Bernie looks at his 'sprinklers' file, thinks, then gets a fresh sheet of paper: "Sprinklers + 5 minute qualifying"

People might not like the resurfaced track, but I'm genuinely amazed by it's drainage capabilities. Also, the old surface with all the bumps, imagine all the puddles that would have been all over the track and possibly cause further delays under these conditions.

Yeah, they did very very good job

Unlike Japan, where they run qualifying quite late in the afternoon and in the autumn, they have a lot of daylight left here, so there's no reason why they'd call it any time soon (unless there are regulations that stipulate a maximum session time which includes red flags).

Pirelli really needs to make a proper fucking wet weather tyre.

 

[Zeknurn]

Great stuff SunhiLegend.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Please please please please call off the session.

 

[kmag]

Please please please please call off the session.

They're going to get out again.

 

[DrM]

I want that car

 

[RoKKeR]

Damn Sunhi, great stuff. Are those 60fps?

 

[nature boy]

Im at the beach with limited data(wont open these sunhi gifs), i guess its really bad weather?

Btw i was there last year, crazy hot quali (left the track as soon as quali ended) but after two hours an unbeliavable storm hit budapest.

Stopped. Started late (15 minutes i think) and ran for enough time that everybody managed to set a time.

Restarting right now, 13 minutes on the clock.

Modern f1 cars are much less capable of running in heavy rain than in the past, regardless of the tyres you put on them.

 

[Mastah]

Can we have this Charlie for the near future? Not the wimpy one.

Stopped and rightly so. It was too wet for the tyres.

 

[Mohonky]

Sonsounds pretty bad considering usually people scream for them to actually at least get the wets out.

This sounds like its properly dangerous huh.

 

[Xando]

Rain to stop in 7 minutes. Last 6 min of Q1 on intermediates?

 

[Gareth Bale]

This looks a bit unsafe

 

[kharma45]

Good lap VES

 

[Tempy]

BONK - red flag

 

[chadskin]

Sauber or Toro Rosso

You won.

 

[Mastah]

Ericsson again.

 

[Zeknurn]

Oh Ericsson. You seem to like the walls a bit too much.

 

[Xando]

Sauber or Toro Rosso

Told y'all

 

[DrM]

Nice commercial for Emirates

 

[Lima]

Lol red green red green red...

This is like one of my jerk off instruction game videos.

 

[kharma45]

Alonso set the quickest first sector by a tenth, just as the red flag came out.

 

[nny]

Sun shining now, the gods accepted Ericsson's sacrifice.

If there's no further rain and sun is out in full force, they certainly will be on inters quite soon and who knows, maybe even slicks at the end of Q3?

 

[Waveset]

Marshals wearing camo rain jackets can't be a good idea!

 

[nny]

If he was an Ice Man he wouldn't that, you fools.

 

[mrklaw]

When they red flag a qualy session they should add time to the clock equivalent to an out lap. Otherwise it can unfairly compromise drivers that had expected more time to be available

 

[Zeknurn]

Jebus Sainz.

Terrible idea. That's the beauty of it.

 

[kharma45]

Inters. I like it. Ballsy

 

[Zeknurn]

Verstappen inters? Uh oh.

 

[mrklaw]

Terrible idea. That's the beauty of it.

Worst case, you could have a red flag situation multiple times during a session and have nobody actually manage to set a time.

Edit: like that. 4 minutes gone, on,y a couple of actual times set

 

[kharma45]

Hahamilton

 

[Zeknurn]

Hamilton struggling badly.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Whoops

A single yellow flag can do that though

 

[chadskin]

Come on, bring out the red flag. You know you want it, Charlie.

 

[Tempy]

Massa on inters bonk - red flag.

 

[Mastah]

And now Massa :/
