A total, utter, bloody, disgrace.

What. The. Frak?

They're thinking about Championship position rather than the race I reckon.

**steveaki13** · 24th October 2010, 08:26

Agree

This really is an F1 low point.

The decision to race is being dictated by a few drivers happy to not race and pick up the points for finishing where they started.

F1 has become a complete farce.

Why are we not racing. I agree that the track is a joke at the moment but the cars have cleared it pretty well and it's no more than damp on the racing line.

F%*king joke.

Listening to those with vested interests is never a good idea!

**Sonic** · 24th October 2010, 08:47

I'm sorry but if it's dry enough for inters after 3 racing laps it was dry enough to start

Indeed. Hamilton's getting a lot of praise for wanting to get on with it, but would he have been so keen if he had a lead to protect?

Likewise Vettel, as soon as he got to the point where full points were awarded, he suddenly thought it should be stopped.

^^^^^

Which is exactly why the race director should make have an impartial view to listen to - where's Pedro in the TF109 when you need him?

In all fairness, in his post-DNF interview Vettel did say he'd have liked the race to be stopped but it was still OK to continue. But yes, there didn't seem much point in the hour-plus-long start delay or whatever it was in the end.
