Let’s go. Rain time ️

Spa 2021 flashbacks intensifies

[frank@sopuli.xyz]

Rain in Spa. My body is ready.

[cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

so intermediate to start ?

[cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

[alisaket@mander.xyz]

Well... let's see whether that intensity is raceable. If not, they won't start they race for a while, since there is more of this rain coming after that from W-NW.

Edit: This is exciting. No sign of delaying the start. Rain will wind down a bit after the start, before picking up again. And maybe even with a short heavy downpour too. The drivers really have to prove themselves.

Is that only my broadcast, or did the F1 intro just have a different music/score than usual?

Rain and F1

[alezyn@feddit.org]

Red flag

[cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

[lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world]

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.

[353247532631@lemmy.world]

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.
