Qualies start postponed to 16h30 local time. So still 30 minutes. Looks like FIA is wasting the right time window now (more rain expected + daylight conditions fading as time moves on).

Weather conditions were worse during the 2016 GP.

I guess Verstappen doesn't mind racing on the new tarmac in the rain. What about Norris ? Stewards (Ennser, Mallalieu, Burti and Herbert) can decide to postpone till tomorrow.

Definitely not a Ferrari track. Carlos died like a fart in the wind and Charlie's car was LOOSE.

And qualies start postponed again: 16h45 local time.

you reckon they're just off by one week? i think they're just wrong about this. who's gonna replace him next week? Ricciardo?

Just a few moments ago, the Belgian F1 journalist Vigneron (who's in the paddocks) said that he has seen Horner several times visiting Williams this race weekend. Something about Colapinto and Sainz 2025, he guesses.

Quali tomorrow looks pretty likely

FIA: "Postponed" (without further specifics).

It's over for today ?

Stefano Domenicali: qualies tomorrow because of the weather conditions and light conditions.

The VSC is a safety precaution. I wonder how they gonna explain why for the first minute or so the VSC wasn't necessairy and didn't compromise the safety on track, whereas after that minute it did....

Postponed till race day (tomorrow)

Belgian TV F1 journalist said that Norris isn't fond of driving in the rain, so won't regret the FIA qualies postponement decision.

However, qualies tomorrow are high risk: no whole night for teams to repair possible car damage incurred during qualies. Whoever crashes during qualies tomorrow could miss the GP.

Piastri should get that 5 sec. penalty for driving too slow on purpose (!)

I see why...Herbert is a-g-a-i-n on the stewards.

I'm not sure how these guys can ignore how Lewis was robbed, and the complain that the same stewarding that they cheered is now against them.

Max is driving dirty, and it's OK to be honest. I would never feel right with myself if I couldn't win on merit.
