safety car start? it is not even raining... :?

DRS will be engaged when Charlie W. thinks it is safe/dry.
Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.

+1 And they'll approach the first corner with much higher speed than with standing start...

In future are they going to start behind the safety car if it's a little bit humid?

smells like USA situations. Oooo, a drop of rain let us stop.
There is almost no spray, they should have seen this after one lap

SC in end of current lap.

I wonder if the safety car being out for so long is due to the concerns about getting heat into the Pirelli wets?

F1 is worried about looking bad over the Bahrain situation and yet this is their idea of a race... :P
