It doesn't need to be dozens of examples. They fucked up once. They don't want it to happen again.

What is the official protocol? If there's a rule clearly saying let the drivers vote and decide to go, relieving the officials from any blame, then it would work. As long as it's the officials' responsibility, they'll be conservative no matter what the drivers say.


"Duty of Care".

Even if you place the onus of responsibility into someone else's hands, you are still ultimately responsibly for their safety, that's why the tracks/organisers won't run the race until they have made every effort to make the track safe nowdays. So even if it was written into the regulations that the drivers had the final decision, by the letter of the law, the track/organisers would still be liable for anything that went wrong.

This should be called "Duty of DayCare" then. Because it's the reason why organising any event nowadays is like watching toddlers.

Does bt sport also take every american ad break during the race? If so I'm going to switch to another stream for the race.

Dunno, depending on which driver interview you believe, the rain is either getting harder or has moved out of the area....*shrug*

It has to be a timed race. NBC has to show NHL play off matches.

Might be worth someone risking starting on slicks...they probably won't let them go for a long while and it's pretty much only damp now so... :whistling:
