Oh the excitement of Formula One these days when it rains. There's millions of viewers around the world watching rain, puddles, small streams, muddy footprints, F1 personalities sitting in the paddocks doing absolutely nothing. And now there's even spider webs included!

I remember, it was back in 1998. F1 cars had like 800hp 3.5 litre V10 engines, no traction control, no tarmac run offs and those golden days gladiators had to fight their way around this very same track. That was boring as fuck, thank God we can now watch those miserable spectators, waiting in the cold rain if the red flag would go away. This is the best thing ever.

Switch out a couple of words and you could be talking about the Wimbledon coverage, every year.

This pointless delay is basically ensuring a dryish GP2 race.

Go to the Red Bull hospitality and you'll find Jake and EJ.

Yeah, but that's still very same like what I feel about F1 at the moment: hitting the balls hard.

As a television license payer, the BBC are thieving bastards. When the weather is bad BBC television channels are impossible to watch, and only BBC channels are affected and when I try to watch online the BBC player stops so often that the coverage ends up 20-30 minutes behind.

If Perez gets pole I'm sure we'll see a Mexican wave.

There is nowhere in the world where you hear cheers like that, even during a Rain Delay... Magical.

We really DO have the best fans in the world!
