
So that doesn't leave much time for a proper race? Maybe a quick 20 lap sprint?

The drivers DON'T WANT TO RACE and with that information, how would it look on Whiting if someone's injured or killed?
I've seen races run in far worse then this shit.
Mylander out of the SC, suggests no restart in sight
I understand that , its just frustrating ,if this was any other track we would be racing now.
What frustrates me is the fact that we'd have a dryer line after a few laps. Get our there and race.
What happens if they cant restart? No points or does Vettel win because they had a few laps behind the SC
Who is the broad with the fur dress in the cap?
If it's under 75% of race completed, they get a fraction of the points of the qualifying position IIRC.
Do correct me if I am wrong.
Wait......so they don't even try to complete the race the next day?
It's a brand new track with no rubber ever having been laid down, you don't know how long it'll take forms dry line to form.
Half points unless they reach 75% race distance.
