2016 Formula 1 Grande Premio do BrasilFormula 1

[NightHawkFur]

Indianapolis all over again (although completely other circumstances)

 

[MUSC4EVER]

This really is not good!

 

[Vinylshark]

Crowd are starting to turn

Can't really blame them. They paid the tickets and have been sitting in the rain for hours to see them race.

 

[niky]

Maybe they should play a Twilight Movie at trackside? Would be more riveting.

These conditions are just wretched.

 

[Dennisch]

Come on Charlie, listen to your drivers.

 

[GTFan24]

This is absolutely 🤬 stupid.

 

[SuperDiscoDaz]

I'm not gonna blame them at all. Especially when some of the drivers are ready to go

 

[AudiMan2011]

I can't see this race making it to 3/4 distance to be made official. The rain just isn't letting up at all.

 

[NightHawkFur]

Maybe they should play a Twilight Movie at trackside? Would be more riveting.

These conditions are just wretched.

A screening of "The Room" would be more entertaining.

 

[ukfan758]

The race is not even halfway complete, F1 should race on Monday since they don't have a round next weekend.

 

[GTFan24]

The fans are very pissed right now.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

Me too. This was supposed to be a fun afternoon before work where the title might have gotten decided. This sucks.

 

[Samus]

I'm not sure what you guys want. The weather is just as bad if not worse as when they were aquaplaning and crashing earlier and it was only sheer luck that there wasn't a monumental accident.On this track, with it's undulations, it's just not safe IMO.

Hamilton obviously wants to race because he wants full points, plus he doesn't have the visibility issue.

 

[sems4arsenal]

I can't see this race making it to 3/4 distance to be made official. The rain just isn't letting up at all.

It's actually going to get worse in about 15 minutes time with more rain incoming, there open slot to make this race finish is now, it's more probable we aren't going to complete 3/4th distance.

 

[Dotini]

I can't see this race making it to 3/4 distance to be made official. The rain just isn't letting up at all.

Does this imply only half-points will be awarded?

 

[Dennisch]

Next restart will probably see another 10 laps behind the safety car. What a farce.

The drivers should go talk to Charlie now.

 

[SuperDiscoDaz]

Someone at the FIA has just made a big pile of excrement by stopping this.

 

[SuperDiscoDaz]

Does this imply only half-points will be awarded?

Yes it will be half points

 

[DLR_Mysterion]

Wow

 

[H20HYBRID_GT]

Remember when Formula 1 cars could race in the rain?

This is just silly.

On the other hand the tires seem to be pretty bad for these conditions...

Still, worst "race" I've seen so far.



Edit :

Niki Lauda also says it's ridiculous...

 

[Dennisch]

Hamilton obviously wants to race because he wants full points, plus he doesn't have the visibility issue.

Bottas is 11th. He also asked to race again.

And on top of that. It's hardly a downpour that's going on.

 

[Milouse]

 

[GTFan24]

FIA has now made a joke of themselves for 2 straight races. This is just ridiculous

They choose Brazil then because it's after USA and Mexico so less traveling.

 

[Kenocar]

Dotd goes to Maylander

I remember the race, where pretty much everyone went out in turn 1 and Fisichella won in a Jordan...

 

[SuperDiscoDaz]

Dotd goes to Maylander

No Verstappen will still win it

 

[dingodile_r89]

What an absolute ********...

 

[GTFan24]

You have gotta be kidding me....

 

[ukfan758]

They should move Brazil, USA, and Mexico to June after Canada.
