Washouts are hardly ever good for racing. It's spectacular and results in crashes yes, but I'd rather have changeable conditions with some good racing.

What happened in this race is scary crashes with bad visibility, you don't want that.

They probably mean in 10 mins + 10 SC laps.

Hülkenberg definitely hit some debris, albeit little. He was lucky, too.

I think parc ferme rule plays a big role here.

Race control saying that all cars must use full wets. Good decision, although Kimi was on full wets...

Obviously due to the SC restart.

I'd say, they will drive until that rain is coming and then call it.

Hopefully they'll get a few laps in without incident. I think the main problem with the last restart was cold tyres and the puddles building back up behind the Safety Car.

It's not even raining that heavily. Just need some good laps to clear the water. Surprised that the wet tyres have been so poor. Pirelli need some more time to test and improve them for next season.

True, you can no longer change the set up much for wildly different conditions between quali and the race.

They had a two-day test earlier this year at Paul Ricard, with the sprinklers on. Totalling 270 laps.
