Hope you're having an amazing day

Please god let there be enough rain for it to be a wet race but not enough that it gets red flagged constantly :ohdear:

I want to see Lewis aquaplaning into Nico at the hairpin. Plus for the first time in forever, I can actually watch live rather than waiting until this evening once the kids are in bed.

They joked about that on the Nurburg stream. Something like "you will not be surprised to hear that the youngsters in Formula Renault failed to make it through the opening corners".

Ted giving directions for the boats to that woman was even more cringy than any of Martin's grid walks have ever been.

If they do 1 lap of the entire race and it involves nico and hamilton taking each other out it then the rest of the race is red flagged it was all worth it.

Should we do a pool for how many cars will be out in lap 1 and/or turn 1?
I say 4 in turn 1, 6 in lap 1

Looks like it will be standing water at the start of the racer and then big downpour part way though, I say 6 cars first corner 10 cars first lap. 3 cars finish the race.

If this were to happen, do points get awarded or does the race have to have completed a certain distance to 'count' as a race?

Off the top of my head, half points for up to 75% distance or something like that, full points after. Not sure if there's a minimum % to get to half points.

So Lewis you looked like a grumpy twat at the press conference, what's up with that?

You'd think Lewis would be able to instantly deflect stuff like that after all these years. Just laugh and humor the interviewer.

Watching a side by side of Senna's pole in 1990 and Ricciardo's pole and the most notable difference is that the on board camera on Senna's car isn't stabilized so it looks way more brutal and real and fast even if Senna was six seconds slower than Ricciardo. They should try that with these cars at least for our benefit.

Do you think they'll eventually incorporate a helmet cam? Would be amazing.
