If they just manned up and got on with it from the start, we would have had the best of the weather. All these delays, has just made the start of the season into a farce.

What would happen if this was delayed by so much that it would no longer be daylight? Would qualifying be put off until very early tomorrow morning or would they continue running even in dark conditions?

They either delay until tomorrow morning, or the field is set the way they are currently.

It would be tomorrow morning like it happen already. They never cancel it when it had started tho.

End of rain is scheduled for 19.15 and night is at 19.30
This is not going on the good way.

They've been discussing this quite a lot, it seems like they'd come back tomorrow morning and do it then.

 

[Yukon]

Ok, thanks for the replies. 👍

Something similar happened in Japan 2010, but qualifying didn't even started that time

 

[GTPorsche]

To correct what I just said, it would be set by numerical order if they cancel.

Being F1, they probably have some ridiculous plan to sort it out. It will involve, BBQ ribs, space suits and a underwatered houseplant.

 

[Lizard]

Since I missed Q1. What is everyone's pace looking like?

 

[Grayfox]

It's beginning to look a lot like Britain, Rain everywhere,
But sorriest sight to see, is the lack of racing,
Down at Albert Park.

 

[F1 fan]

underwatered houseplant.

Oops. Thanks for the reminder...

The Japanese commentators have openly admitted that they have run out of things to talk about. They were just talking about Michael Schumacher's birthday, which is in January.

 

[Lizard]

This reminds me of getting soaked at Silverstone last year. Wearing a thin jacket was not a wise idea that day.

 

[CinnamonOD]

They are just reading tweets and talking about 2012 race here

 

[mattythedog]

It doesn't look too good.

 

[RX-7_FD3S]

Eric Boullier told Frank Montagny that qualification will be probably held tomorrow. At least that's what he thinks.

 

[Submerged]

I am so bored and in a bar. Not the most ideal solution. I have no idea if they are restarting it or not....

 

[F1 fan]

bored +in a bar

=
Does not compute.

 

[shepzki]

Bye bye, tomorrow now.

 

[CinnamonOD]

That's all folks

 

[dhandeh]

Well, that was worth getting up for! 👎

 

[RX-7_FD3S]

Go Home.

Since Q2 and Q3 will will be held tomorrow.

 

[sems4arsenal]

Great 🤬 start

 

[Submerged]

Damn. Tomorrow at 11am Australia time.

All the dudes I know aren't interested in hyper expensive cars going round in circles. And its a new bar I am in.

I am supposed to be watching the rugby tonight at one am. Christ on a stick, that is my Sunday ruined! Lol.

 

[m8h3r]

Q2 and Q3 delayed to 11:00AM tomorrow.

Fricken 'ell, when's that gonna be in England?

 

[Submerged]

Cheers. Unfortunately still got a sizable drink to get down first!

 

[Anghammarad]

Since I missed Q1. What is everyone's pace looking like?

Very difficult to say due to the conditions. Rosberg looked strong though.

 

[RX-7_FD3S]

Fricken 'ell, when's that gonna be in England?
