Brasi 2016 - Autodromo Carlos Pace Interlagos

[N4D13]

AndyL, a GP must end at most 4 hours after the scheduled start time.

As for everyone having a go at Charlie Whiting, can you people see now why so many SCs and red flags are justified?

[AndyL]

So they could still wait an hour or two for an improvement in the weather and have a race then.

They are changing tyres

What does this remind me of?...

Remember the famous Brazil GP where Fisichella was caught out at that same area, and had that spin and crash that turned his car into a pile of parts... Yeah, it's THAT wet...

Why are teams going onto inters if it is so dangerous? That doesnt make sense.I still think we could have raced after 2 laps of SC. In the rain people crash. Thats always been part of racing and what gives the likes of Manor and Sauber the chance to score points.

They still kept that going.

Soft they are nowadays :-) not

Riccardo caught out by the red light, 5-sec. penalty.

SC was the right call, looking with hindsight. Race starts in 10 minutes.

If they are able to race in that break in the weather, the real question is if they can put enough laps in before the next band of rain comes. A shortened race means partial points, which makes Abu Dhabi the most important race of the season.
