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.

Yeah this isn't happening. for at least another hour so with the time restrictions here I'm not feeling confident we'll see a race.

Not anymore. It has long baffled me that they schedule the Asian races in the middle of the worst possible seasons for them to take place. Japan in the middle of typhoon season? Check. China in dreary early April/late March. Check. Singapore in the lead up to Monsoon season? Check.

Wtf, why wait another hour? Just open the pitlane, do the start procedure and start in half an hour

I'm not even angry. Just sad. Another low point for F1.

Why the fuck would they wait so long? Full wets are going to stay in the blankets, as usual

Exactly this. I really do not understand.

Only good thing is that the track stayed wet all race when it last rained here, so it shouldn't be dry for the start.

They have access to the radar. They could see exactly when the rain was going to end. They could have started the procedure half an hour ago and the only problem would have been a few mechanics getting their hair wet
