Someone was asking why don't they race in the rain anymore. This is why.

One thing I noticed with both Alonso and Albon is that both didn't release the steering wheel before impact. Luckily their wrists don't look injured at first sight.

It’s up to the driver though isn’t it? Many who don’t crash…

Albons incident took 8 seconds
Why is that important? Leclerc knocked out Verstappen to P11 just as Aston went off. No red flag can be (or should be) thrown that fast.
People have questioned the timing of the red flags, so keeping in line with the timings of the other incidents, I’ll call out the time it took to throw the red, for the purpose of giving others discussion
Mess with the Bull - you get the horns.

When red flags favour Norris twice they push it in 2 seconds, but when red flag would favour Verstappen they wait at least 1 minute, and just wait until everyone can improve time, but when Max is about to improve, then they push the red immediately. Very inconvenient.

If it rains more afterwards for the race and considering all these incidents I get the feeling we might not have a race afterall.

I can’t see them racing. After these crashes the FIA will say no chance. I hope I’m wrong and ends up being the best race in decades, I want it to happen we all do. Just no one injured please

This must be the most expensive qual in F1 history.

Was thinking the exact same thing. Could be that Belgium 'race' all over again.

At this point we're going to have cars unable to start the race that is both Williams and both Astons in bits
FIA will wait until they finish the repairs.

Yes, best that you stop watching. FIA is fixing it.
