Stupid stewards. Wish they'd stop being so afraid of the rain. They utterly ruin every race where there's a splash of rain now, it's beyond a joke.

Think of all the classic races we've had in the past that we simply wouldn't have with the current regime.

It's a shame and not fair play for drivers who was out in Q1.

WTH?!

We've seen heavier rain when they still raced, and now qualifying is postponed because of this?!

The weather map says there is another big cloud moving in in the next 15 min.. so probably influenced the decision.. Hoping the sat tickets would be valid for sunday Qualifying as well..

Please stop blaming the drivers, as it's up to the FIA/Charlie Whiting whether they run or not, or if a safety car comes out, etc.

The drivers can influence the decision though.

I find it interesting in karting despite being an older chap now, our officials allow us to race in the rain especially in moderate conditions with wet racing treads...the drivers lift their game and play a more "sensible" part in the race.

The blame and fault is of the FIA/Charlie Whiting.

The conditions are far darker than the TV suggests according to local residents.
