F1TV or some other broadcaster? I thought it was the same score.

[fisco@lemmy.ml]

Could have got the race going already ....fucking melts !

[tomatopotato69@lemmy.ca]

Meanwhile cars have inters bolted on. So just put on the fucking wets and go racing and let the drivers use their fucking judgements. It's not fucking rocket appliances.

This is the best conditions will be for the foreseeable future. Stupid to not get underway

[cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

yeah weird. must be quite tricky for the driver to start/stop/start

[etnaphele@lemmy.world]

It’s a visibility issue, full wets would only exacerbate the problem… I agree with the frustration but I must admit it makes sense

[cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Today’s race: the weather report.

[fisco@lemmy.ml]

Yes, even the commentators suggested on the formation lap, that this was the best time to get going...‍️

[mhague@lemmy.world]

On sky they had a different intro. It didn't sound like a cover of the theme either.

[luvs2spuj@lemmy.world]

We might get a couple laps towards the end of the 3 hour race window, but it's never going to be a full race today. Sad times.

Edit: crofty and brundle just said in commentary that the 3 hours hasn't actually started because the race never started. I'm more optimistic with this information.

[coelacanth@feddit.nu]

I don't think the full wets would make things worse even, it's these fucking ground effect regs diffusers that cause all the spray. Which would be acceptable if we still had good racing in the dry, but the FIA have given up on that too and just let the teams bring back dirty air anyway.

[wes@lemmy.world]

Apologies in advance that the post-race topic will come before the race ends. I should have known with Spa to add a couple of hours in the schedule -__-

[cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

in the word of Hamilton: unacceptable

/s

[cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

My god, when they start with driver's food and driver's prerace routine you know the broadcasters are pushing their limits.

[lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world]

Was hoping for rain for an interesting race but it looks like the monkey's paw clenched too hard.

[mhague@lemmy.world]

Accuweather radar shows the clouds breaking up soon

FIA anticipate the rain to stop at 4pm local time.

Targeting a start "as soon as the standing water has been cleared from the track". #F1 #BelgianGP
