Blue sky already on F1TV coverage. Shouldn't be a long delay.

Ted telling us that the sprint is gonna be dry and celebrating like that's a good thing amid one of the most dominant seasons in F1 history....

OK TED, enjoy your dry parade...

It's either a dry parade or an hour of moody garage shots. Take your pick.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

Tbh this weekend it probably is, I'd rather see boring dry racing than endless drapeau rouge and commentators getting increasingly desperate to talk about something interesting

It's quite something to have reached the point where NASCAR is far less hesitant about racing in the rain than F1 is.

Where does F1 find these race directors? We though Whiting and Masi were bad, but Wittich is just straight aquaphobic.

Another 15 minutes. FFS. I think I will die 10 years younger than if I hadn't watch F1 in my life. My blood pressure is probably dangerously high.

They clearly don't want us to enjoy a drying session where the grid order constantly changes

If you listen closely you can actually hear the sound of knees jerking in race control.

Funny how there were serious talks about using sprinklers to spice up the show a few years ago. Now if they would used sprinklers, the would have to use those drying machines and wait 30 minutes to allow the track to dry. And then use the sprinklers again to spice up the show ad infinitum.
