I am confident Lando will do okay and George won't pass him at the start.

Albon just said on F1Tv they will not be part of today's race, so, good news, one place up for Oscar, bad news, one place up also for RB drivers.

The grand prix will commence in 2 and a half hours. How is the weather?

Just ignore Red Bull. It is out of our hands. If it is wet, it will be a start behind the safety car and that will mean risk to Norris is minimal.

If Verstappen can fight through to get decent points, he deserves it. Piastri needs a good race and especially, a great defense if Verstappen comes near. This is his role now and he will get the same from Norris if the roles are reverse next year.

Not being rude, but not sure many posting are at the track. Best you can do is check the weather apps, like everyone else.

Max vs the ferraris and Oscar will decide it.

It's wet but no rivers on track. They can drive in that.

Unless Williams has a critical parts shortage I think Albon could end up starting if the race start gets delayed by an hour or something. A 3 hour turnaround for a broken car has been done before.

Maybe they went for focus on Colapinto's car, easier to repair.

Albon forced out of Sao Paulo GP following Q3 crash!

How many wings do the teams bring to a GP in case of wet weather? Just wondering if the wing on the Mclaren is chosen because they think it is best for the conditions we are going to have in Q and R, of if it is simply the highest downforce wing they brought with them.

At the moment we are gonna have an intermediate race start. It stopped raining though. However it may start raining during the race and its scary how wrong it can go.
