Yeah , bit annoying. Sky just explaining, its not that the helicopter is grounded , its because the destination hospital is worse conditions than at the Nurburgring.

I'm surprised the clown Masi isn't gagging to send them out there.

Going round round in wet and fog with the high stakes of no medical helicopter. It'll be just like the 70's. It'll make the session 'a spectacle' for the TV.

Could end up with no Friday running at all. So a Saturday morning practice then qualifying. There has been talk of a two-day race weekend. Well, we might get that here.

From the interviews with drivers etc they all seem to agree that there wouldn't have been much (if any) running anyways due to tyre set limitations

Session essentially cancelled altogether now ...

Wonder what they will do of there will be similar conditions on sunday

If the conditions are the same on Sunday then presumably the race will be cancelled.

Looking at the weather forecast, Sunday should be ok, however.

Officially cancelled now :( I don't think the conditions will be much better for FP2 either.

It's not the conditions at the track, its that the fog at the hospital the medical helicopter needs to fly to is really bad and it cant land there.
