Todd_is_God Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Just now, Mr. Brightside said: Nah man you just don't get it, F1 is just scared of a little rain nowadays. Not like the good old days when drivers were dying every other race. If F1 isn't scared of a little rain, why are they nowhere near restarting the race right now? You're being obtuse here. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks fine, and Karun also said it's fine. Everyone knows they will wait till it stops raining, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Brightside Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 The fact is, whether you like it or not, the current generation of cars create far too much spray to race safely when the track is very wet. Would you rather they started the race now, ran for 5 or 6 laps under safety car before they race again? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no reason why they can't race under race conditions right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now who is being obtuse? You know fine well that if it started now there would be multiple laps under safety car before they started racing. By delaying the start it should enable them to race straight away. Edited August 27, 2023 by Mr. Brightside 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a bit of a chuckle when I heard this , is there a better example of the mentality of the new "but the simulator said this should have happened" generation of drivers . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no reason for any more than 1 for them to allow the rolling start. Arguably should be a standing start anyway.
