I mean you can hardly see the track on some of those camera shots, it's frustrating yes but I understand why they can't race in those conditions

The only positive comment towards racing was Max at the front - which makes sense.

Alonso fairly animated in his opinion that they can't race to his team there.

BBC have clarified with the FIA. One way or the other this has to be wrapped up by 18:00 BST (our time)

As always when it's wet I have to ask what exactly the point of the full wet tyres is. One of the silly arguments for getting rid of refuelling was to not have to move the rigs around the world yet they take what, 400 massive paperweights all around the world that can only be used behind the Safety Car.

And those cameras enhance the view so if that’s what the camera is showing it must be dangerous.

Could they not put headlights and fog lights on the cars?

A quick check on Yr.no shows the rain's not going to let up until well into the night. I can't see this race happening.

What will happen then, do races happen during the week or will the Belgian grand prix be just skipped off the calendar, or rescheduled for another weekend?

It sounds like the 4 hour window started when the formation lap started.

There is a TBC slot open towards the end of the seasson.

Redbull are trying to get Perez back in.

And Michael massy started off very certain and wasn’t as sure at the end of the radio call.

That was me 8 years ago. :P Though I wasn't going to Belgium to waste money on Heineken. :P

Steiner with a good point there. Racing tomorrow would make getting everything to Zandvoort a logistical nightmare

No he didn't seem sure at all,

He mentioned outside assistance which seems to be his initial argument.

I could understand if it was the formation lap - but it wasn't and I'd agree with Redbull saying the event hadn't started.

Joeface

Is it not the Case Redbull with drew the car so its out , despite every thing that has happened it's out

It just sounds like a bit of word play from RB to find a loophole.

Fair play if they’ve spotted one.

McFly85

if they can’t get it done today, it might be better to see if there’s another window later on in the season to do it.

Lawlesz

I would have thought RB couldn't put Perez back in after withdrawing him... But the reason from Massi about outside help surely doesn't apply if the event started

PsychoPete

If it can't go ahead today could they move it to the tbc slot or Japan slot maybe?

I thought he said the next race wasn't very far away and was up for it?

This could be another hour from what Christian Horner was saying.

Worrying precedent to set if they delay the race a day for rain. In terms of spectacle.

Itssoeasy

The sunset time is during conditions but this isn’t normal conditions so the light will go sooner.

I watching F1 on one TV while playing GTA IV on another TV to keep me busy. Both TV's in the same room.

Visibility desperate. Potential carnage if they race!!

That view from vettel onboard shows how rough it is. The car infront of him just disappears.
