Formula 1 Qualifying F1

[Mr S]

Should be a good race, weather is changeable to say the least. With Bottas starting from P13, will be interesting to see what happens, I reckon Norris will be on the charge for sure. I just hope that Max and Checo get a decent result, as the team deserve it after the rotten luck they have had the past few race weekends. Will be interesting to see George go up against Lewis if its wet at the start, that Merc does not look the best in the wet, and on abit of a knife edge. Wonder if George will want to show Lewis that he wont bow down, of if he will play the 'Team' game hoping that it will help his career prospects. When that visor goes down, its up to him....

Russell will not jeopardise his seat at Merc, he’s an intelligent guy.

 

[Zep]

It is going to be interesting if it is a drying race with the Mercs only having one new set of inters.

 

[Sam McGoo]

Not a good out lap or perez lol.

Come on, let's get this thing started!

 

[D Walker]

Be amazed if this starts soon.

 

[Andyk]

Be amazed if this starts soon.

Be amazed if it starts at all.

Hope we see some action, Race Control are making a right ar5e of the situation however.

Agreed. Seems they’ve wrapped themselves up in so many rules that no one can interpret them properly. I don’t think they should run it just for 2 laps to issue points though.

 

[ChrissGT]

Cant understand why they dont just run a couple of laps behind safety car. Clear some water off the track and see if it improves enough to race.

 

[Lozzer]

Yaaaay! Finally!

 

[D Walker]

I’m perplexed. It looks exactly the same as it did when they pulled off.
If they are going to run behind safety car the cars 11 down over May as well just not start.

 

[ChrissGT]

guess it is now or never, so at least give it a try. Will be dark soon.

 

[D Walker]

Farce!

 

[Lozzer]

Farce!

Embarrassing.

 

[Andyk]

Well that was a waste of 4 hours. It’s the fans who went to see the race I feel sorry for. Next time the weather is **** I’m going to phone in sick and say I can’t drive in it…..and to give them half points…For what…..Bloody **** they are actually having a podium. What a farce.

I turned over to watch the football. Not much better but still.

Although first podium for Russell. Not the last I suspect.

They should have just continued when they were doing the parade laps behind the safety car at the beginning. No one was falling off, they could have just spread themselves out to allow better visibility.

Although there was a lot of rain, there wasn't much standing water, so can't see what the issue was.
Should have had the race. They don't have to go full beans if they think it's dangerous. Just drive slower. If they come off, that's racing.

Noticed LH didn't acknowledge GR today, bit like Sakhir last year, never mind champ, nothing lasts forever.

 

[Lozzer]

That tells me GR has the Merc seat next year and LH isn't too happy about it.

Lewis did say that he hopes the fans get their money back…I tend to agree but as they did two laps I would imagine they will say it was a race.
