More rain coming.

Hopefully a decent stint in the rain will mitigate this a little. Forecast has 82% chance of rain in the first half hour, and a 50% chance at the end.

On the race tread it says dry race...

Never trust BBC weather!!

I'm watching now, no rain but clouds are heavy and it is windy.

Time for a rain dance.

[LionsHeart]

Oh, that bad.

[mwillems]

God damn it, should have stayed out.

I wasn't expecting rain AND stupidity.

Hard one. It clearly pays off making quick changes and not to wait. The difference per lap is 5-7s a lap. So fast changes pay off

[mwillems]

Norris now on slicks.

[Darth-Piekus]

Is it a good idea if there is another rain?

[mwillems]

Everyone is doing the same. Seems the next rain is light.

[101FlyingDutchman]

Yes

[Darth-Piekus]

I think they did a terrible mistake at the start to keep Lando out at the start. This is where Lando lost a lot. He could have been still 2nd possibly. Its a long race though and anything can change. Mclaren seems to be the faster car now and our drivers can do a lot of passes.

Well done mate, think we all know it was a mistake not bringing Lando in

[Darth-Piekus]

No need to be sarcastic. In the meantime letts see the Mclarens as they are flying. Both Piastri and Norris are coming on the top very fast.

[mwillems]

Safety just after Oscar's stop.

Of course it is.

[Ben1980]

So, Lando should have been in within 2 laps. Once passed that he shoukd have hung it out.
