So if it starts raining during a race they're going to stop and wait for it to pass. And no-one wants the disgrace that was Belgium last year.

The wife doesn't follow F1 but listens in whilst I'm watching and she's just asked why someone like Brundle isn't race director as he always seems to talk a lot of sense. Hard to argue with that really.

Even Christian Horner's said he'd have started it. The racers, tbf to them, tend to be happy to go and race. At the risk of turning into a reactionary rightie, it's Health and Safety gone mad ;)

Still prefer to see a proper race start, rather than following the pace car

As long as two laps of that doesn't end up the race, eh!

Well yes, but to get a proper race start, they’d have to be reasonably confident it’s safe enough.

I should have added “If possible” to my comment. ;)

They're going to end up waiting themselves into more bad weather at this rate.

I was expecting a bigger hit than it was, guess it's down to how they're designed these days after Grosjean's crash.

Yes, it seems that way but it was nowhere near the impact I was expecting when I saw the wreckage. On a track like this it's possible for a close running car to avoid driving into the accident ahead but when 1 car becomes 2 it's going to be much harder not to get collected too.

Cars follow that close and can't overtake!! Pitiful.

Again only interesting things that happen in this race are drivers misfortunes, team mistakes etc.

And still two best teams way ahead of the pack - rule changes not made enough of an impact.
Ever get a race without safety cars and they'll be lapping 5 th placed car before race is 3/4 of the way done.

With the way the car split I assume it's almost what it's designed to do under extreme forces. Rather break there than in the middle of the cockpit where the driver is. Also more likely to be a weak point as it's a join between two parts of the car.

Like with steel capped boots - great for protection but once that protection stops it's not pretty and why you can end up losing toes if the force is applied at the wrong place.

Ferrari have gone far too aggressive on Leclerc's setup. It's no good having a straight line advantage if you've got no traction to make use of it.

Vips was especially dumb, had a potentially bright future ahead, and he's gone and wrecked it. Saying that though, haven't seen anywhere that he's lost his F2 drive from it, but if it was Red Bull paying for it I'd imagine he will be.
