A wash out weekend will be curtains for Lando’s WDC hopes

The race has to happen. We don't want another Spa.

At the moment the rain is still going down and it's dark.

I think the race will be fine. Yesterday they didn't predict any race for the qualifying. Team stream saying they think it can be delayed for one more hour before it will be too late.

If it goes to tomorrow, they have a decent amount of time to find a slot to run qualifying in. I still expect both race and qualifying to go through.

Would be sweet to use FP1 results though.

Further delay to 16:30. As things go Hamilton won't even make it to drive Senna's MP4-5B of 1990.

While we wait I am wondering if there is any other upgrade to bring and improve the car even more.

Interesting. If qualifying doesn't happen they might use the Qualifying Sprint Classification. For next year they are thinking of using the Driver's Championship classification in case qualifying doesn't happen which personally I do not agree.

If not tonight then qualifying will happen tomorrow.

I've seen something that no Qualifying goes in championship order.

[Darth-Piekus]

That is for 2025 from what I heard.

I've seen something that no Qualifying goes in championship order.

This is wrong.

This happens if:
A) No FP is held
B) FP is held but FIA proclaimed that it is not a competitive session (heavy rain or similar).

I wish F1TV would cover these things instead of weather maps.

[Darth-Piekus]

In the meantime doesn't Franco Colapinto look a lot like a young Ayrton Senna in terms of appearance?

[FittingMechanics]

So this is probably the last delay they can do. They can't really delay it after 17:00 because it would be too late.

I think it's definitely not happening today.

Pretty sweet tour through the McLaren garage on F1TV.

I then went and saw that is likely for next year.

[Darth-Piekus]

I'm seeing Skysports and they mentioned that it will be a rule for 2025.

In 20 minutes we will learn if there is gonna be a qualifying session or not. It's the last chance they will have before it goes dark. I don't think it will happen though. It's raining more than what they are cleaning.

[SilviuAgo]

Qualifying is postponed..see you tomorrow

[Darth-Piekus]

That is probably true. They started packing.
