I was doing that exact same post.
Having to go online to get that info says a lot about how "F1" is embarrassed about this.

Race to resume with a rolling start in about 15 minutes.

 

[IforceV8]

Maybe Ted should go sign the tractor, jerkoff

They keep showing replays of Gasly being angry, but refuse to show why

At least on F1TV the commentary just had a rant about how it is completely unacceptable to have vehicles like that on track.

 

[TumeK5]

There's no way they'll restart this race again.

About that...

Yep. Karun had issues with Gasly's clip just as he was approaching the tractor, it appeared.

 

[PaMu1337]

Not surprising, but full wets are mandatory for the restart

 

[NICKname]

About that...

I'll believe it when I see it.

Yeah could still be just a few SC laps and back to red

A restart is still a restart, no?

Suspended.

 

[PaMu1337]

Restart suspended

 

[NICKname]

They didn't even actually bother to do a safety car parade. Pathetic.

 

[Dolph Drago]

Well, I WAS going to stay up for this one. Guess I'll go to bed instead.

 

[Grayfox]

restart suspended.

The tractor incident has been "noted"

The tractor incident has been "noted"

Commentators' most used words just now: 2014, Bianchi, tractor

 

[IforceV8]

Is Sky planning to do a puppet show of the tractor on the track or what? Sky and the FIA deserve each other.

Albon is saying this was the worst visibility he has ever experienced

Albon is saying this was the worst visibility he has ever experienced

Worse than Spa last year?

(I'm aware Albon wasn't there last year, but just saying)!

Also, they just restarted the race timer despite the red flag. Curious.

 

[PaMu1337]

Worse than Spa last year?

(I'm aware Albon wasn't there last year, but just saying)!

Well he did also say that some of the other drivers may have seen worse

 

[Grayfox]

Thoughts on the tractor v Gasly issue?
To me, he was going too fast, we had double yellow.

 

[NotThePrez]

The tractor incident has been "noted"

And it'll apparently be investigated after the race.

It'd be an absolute 🤬ing farce if the FIA penalize Gasly for that.

Edit: Is the race now under the 2-hour timer?

 

[Touring Mars]

Pure luck that there hasn't been a fatal accident at Suzuka again today... zero lessons learned and a very bad day for F1 and the Japanese GP. Absolutely unforgivable.

 

[Jezza819]

Cute kid.

 

[AshenGraey]

Was going to stay up to watch the race but decided to take a nap and completely missed the start. From the comments it looks like it's F1 vs the weather as usual. Guess I'm not missing too much....back to bed I go then, I'll check again in another 2 hours

 

[PaMu1337]

The biggest shock of the day:
Apparently Bottas has a pet reindeer (called Rosa)

 

[MagpieRacer]

The scenes if Gasly gets a penalty.

 

[PaMu1337]

Rain should be clearing up soon. Track will still be very wet of course, but we may see an hour of driving still
