Why stop the race if wet tyres are available?
Smh.
Probably because Zhou is in the barriers.
Yes correct. Just realized how bad it was. I thought he was the other car thaf drove on the little road bt the barriers.
For Sure!!

Tbf though pitting him when there is a car in the wall and there is like 5 laps left in this weather was kind of stupid.

The red flag was the right decision. All the cars were aquaplaning at the same place, even after the red flag was thrown & drivers were not at vsc/racing speed. You could end up with a pileup at the end of the straight

It was red flagged because of Zhou was in the barrier. You need to clear the car and barrier

I think they should restart. For the show.
7 laps left and the fans want to see to some racing. The rain seems steady. Put all cars on wet tyres and let them race.
For Sure!!

You really haven't said very much that made any sense today, did you ?
Maybe just put the phone aside, sit back and let it happen as it happens ...

No, nothing is ever Perez's fault.

He also crashed into pitlane wall immediately after as shown on replay. Lucky to be in the race at all
