Merc was sparking intermittently down the straight just there?

Yes, car was already bottoming out several times on the first straight even with rain setup.

Not ideal

It's still FP1...

Screw this rain, I just want a normal session. Now we get an hour of everyone sitting in pitlane.

Supposedly it's drying up - don't tune out!

You could easily drive on inters/wets. What a waste of my time.

2/3 of the grid then who never set a time?

You could easily drive on inters/wets. What a waste of my time.

And waste the limited sets of those tires that they have and might need later? Why would they do that.

You do realize they only get 4 sets of inters for a weekend right? Sounds like a plan to use all of those in FP1, and then be out of tires for qualifying/race...

Well tbf last race in Canada everyone went out in fp3 during the rainshower... then again they prob needed to gain data for the wet qualifying. Since it's expected to be dry tomorrow there's less impetus to risk the car in the wet
