We're either going to end up with a delayed and heavily shortened race due to these formation laps, or no green flag running at all 

[SophieB]

They can’t race in this.

[ArchieTech]

At least three cars have been off behind SC

[sportyskells]

plus there nona lot of time could f1 go a theee race route st the next mwetimg

[Disgrace]

I would be very unhappy as a team owner here, a car is going to end up in the wall for nothing.

[Muppetmad]

Somebody is going to bin it here, surely.

[Jellyfishcake]

I just don't really understand what they are doing.

Should have red flagged it the moment the first spun,

 

Then try and get it going before they run out of time before the F1 race

[SophieB]

Hardy spectators.

[ArchieTech]

Palmovski says it's too much and she's getting aquaplaning

[FLB]

Hardy spectators.

Well, with the money they've spent for lunch...

[Muppetmad]

I'm wary of Chambers aquaplaning into the back of the safety car here.

[FLB]

Palmovski says it's too much and she's getting aquaplaning

And she's used to racing in the UK.

[SophieB]

Are they waiting for the inevitable crash before the red flag or what.

[KWSN - DSM]

Are they trying to get as much water as possible off track, and not have it fill up with cars sitting in the pits? We often yell at the TV for them not being out drying the track.

[hamilton10000]

It's wild they haven't red flagged this yet. It clearly isn't going to improve enough to race anytime soon

[Jellyfishcake]

At this rate they'll run out of fuel just on formation laps 

[Boxerevo]

Have no ideia what they are doing...just red flag it.

[Frood]

It’s getting even worse now.

[FLB]

Are they waiting for the inevitable crash before the red flag or what.

No, they're waiting for the time to run out.

[Muppetmad]

This is egregious.

[Disgrace]

Is the race director having a glass of champagne in the hospitality area?

[Jellyfishcake]

This is probably so that on the socials after they can go 'we gave it a good go' 

[ArchieTech]

Just so much rain

[SophieB]

Just nuts.

[Disgrace]

You can see how much water the cars are clearing, just give it another lap or two and a dry line will appear.

[Dara]

This is an obvious red flag.

[FLB]

For God's sake, that's the sort of rain that makes regular people stop on the side of the road...

[FLB]

Red. Finally.

[SophieB]

Finally.

[Frood]

Finally. The drivers must be absolutely miserable out there, they must be soaked.

[Muppetmad]

That call should have come ten minutes ago. The drivers did a great job to not bin it in the meantime.

[Disgrace]

Why would they put the drivers through that? Just unpleasant all round.

[sportyskells]

and as there no green flag laps no points can ve awarded or can this race get added to another one (plus rain rain fo away come back another day)

[Jellyfishcake]

Race cancelled, big break for Weug

One frustration with the being on the F1 weekend is how inflexible it is

It's hours until F1 starts and even if another race is scheduled in the gap, they surely could narrow the windows a bit.

 

Just as the rain has stopped too

[Dara]

Such a disappointment. I get the red flag. It was undrivable.
But now it's dry, the sun's out and they cancelled it?

[FLB]

Time table to F1 is too short.

[Frood]

There’s other more important things to do, such as putting the F1 drivers on the back of the truck, and the rich people walk about.

[sportyskells]

a reminder f2 had the exact same issue

[Ruusperi]

But now it's dry, the sun's out and they cancelled it?

Can't cancel these, can they?
