Apologies if this has been asked before, but at what point has Max served his penalty? Does the race need to actually start or do we only need the official starting grid for it the be “served”?

Is it raining now?

Why do we have to have this farce all the time with red flags in qualifying (and sometimes in races)?
All they had to do was keep the yellow in the first sector and everyone could have finished the lap...

Also, did the FIA forgot about its own rules? I haven't seen double yellow flags in ages.

Double yellows anyhow - so laps would have been deleted

Is it raining now?

When Hamilton was driving it was either very light rain or no rain. The track was wet but manageable.

Meteoblue has webcams and it doesn’t look too bad on those around Sao Paolo… let’s hope…

No. The yellow was in the first sector so everyone could have finished the lap. Like half the people on hot laps did as it is...

from sky images I see quite a wet tarmac but no rain at all right now: no drops falling seems to me

[Watto]

Sky saying rain for around the start of the race or 10 laps in. Track is wet right now but no rain.

Isola just said, that the degradation in the wet is minimal. On a set of full wets, they could do a whole race, on inters, he expects a one-stopper.

Remember Turkey 2021? Ocon made a zero-stopper on inters work.

Deg on wet tyres is absolutely minimal as long as the track surface doesn't develop a fully dry line.
