f1 is a risky sport but the element of risk will never go away, I feel sometimes they go too far in the name of safety to the detriment of the sport.

Soon(TM) I'm watching football .

[mizf1]

Why dont they just delay the race until the rain clears instead of starting the race and having numerous distruptions? Worldwide tv audience, well the race is still dragging on now so it's not that has achieved anything

[DelMar]

it will be evening

[Lesky]

Is double points awarded in the last race? Or has that been removed?

Thats gone

Please define TOO RISKY.

Drivers push to the limit in ALL conditions. Risk is the essence of racing.
Risk is what makes these drivers the best in the world.

Please don't use the "emotionally correct" excuse that Bianchi died in the rain. Racing drivers get killed in many different situations. It's part of the sport.

Senna and Razenberger.

[mizf1]

1 lap under the safety car is enough as the tyres dont build up heat and cars dont get brake temp

Considering how close the Manor came to crashing into Kimi & drivers were bumping into each other on straights, i will take FIA's judgment over yours any day.

Correct. It's not just F1. Here in the USA, our NFL (American football) and NHL (ice hockey) have both overcompensated in the name of player safety.

[stefa]

So what was the point of stopping the race? Conditions are exactly the same!?

[tifosi1993]

Verstappen is really something else..what a move.

[SinanOzerS]

I hate Max but he's really talented.

[Warp]

Amazing move by VES. Redbull chassis helps alot too.

[hakanabi]

He will be gunning for Hamilton that Redbull chassis has the best mechanical grip on wet. Remember monaco

[FerrariF60]

I hate Max but he's really talented.

that's because Rossie (aka rosberg) NOT the greatest i the wet....he just simply sucks

[SilverSpeed]

Go crashtappen into Lewis and Nico first WDC!!!

[stefa]

This will be the end!

[Warp]

Thank you for everything Massa...

[Warp]

I think podium is possible..

[SilverSpeed]

Brings a tear to my eye!

[bondilad]

Oh that was emotional.....was one of the few gentlemen left in the sport. All the best filipe.

[hakanabi]

Man, I can't stand Verstappen but that boy has some real special talent
