I think FIA already made the schedule for tomorrow with qualy + race, if in qualy there are 3 drops of water they will postpone it with 0 doubt, not a good day for racing :(

Conditions horrendous for F2. No way they could run.

Remember Spa and how they set a precedent? Be ready for another possible 3 lap circus.

I hope that they realized that it was a mistake, not setting a precedent...

Tomorrow looks OK though.

Flooding of the facilities could be a big issue though.

No this sounds far too sensible for the FIA so what we're going to get is 10 minute updates for four hours wasting a big chunk of our Saturday followed by 2 laps behind the SC which will somehow set the grid for tomorrow #-o

Williams to gamble & fit a big rear wing for wet qualifying and pick up a win…..

So the forecast was on point. Good job weather homies.

We may still get qualifying today.

Been talking with Fábrega, he said it could be possible later, not at the hour programmed.

do you guys think Verstappen will run as normal in Qualifying, if it happens? It won't make any difference for the starting grid, of course, but a couple of years back in Monza in the wet Red Bull still qualified 2nd and 3rd, despite an upcoming penalty.
