Frustrating to waste so much time when the track is ready for racing. If some cars are incapable of operating in the rain then let them retire!

[–] wes@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The problems it’s probably all of them with the same issue.

[–] woelkchen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

All of them started on inters, not full wets. Obviously all have problems when it's wet.

What a mess

[–] Microw@piefed.zip 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Norris not braking AT ALL directly behind multiple cars under SC is crazy

[–] woelkchen@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

He'll probably get a warning and a fine, even though he overtook Stroll.

[–] wes@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Let’s go!

Edit: Lol what a mess

If your car breaks under water, you should be out.

What on earth is going on?!?!

[–] woelkchen@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

What on earth is going on?!?!

Must be the water!

Every AI sponsor in the world and the PU computers are defeated by water.

I expect bad racing and comedy radio, but please reality prove me wrong!

The variation in tire varies, wow. Chaos continues.

[–] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The lack of explanation for the delay is frustrating.

Glad to hear the racing resumes in 10 minutes.

Russell out WTF.

Why is the safety car so ridiculously longΒΏ?

[–] m8052@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

It was waiting for George's engine

[–] hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So that Russell's car can break down, have you not read the script?

[–] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 day ago

Apparently notΒ―\_(ツ)_/Β―

Full safety car to throw another curve ball in this race.

Disaster for the slicks. Mercs made out like bandits with that start.

Ferrari somehow always gets the strategy wrong..

[–] hal_5700X@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

Multi-million dollar budgets, brilliant engineers, cutting-edge technology, eco-friendly engines < one wet track

[–] ceilingcelery@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

The medical car lap was great! Pushing the limits in the wet fun to watch

[–] DV8@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Pre-show is showing it's absolutely pouring. Hopefully they will actually start.

[–] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He is flying right now wow.

[–] Thorry@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Alright so instead of something interesting, they just wait till it's a dry race. Why?

And now we'll get laps behind the safety car even though there are cars on slicks? Get fucking going already. If it's too wet, put on full wets. If people think they can do slicks, they need to be racing.

I don't understand what F1 is doing with wet races these days. Sure they don't want all the cars going off, but that's on the teams fitting the right tyres. They will stop with their bullshit if they actually face consequences.

[–] hal_5700X@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

🎡 Crawling on the track. My car will not go!! 🎡

Formation lap in ~8 minutes!

Delayed start 🌧️

[–] m8052@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Please another p3 for Isaac

[–] hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago

SC to the end then? jfc

What the hell is going on again? Russell stopped?!????? Norris off?
