    Calm and solid race by Piastri. Few fumbles by Norris including the start, but good perf by Mcclaren. Good race for the juniors (no DNF). Good perf by Ferrari with podium for Leclerc and come back from Hamilton to 7th from 18th.

    We might get a couple laps towards the end of the 3 hour race window, but it’s never going to be a full race today. Sad times.

    Edit: crofty and brundle just said in commentary that the 3 hours hasn’t actually started because the race never started. I’m more optimistic with this information.

    Is that only my broadcast, or did the F1 intro just have a different music/score than usual?

      On sky they had a different intro. It didn’t sound like a cover of the theme either.

        Austrian TV broadcaster. Sounded like it may have been part of the F1 movie score? Not sure. But definitely not the usual intro score.

    Was hoping for rain for an interesting race but it looks like the monkey’s paw clenched too hard.

      Well… let’s see whether that intensity is raceable. If not, they won’t start they race for a while, since there is more of this rain coming after that from W-NW.

      Edit: This is exciting. No sign of delaying the start. Rain will wind down a bit after the start, before picking up again. And maybe even with a short heavy downpour too. The drivers really have to prove themselves.

    Apologies in advance that the post-race topic will come before the race ends. I should have known with Spa to add a couple of hours in the schedule -__-

    Hamilton complaining he’s lift-and-coasting and still not saving enough, looks like they could have gambled on underfueling as well?

      My god, when they start with driver’s food and driver’s prerace routine you know the broadcasters are pushing their limits.
