Any odds on the Red Mercedes taking Max out today ?

They are the best drivers or they aren’t.
One of the biggest defining moments during a race is the start. Now it’s a procession, just Verstappen the trophy now.
But he did do the best job yesterday, so fair’s fair.

I agree it’s a massive shame not to get a standing start but they just can’t risk a massive accident.
It’s not a massive shame it’s a procession and not a race. I actually turned this in to watch car racing not slot cars.
I take your point, but they can’t race properly in this. None of them can see!

I think they have actually done the right thing now in delaying the whole thing in the hope the weather improves. TBH Masi was a fool for trying to start it under the circumstances.

The conditions are awful, they can’t see. Max was even saying he was struggling to see the SC.

So, everybody that had a dry setup, can now change their cars in the pitlane. Cars are out of parc ferme.

Verstappen said he was fine to go.

Not according to F1TV. They can change some things but because the race hasn't started, the list is short.

They read a list. Something like; compressed gasses, electrical charge, tire blankets, ducting, can start / stop engine.

I thought they were, but there is the thing that the race hasn’t started yet.
