When did Hamilton get a luck transplant? Even got some extra time to fix the car

Its wet there waiting till every drop of rain is gone.

aaaand another 20 mins

This is just retarded...

Cant believe Silverstone 08 was only 5 years ago... How times change. Pathetic.

The main problem is the black painted lines on the racing line. Makes it a bit of a lottery. Also, for the team on a tighter budgets it's a nightmare to make enough spares.

+1. F-1 is becoming more pathetic and pathetic. Those safety precautions are really silly at the stages like this.

Q2 and Q3 will be delayed until tomorrow morning. Q2 will start at 00:00 GMT.

It's not so much the amount of water as the painted road markings... specifically the ones painted over in black paint. Hard to see.

I like the idea of 'get on with it' but I can see why the FIA don't want a bunch of teams smashing up their cars and having to spend shit loads of money repairing them.

Why not just get some jet dryers like in Nascar, just jet dry the f**k out of the puddles and problem solved.

11am Melbourne time, yes. Midnight GMT.

They did. There was one guy standing in T1 trying to blow a puddle off the track with a leaf blower.

edit: In all honesty, I don't get why they bother making full wet weather tyres. I mean, it seems like every time there's a decent amount of rain it's either cancelled qualifying or 20 parade laps behind the safety car. I wouldn't be surprised if F1 someday becomes a dry weather only series.

I can't see why TBH. Let the crashers crash. They'll learn. It's called racing.

You want the puddles to go away ? You don't need a blower, you need A CAR RUNNING OVER IT.

Car is too low ? Make the full wet tires bigger.

The FIA can easily fix this but for some reason I don't get they won't and they look like a bunch of wankers.
