BBC commentators just said the clock is stopped at 1 hour 53 minutes.

Yes.

Just a reminder that they'll need to do 75% of race distance for full points, or 25% for half points.

call_me_andrew,
They're saying that article 5 point something says the 2hr clock is still running, but the delay time is added to it. What happens if it gets dark with that extra delay!!!

---

In that case, the rain won't be restarted. I don't know if they would give out half of the normal points or, more sensibly, no points would be given at all.

Edit: no points would be given. As someone has already said, they'd need to do 25% of the race distance for that.

That said, it's still 15:28 at Korea.

But the length of the delay is added to the 2 hour time limit so the clock is effectively stopped.

I don't think it's impossible, but unless the sun comes out and the track dries in 5 minutes they will go out as soon as it improves enough to start behind the safety car.

You have got to hope for the fans in the grandstands sake that we see a race, but it is maybe looking doubtful.

On the one hand, I feel bad for South Korea, on the other hand I am enjoying this 30 headed disaster.

It started again after they removed the red flag even though they're stopped! :confused:

Can the director just show cute Korean kids and the excitement when they see their face on tv can't be bother to look at mechanics/drivers/cars standing in the rain

[sigh] could have had another hour in bed !

Kubica and Hamiliton want to race so it's ashame they have to have the red flag delay sitting on the track, otherwise you could have some of them thrashing round the track on those little scooters putting on a display for the crowds.

The traffic queues for people still arriving at the track is crazy, almost as big as the M25 !
