Damnit, I wanted to watch the Formula E but I can't find it on the ITV website in the UK. They're supposed to be the official broadcaster here.

Have you checked ITVPlayer? Should get it on there via console/TV?

 

[Psychotext]

Yeah, it's not on there. No idea what's happened there.

It's not up yet, but it will be. These things, they take time... Longer than the BBC.

 

[Psychotext]

What's confusing is that they have everything else up there that they had on.

Edit - Actually maybe not, there's a gap after the cycling highlights too. Idiots. How hard is it to put a placeholder in?

 

[Spookie]

Yeah, it's not on there. No idea what's happened there.

Highlights are on ITV HD tomorrow and also on BT Sport if you have it. Might be quicker than that piece of shit ITV website.

Local Authorities telling people to stay at home. The FIA, proponents of global road safety, saying they'll make a decision "later."

Adam Cooper ‏@adamcooperF1 15m15 minutes ago

The puddles on the road at the main entrance are already a foot deep, and same for access roads into main car park...

[Adam Scott Aukerman]

I've no doubt at all that the alternate engine spec agreement is just a ruse to further pressure the current manufacturers to agree to a cost cap on engines.

Tis up now, though I'm not sure I'm going to watch it as it's already been spoiled for me. =/

Amus is saying the same thing. Stogap Honda engine for 2016.

A few weeks ago Amus said Renault engines were catching fire and it was unlikely they would use their tokens this season. I'll only believe if Mystic Eddie says so.

More Honda the better if EJ confirms, plus McLaren can get to spank Red Bull Racing.

Arai has said they will win a race in this year.

He didn't.

"hope"
"target"

At no point before or during this season has Arai said they'll win or get a podium.

Qualifying not happening for sure today. Crazy ass winds and rain already and it doesn't look like it's going to let up for 8+ hours.

 

[Jezbollah]

It's going to be another weekend like in Japan a few years back.. monsoon, qualify on race day morning, race in the afternoon..

 

[Moozo]

Tis up now, though I'm not sure I'm going to watch it as it's already been spoiled for me. =/

If you're talking about the race winner, I wouldn't worry. He was only on the screen at the first lap and the last. The action was elsewhere.

 

[Dilly]

F1 in the past has featured different engine formula's...

No shit.

It's going to be years of bollocks just balancing them out.

 

[Aiii]

No shit.

It's going to be years of bollocks just balancing them out.

Well then, I guess nothing should change and we should keep let manufacturers dominate for years on end while they veto anything that could potentially make the sport more fun to watch.

 

[Psychotext]

I really doubt that's going to have any effect on how fun it is to watch.

 

[Aiii]

How do you know?

#F1 Weather: Latest local forecasts saying that the heavy rain will stay at 90-100% continuously until 01:00 Sunday, so another 16 hours!

.

 

[Psychotext]

How do you know?

Because we've already got cars running around with engines that are significantly worse than the other engines, I'm not finding it particularly enhances the spectacle.

As already stated, it'll be years of messing around before they find any sort of balance.

 

[Mastah]

 

[xrnzaaas]

They should cancel the race and I think everyone would understand. It's not like it'll improve within the next 24 hours.

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

#F1 FIA told teams to be prepared FP3 could count as qualifying. Cars will be sent out, if there is a window with a bit less rain

 

[dubc35]

Feel bad for the people that flew there specifically for the GP, bars and restaurants must be killing it though.

 

[navanman]

Reckon you will be correct, any break in the weather and all the cars will be out in a mock qualifying session.

 

[mclem]

Zero fucking chance of F1 at Laguna.

Well, at this rate we might be seeing F1 in a lagoon. Near enough?

 

[Mastah]

They should cancel the race and I think everyone would understand. It's not like it'll improve within the next 24 hours.

Why should they cancel the race, when the forecast says heavy rain should stop after midnight?

 

[DrM]

Good one

 

[Jezbollah]

Laguna Mojada?

A shit solution to a problem isn't a solution.

How do you know?

Common sense.

 

[Mastah]

Force India plans to send both their cars out.

 

[Mobius 1]

This is the situation here.

There isn't a chance of action today. Some of the parking lots and access roads are becoming unusable.

Intermediate tyres must not be used until further notice, says race control

Hopefully we'll see some running, conditions aren't that horrible, track is grippy, so let's do it boyz.

 

[ElTorro]

Wow. Is there a chance for the race to be canceled?

 

[RoKKeR]

Drivers (well at least one they just showed) are in cars... sounds like FP3 might happen?

 

[Mastah]

Danny Ric out on track

Kvyat - "conditions aren't too bad".

 

[Tubie]

If the track drainage is good, they should have enough time to do Qs and the race tomorrow afternoon.

 

[Zeknurn]

This is exciting.

 

[Mastah]

F1 drivers lapping in wet conditions. Beautiful,

 

[jambo]

Lots of slipping and sliding, but most are doing ok.


Also lol at Rosberg. Spun in to gravel, hit the wall and some how didn't realise his front wing was smashed.

 

[Zeknurn]

We should use the current standings for qualifier imo.

Aside from the fact that he cannot see it, in these conditions and in this speed, you wouldn't notice that quickly.

 

[Chris R]

I take it back. Total downpour where my hotel was, bought a poncho and rain boots only to hey to Austin with zero rain

 

[jambo]

Rain's really coming down now, people snaking all over the place.

So much spray!

Replay I saw seemed like a fairly large clunk when he touched the wall, figured he would have known.

Grid for tomorrow =P

 

[Zeknurn]

Hulkenberg in provisional pole. Beasting it.

 

[PdotMichael]

Raingod Vettel

 

[Zeknurn]

I bet Wolff is already on the phone with Bernie complaining that they can't use the FP3 standings for the race because bla bla bla.

 

[jambo]

Current fastest lap is 21 seconds off the lap record.

 

[Zeknurn]

HEY PASTOR


I'm still fine with the current standings.

 

[jambo]

Massa on-board footage, still hitting 300 down the straight x_x

 

[Fox Mulder]

Well then, I guess nothing should change and we should keep let manufacturers dominate for years on end while they veto anything that could potentially make the sport more fun to watch.

Just open up the restrictions. If Mercedes still dominates, then they earned it again. Renault and Honda's issues are made worse by strict regulations.

The wec has a variety of engine philosophies and produces competitive racing at the front.
