A rolling start. What a bunch of --- clowns.

[SB15]

Lando Norris everyone

[AForumAccountName]

All of this and not even a standing start, what was the point of all this?

[FrukostScones]

(just fun)

[avantman]

this is beyond pathetic.
norris is such a coward by the way.

[erudite450]

Where are all those blaming the wet tyres? Hahahahaha farcical race direction.

[AForumAccountName]

First lap Lando again

[Hoffman900]

There are a lot of fast drivers in F1, but Oscar is one of the few proper racing drivers. Having none of it.

[Hoffman900]

A rolling start. What a bunch of --- clowns.

And the worst execution of one I have ever seen.

So another chapter of this patheticness. Among all those billions of dollars apparently there aren't a couple ten thousand to equip cars with see in rain/fog cameras (short-wave infrared cameras).
Not that it's strictly necessary. They happily raced in worse circumstances that Belgium 2021 in the 2000s, without issues. Drivers drove with a degree of caution.

They raced in worse conditions literally the previous race.

[renault rs26]

it's understandable to take different approach with juniors. they lack skill and experience.
these 20 though we have in f1 were supposed to be the best in the world.
and please lets not mention poor visibility again, it was always very poor and a big problem in the past in the wet, and cars were never as safe as they are now.

When did we accept this ludicrous narrative about visibility issues in the wet? Visibility is always reduced in the wet. Now you have drivers consistently moaning at the slightest drop of rain. We are teaching the young drivers the wrong principles. This isn't F1.

I agree...
and now we will get a typical inter start, one dry line race after. the worst possible type of wet race, always boring, because genuine overtaking becomes impossible.
the day has been ruined before it started...

The worst thingis there's no more excitement about getting an surprising result like in the previous race.

[renault rs26]

I don’t want to find excuses for FIA but better to start it one hour later than having a 1 hour red flag in the middle of the race.

Why? In the worst case it'll be equal wait, in best case there's no waiting at all if race started when it was supposed to start.

Because 2 hours maximum so if you have 1 hour red flag you only have 1 hour race

Half hour wet race is better than 1.5 hour dry race.

[basti313]

Not if they wait with DRS for dry tires...

[F1NAC]

A rolling start. What a bunch of --- clowns.

And the worst execution of one I have ever seen.

I was also like wtf?? Accelerating already at the exit of stavelot

[djones]

Oscar should know by now they want Norris to win.

He needs to push hard and put new tyres on around lap 32.

Hamilton now in trouble with his aggressive wet setup.
