Track Map
Now albon. Way way too many red flags in conditions that are challenging but not terrible. What is going on?
This is what happens when you have to stop the racing because of the spray every time it rains. Drivers are losing their ability to drive safely in the rain because they do it so rarely
Drivers have been complaining about the new tarmac all weekend, probably making grip in the wet even worse and more unpredictable than usual.
I’m expecting the race start to be equally dramatic. Although if there’s fewer cars able to make their grid slots because of these quali crashes, we might get through the first lap without a red.
Edit - Russel on the front row. Definitely going to be dramatic.
