Session was red flagged despite the fact that it isn't raining at the moment.
Ceilings too low for the medical helicopter to fly

A delay of at least 30 minutes expected to the session.

It doesn't rain that much but visibility is terrible, is it the pollution?

Why can't the FIA provide a state of the art temporary hospital at the race track? They could easily sort out this helicopter problem in the future.
Always find the gap then use it.

Changeable conditions really shake up racing, adds a real element of excitement... I don't know who these people are who say these thing, but they are wrong!

This is so ridiculous. Fans wait with baited breath for months for the start of the season; we wait weeks in between races; we get up at silly o'clock because we're so excited to see some F1; and then, even though weather at the track is fairly OK, we get no action because of a system which is never used in FP.

Yes we have to be safe but surely someone should have thought about this sooner (we've had heavy rain in China before and never this issue) and had a contingency.

FP3 will be crazy, if it happens... #-o

Hamilton is signing some merchandise for the fans, one can like or dislike him, but he is the star because of those things. At least the fans will appreciate it.

I know it's still a long way off, but if qualifying can't take place then will they use the finishing order of Australia for Sunday's start?
