Aren't I excited that I sat through an additional half an hour for no return.

Yeah, lets instead send the cars out, demolish half the grid and re-create the 2005 US GP in the process. 💡
I think the 8 or more spins/crashes we just saw in the space of a 20 minute Q1 session tells you why they didn't just let them go out in that.
We don't have spare cars these days, even back when we did they only had 1. I don't know about you guys, but I'd rather see a 22-car race tomorrow than a crash fest qualifying session.
Really? You'd rather see results decided by rules than on-track action?
I think NASCAR have pretty good reasons not for running in the wet. Just look at what happened when Indycar tried to do it.
At least we are getting another set of qualifying sessions. I'd far prefer that than seeing the grid decided by Q1 times or whatever.

Well, thats crap. And I'm sure not staying up for the qualifying if I'm getting up at 6 for the race. I'll be back tomorrow.

I feel sorry for the fans who were at the track. They came for Formula 1 at it's best, and they got a wet FP3 and 1/3 of qualifying. 
I don't think I'll be going to bed at all. There's the 12 Hours of Sebring today which doesn't finish until half 2 in the morning, F1 Qualifying and then the Race.
I could get a couple of hours but I think that will just make me even more tired than staying up.

I went to the circuit today with Shaun 👍

Porsche Supercup cars were mega and sounded fantastic in full flight.
P3 was good, we were on the outside of turn 2 and having them blast past 20 yards away was incredible.
The weather went mamms up from there, I/we got soaked waiting for quali to begin.
There was a lot great machinery on display on the infield throughout, including a Maserati 250F. Pics to follow in due course.

First few weeks is last years points, after that it is current point standings if a race delay happens.
Things happen, not sure what the big issue is if they had to start from Q1 other than people made that they missed Q2 and Q3. And if they were nascar, they'd have started by points position of last year

Well this way we still get 40 minutes track action. Isn't that what we are all here for? To watch the drivers driving the cars really fast on track?
Put it this way - would you rather see 20 minutes or 1 hour of action? Because now we still get to see 1 hour, whereas if we decided it on the Q1 times or points we'd only have got 20 minutes.
Simple as that as far as I'm concerned.
