2021 Formula One Season: Championship Decider Abu Dhabi - Verstappen Wins in a Controversial Race! 🏆 🍾

[Supersuns]

This won't be starting for a while

 

[MirosWife]

We could be here a while

 

[Forward Press]

I'm not in a position to watch but from the descriptions the conditions sound horrendous.

From the driver cameras we saw you could not see the car in front at all.

Verstappen is saying it's fine but he only has to contend with the safety car's spray.

It's the right decision as Ricciardo just said on the radio.

david croft filling time. just what everyone wanted

Cheeky little 'It's not that bad, but okay' from Max when told the race is going to be further delayed.

I like his style.

 

[DamoESP]

Well fellas, there is Moto2 on 507 right now that we can watch while we wait

 

[Mister B]

Bed time for me I think. This won't kick off any time soon. Typical, Dan's best chance and it will not make half race distance.

 

[Magma]

this whole has it started/hasnt it started is quite bizarre. i thought the race started as soon as any laps after the formation lap occurred

Lewis’s tyres going off yet?

It did not get to the grid under its own power like the other 19 cars. Every team would protest if Perez was allowed to start.

Not sure if posted before, but while we wait (or like me, heading to bed)...


Transcript (when asked about the rain delay break):

I'm glad I went to the toilet. The one I went to, someone had dropped a crazy bomb in there. The worst thing ever. It's going to haunt me for life.

I'm starting to think this race will be abandoned.

 

[FR0GGY]

Why don’t they just start it and race to the conditions.

Horner saying it's at least an hour from starting

Radios?

 

[royboy2]

If they did allow Perez to start he would have to be a lap down as he didn't do the first lap behind the safety car

 

[Vader]

Radios?

No. They need to be able to see the whole of the track, in the sector for which they are responsible. If they can't see the next mashall station, then they obviously can't see all of their section of track. If they can't see a part of their section, they can't report if something happens in that section - and that's an unacceptable safety risk.

Canal reporting Kimi to announce his retirement at Monza, Bottas to move to Alfa and George into the Merc

 

[Supersuns]

Checo can race

 

[Magma]

yeah i reckon they'll do another sighter lap to get half points and then pack up for holland

How long has the maximum time for a GP been 3 hours? I thought it was still 4 hours (although I'll admit that its been years since I've thought about that rule)
