The redbull lads have got it Perez's car back to the pits and look to be working at it with some speed,

maybe they might get him into the race - if we get one.

I understand being safe but is the rain going to ease off anytime soon ? If it’s not then is delaying the start going to make much difference.

Assumption the delay is due to the medical helicopter not being able to fly.

Danny Ric has just been told that heavier rain is coming in 15 minutes.

PsychoPete · 29-08-2021 01:22PM

I don't mind these delays at all gives me a chance to make some tea and grab a few biscuits

So mclaren are telling Danny ric that it’s going to keep raining and get heavier so the race director needs to make a call because it’s not getting better.

RunningFlyer · 29-08-2021 01:24PM

What happens if the race is called off for results? Are points issued or does nobody get anything?

ctrl-alt-delete · 29-08-2021 01:24PM

Is there any way we can blame Hamilton for the rain?

TheDoctor · 29-08-2021 01:24PM

Looks like we’re going now

Itssoeasy · 29-08-2021 01:25PM

Well we are going to get going.

Lawlesz · 29-08-2021 01:25PM

I think this is looking less likely we'll have a race at all, looks like they're expecting it to get heavier

Ohmeha · 29-08-2021 01:26PM

Well that was a waste of 25 minutes, expect more waste of time circulating behind the safety car before they are pulled in

Itssoeasy · 29-08-2021 01:27PM

If it’s like this now where it looks manky for the drivers and it’s supposed to get worse this could be a mess.

PsychoPete · 29-08-2021 01:27PM

Feels like this could be an absolute mess of a race

Busi_Girl08 · 29-08-2021 01:28PM

This is going to be a disaster of a race. There's no way we'll get a full 44 laps surely.

ctrl-alt-delete · 29-08-2021 01:28PM

Plenty of complaints of poor visibility, sliding about on full wets, heavier rain due.

Can't see there being a race.

MadYaker · 29-08-2021 01:29PM

Can they even race in these conditions?

Busi_Girl08 · 29-08-2021 01:29PM

If Max gets penalised for leaving extra room for the safety car I swear to god.

Itssoeasy · 29-08-2021 01:30PM

max is saying it’s good to race but he’s at the front but even Lewis is saying it’s messy.

Itssoeasy · 29-08-2021 01:31PM

Race start suspended. Not a shock.

Ohmeha · 29-08-2021 01:31PM

I can only presume worse weather is due later in the afternoon to explain why the are exploring racing now. Otherwise are we looking at racing tomorrow?
