The worst of the rain is over. They should get going again with the race. This procedure simply takes too long.

Medical car run, means they are looking at restarting soon. Usually medical car does a 3 to 5 lap run.

Even Vergne can drive on inters, and I haven't realy seen anyone who did a better lap after switching to full wets.
Quite slow though. He was taken around the outside of the T9 hairpin
My point is that it isn't as bad as projected.
If you know how the race direction works, just as long as you stick to your tyre, they'll flag if it becomes undriveable.

cfr. Germany 2007 where Winkelhock changed to full wets, the others to inters and the race got flagged due to the inter guys.
In other words: it doesn't pay to addapt your strategy to the weather.

Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.

Yes there is! This is supposed to be a race where the best drivers in the world battle it out in all conditions, not a bunch of pansies that run screaming at the first sign of a bit of drizzle.

light showers... still heaps of water on the track... nothing clears water better than an F1 car, pulling 60 liters of water per second off the road and throwing it back into the sky, SkySports said.

What's up with the damage in the driver surround? Looks like it was built by Ferrari!
